How to zero with EOTech | Shooting Techniques | Tactical Rifleman

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 the rapid firing capabilities of an AR-15 style rifle equipped with a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT). The shooter, exhibiting advanced firearm handling skills, showcases sustained rapid fire on an outdoor range, including quick reloads and engaging multiple target types. The demonstration highlights the effectiveness of the FRT for high-volume shooting.

This guide details the process of zeroing a firearm's optic, emphasizing a consistent three-shot group method for adjustments. It highlights the importance of understanding that adjustments are made on the optic itself, not a magnifier. The instruction comes from an experienced instructor at Gun For Hire Range, offering practical tips for precision.

This guide details a practical zeroing and grouping session for a custom H&K MP5 build. It demonstrates the process of making optic adjustments based on observed shot groups, including manual clicks for elevation and windage. The session emphasizes confirming zero under rapid fire conditions, showcasing an experienced shooter's approach to firearm setup and accuracy.

This video demonstrates a 'cold start' shooting drill designed to assess proficiency under simulated stress. Instructor Lucas Botkin, despite a recent knee injury, showcases a drill involving rapid fire at multiple distances with both pistol and rifle. The drill emphasizes accuracy, recoil management, and weapon manipulation, concluding with an analysis of target hits to gauge performance.

This expert-level guide, presented by former Tier 1 Operators from GBRS Group, details the critical technique of hip rotation for rapid and accurate shooting transitions. The instruction emphasizes maintaining hip alignment with the target, rather than just upper body twisting, to ensure a solid foundation and consistent shot engagement. This method is demonstrated with an AR-15 rifle, highlighting proficiency in multi-directional target acquisition.

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.
