How to Shoot Moving Targets | Ambush and Tracking Technique | Tactical Rifleman

This YouTube video advertises an upcoming "Moving Target Engagement Urban Combat Course" offered by Ghost Firearms Training. The description indicates that course dates for 2024 will be announced soon, and directs viewers to their website for more information. The content focuses on tactical training and skill development for engaging targets in an urban environment.

This video demonstrates an intermediate-level training drill focusing on engaging a Texas Star spinning steel target with a Bersa TPR9 pistol. The drill emphasizes accurate shot placement on moving targets and safe firearm handling, culminating in a slide-lock clear. The shooter exhibits proficiency in recoil management and engaging dynamic threats.

This video demonstrates a dynamic shooting drill using a SIG Sauer MCX Rattler equipped with a Leupold LCO optic. The shooter, Naaming Kotchanok, showcases proficiency by engaging targets while seated on a moving cart, highlighting the importance of stability and accuracy under motion. The drill emphasizes safe firearm handling and the effective use of tactical accessories in a dynamic environment.

This TENICOR video focuses on a crucial aspect of shooting on the move: accepting sight movement. The description emphasizes that a proper platform and driving the gun help restrict sight movement to within the target area. It encourages shooters to embrace this natural movement, as accuracy is achieved when the sights are aimed within the target zone at the moment of discharge, rather than striving for tight groups while in motion.

This video from Tactical Hyve features Scott Satterlee, an expert instructor, demonstrating advanced techniques for engaging moving targets at long range. Satterlee explains how to calculate bullet time of flight, estimate target movement using mnemonic devices, and utilize specialized training aids to determine necessary hold-overs in mils. He details three primary engagement methods: Ambushing, Tracking, and 'Track-bushing', culminating in a live-fire demonstration of the ambush technique.

This video demonstrates a 'quiet training' drill using a suppressed Glock 21 Gen 4 in a wooded environment. The session focuses on engaging targets while walking and performing reloads, highlighting the usability of sights with a suppressor and the effectiveness of .45 ACP ammunition. The drill emphasizes maintaining situational awareness and proficiency in dynamic shooting scenarios.

In close-quarters combat, drawing a pistol can be dangerous as an opponent can easily grab the firearm. A tactical knife offers a safer alternative, allowing the user to create space by targeting vital areas like the carotid artery or kidneys. This space allows for a safe transition back to a firearm. The video demonstrates this strategy using a Glock pistol and a fixed-blade knife.

This video details crucial footwork techniques for Navy SEALs during Close Quarters Combat (CQC). It emphasizes 'economy of motion' and the 'long step' technique for balanced entry into corner-fed rooms, ensuring immediate engagement capability. Proper footwork prevents exposing vulnerable side plates and maintains a stable shooting platform.

This video demonstrates a clever modification of standard military cloth bandoliers to increase their magazine capacity. By releasing a hidden white string, the pockets expand, allowing them to hold one or even two 5.56mm magazines each. Special Forces operators pack these expanded bandoliers with other essentials for rapid emergency resupply in the field.

This ballistic gel test compares 9mm Barnes TAC-XPD and .45 ACP Cor-Bon Pow'RBall. The 9mm achieved deeper penetration (13-14 inches) with consistent expansion, while the .45 ACP created a larger wound cavity and significant energy transfer but slightly less penetration. The Cor-Bon Pow'RBall's design enhances feeding reliability in 1911 platforms.
