Magpul - Extended Minute - 059 Getting On Target Fast

This video details a combat rifle reload drill designed to test a shooter's ability to quickly and efficiently replace an empty magazine under pressure. The drill emphasizes building muscle memory for gear placement and performing the reload from various ready positions, culminating in re-acquiring the target for a follow-up shot within a strict time limit.

This video details the 'low ready' rifle drill, emphasizing its foundational role in building muscle memory for all rifle shooting positions. The drill involves starting from a low ready stance, presenting the rifle, manipulating the safety, acquiring sights, and firing a single shot within a strict time limit (1 second). It highlights the importance of understanding sight offset for accurate shooting, especially at close ranges on small targets.

This combat shooting drill, 'Standing Kneeling Prone,' emphasizes transitioning between shooting positions while maintaining situational awareness. It requires 10 rounds total, with two shots fired from standing, kneeling, and prone positions, followed by a return to kneeling and then standing for the final shots. The drill stresses accuracy in the high A-zone and the critical importance of checking your surroundings before repositioning.

This video provides beginner training on defensive shotgun techniques, covering proper loading procedures for the magazine tube and chamber, recoil management methods (pull-pull and push-pull), and transitioning between low and high ready positions. It emphasizes deliberate action, safety checks like the press check, and addresses common mistakes such as 'stabbing' shells into the loading port or short-stroking the action. The instruction is delivered by experienced firearms instructors Kevin Estella and Eric Gellhouse.
