Sling Setup & 2 Reasons IT MATTERS

This expert-level guide from Kyle Lamb of Viking Tactics demonstrates how to effectively zero an AR-15 style rifle without relying solely on dialing the scope for every shot. It covers essential techniques like stable prone shooting, understanding height over bore, and utilizing ballistic data for scope adjustments at various distances. The instruction emphasizes the importance of a solid zero for competitive shooting divisions.

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.

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 video features expert AR-15 training from Kyle Lamb, a retired SGM and special operations veteran. The drill focuses on rapid, accurate engagement of multiple targets, emphasizing critical zones like the pelvis when facing threats with body armor. Lamb provides detailed feedback on shooter performance, including cadence control and aggressive target transitions.

This video, presented by Colonel Harold Cabunoc of the Philippine Army, highlights the importance of both consistent practice and proper nutrition for shooting proficiency. It demonstrates precision shooting with an AR-15 and a Glock-style pistol, while also revealing a 'secret recipe' for champions: consuming local Filipino foods like Ginamos, Katuray, and Native Chicken to boost eyesight and focus.

This video debunks the myth that Glocks are made of porcelain and can bypass metal detectors, referencing a fictional 'Glock 7' from Die Hard 2. It highlights the actual construction of Glocks, showcasing models like the Glock 19 and 17. The content emphasizes practical firearm knowledge and responsible ownership.

This video demonstrates a controlled, low-stress introduction to firearms for an 'anti-gunner' named Hannah. John Lovell prioritizes a positive experience by handling weapon manipulations and starting with a suppressed .22 pistol before progressing to a 5.56 AR-15. The session successfully shifted Hannah's perception from fear to exhilaration, highlighting the importance of proper instruction for new shooters.

This video challenges the notion that shooting stance is irrelevant, demonstrating that while static accuracy might be achievable with poor form, stability and recoil management are crucial for practical application. John Lovell highlights how a compromised stance leads to instability and potential falls, emphasizing its importance in real-world scenarios. The content underscores that fundamental techniques are vital for effective firearms handling.

Avoid gripping vertical foregrips like a handle; instead, use your back fingers on the grip and your palm on the rail to pull the rifle into your shoulder for better recoil control. This technique also allows for effective bracing against obstacles to create a stable shooting platform, enabling faster target transitions.
