Proper Sling Setup Starts Here

This video showcases the benefits of filming shooting drills in slow motion to better understand firearm dynamics. Instructor John Lovell of Warrior Poet Society demonstrates pistol and rifle engagements, highlighting recoil, brass ejection, and muzzle blast. The content encourages viewers to get out and practice, emphasizing the enjoyment and learning potential of shooting, especially when analyzed through slow-motion footage.

This guide details a tactical rifle grip technique for sustained operations, as explained by John Lovell of Warrior Poet Society. It covers the benefits of an extended grip for muzzle control and speed, but crucially highlights the issue of muscle fatigue during prolonged engagements. The expert instruction emphasizes transitioning to a magazine well grip to mitigate fatigue and maintain aiming stability for tactical longevity.

John Lovell, founder of Warrior Poet Society and former Special Operations, outlines 'The Stronger Boy Way,' a program designed to train boys into men. The program utilizes a framework of skills and rites of passage, where sons earn achievement patches for mastering areas like camping, solo survival, and critical medical training. The initiative aims to foster strong father-son bonds through practical life skills.

This video follows a father and son's trip to the gun range, focusing on introducing the son to safe firearm handling and shooting. It covers essential safety protocols like wearing eye and ear protection, never pointing a firearm in an unsafe direction, and proper trigger finger discipline. The son experiences shooting various firearms, including a lever-action rifle chambered in .38 Special, an AR-15 in .223, a P90, and a P50 in 5.7x28mm, with an emphasis on the importance of suppressors for noise reduction.

This video demonstrates an advanced tactical training drill simulating helicopter egress and close-quarters battle (CQB) scenarios. Expert instruction from Lucas Botkin showcases dynamic movement, target engagement from various platforms (including an elevated position), and proficient use of tactical gear. The drill emphasizes rapid transitions, cover utilization, and accurate shooting under pressure.

John Lovell, demonstrating expert-level knowledge of the AR-15 platform, explains the function of the forward assist. This feature is designed to manually drive the bolt carrier group fully into battery when fouling, debris, or other issues prevent it from seating properly. Lovell compares its utility to backup sights, emphasizing its value as a redundancy for ensuring reliable operation, especially in adverse conditions.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously debunks the myth of Glocks being made of porcelain and undetectable by metal detectors. It references the fictional Glock 7 from Die Hard 2, clarifying that real Glocks are not made of ceramic and are standard firearms. Lovell's high authority as a professional firearms instructor is evident in his clear explanation and proper handling.

This guide outlines a method for introducing new, potentially apprehensive individuals to firearms, as demonstrated by John Lovell. It emphasizes a controlled, safe, and positive first experience, starting with small calibers and instructor-led handling, before progressing to larger platforms. The approach prioritizes building confidence and dispelling fear through expert guidance and adherence to strict safety protocols.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously illustrates that while a shooter might achieve accuracy from an unstable stance, true shooting proficiency requires a stable base for balance and recoil management. Lovell, a former Army Ranger, emphasizes that a proper stance is fundamental, not just for accuracy but for overall control and readiness. The demonstration shows how instability leads to a loss of balance after firing, highlighting the practical importance of a solid stance.

John Lovell, a professional tactical instructor, demonstrates the correct way to utilize a vertical foregrip on an AR-15. He advises against a 'gangster' grip, instead promoting a technique where the foregrip is used as a hand stop to pull the rifle into the shoulder for better recoil control. The guide also covers using the foregrip to brace against obstacles for increased shooting platform stability.
