How to use modified prone

This video demonstrates an advanced shooting drill utilizing the Viking Tactics (VTAC) board at 200 yards with an AR-15. The drill emphasizes proficiency in barricade shooting, requiring shooters to engage targets from various ports (center, slant, side) while managing recoil and maintaining stability. The instruction is delivered by a US Navy Veteran, showcasing experienced-level techniques for engaging steel plates at distance.

Lucas Botkin, demonstrating expert-level proficiency, executes a challenging 200-meter shooting drill at the Element Training Complex. The drill involves engaging steel targets from diverse barricade positions and heights using a suppressed AR-15 equipped with an Aimpoint optic and the new ADAPTIV Rail Prototype. Botkin's performance highlights effective movement, stability, and precise target engagement, completing the drill in an impressive 2:06.0.

This video from Tenicor explains the concept of durability in barricade shooting, differentiating it from mobility and stability. Durability involves two key aspects: maintaining your position behind the gun after firing and the physical endurance to sustain a shooting posture. An expert instructor highlights that non-durable positions require rebuilding after each shot, and uncomfortable, 'pretzel-like' stances lack the necessary durability for prolonged engagements.

This video demonstrates advanced shooting techniques for suppressed rifles, focusing on movement, barricade utilization, and rapid fire. It highlights the performance of Advanced Armament Co. (AAC) suppressors, showcasing their effectiveness in managing gas and reducing sound signature during high-energy drills. The content is presented with an action-oriented and tactical tone, reflecting a high level of expertise from the manufacturer/distributor.

Instruction from Jeff Gurwitch, demonstrating expert-level knowledge of tactical shooting mechanics, focuses on the two core principles of stability: supporting the gun to the ground via a barricade, and supporting the body through bone structure or the barricade. Adhering to this specific order is key to achieving instant stability for improved accuracy.

This basic marksmanship course, led by instructors from GBRS Group, emphasizes a structured approach to skill development. Key takeaways include the critical importance of a proper firearm zero, practicing diverse shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone), and engaging various target sizes. The curriculum logically progresses through drills, incorporating buddy shooting and barricade utilization to build a comprehensive foundation in marksmanship.

This video demonstrates an advanced self-defense technique for surviving an armed robbery. The expert instructor highlights the importance of de-escalation and compliance as a distraction, followed by a rapid defensive counter-draw from a concealed appendix (AIWB) position. The simulation showcases neutralizing a threat at close range using a concealed firearm, likely in a Glock platform, emphasizing the effectiveness of a well-executed draw from a high-retention holster like those from Tenicor.

New concealed carriers often make critical mistakes like choosing inadequate holsters or belts, wearing inappropriate clothing, opting for guns that are too small, and carrying with an empty chamber. Selecting a secure, comfortable holster and a supportive belt are crucial. Clothing should allow for a smooth draw without printing. Prioritizing shootability and capacity over extreme concealability is key, and carrying with a round in the chamber, once training allows, enhances readiness.

This video debunks the myth that appendix carry is inherently unsafe, drawing on 25 years of personal experience. It emphasizes proper technique, particularly during reholstering, and highlights the benefits of appendix carry like accessibility and concealability. The presenter details safe reholstering methods, including using a muzzle wedge and body tilt, and discusses the importance of a strong safety mindset over rote rules.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of the four universal firearms handling rules, stating they are 'written in blood' and not suggestions. It details each rule: always treat guns as loaded, never point at anything you're not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until sights are on target, and be sure of your target and what's beyond it. The content also distinguishes universal rules from range-specific protocols and introduces gun states (secure, ready, on target).
