Staying active - drill for correct body position when shooting

This drill, adapted from the pistol El Prez, tests a shooter's ability to rapidly switch rifle shoulders for engagement, simulating breaking cover in CQB scenarios. It emphasizes muscle memory for smooth transitions under time and accuracy constraints, requiring all 12 shots to be hits within 9 seconds at 7 meters.

This video demonstrates the high ready rifle presentation technique, emphasizing its speed and muzzle awareness compared to low ready. The instructor highlights the importance of tucking the stock under the shoulder, presenting the rifle by 'punching' it forward, and snapping it back into the shoulder with positive tension for recoil management. It's noted that this position requires a different manipulation than low ready and is beneficial for maintaining muzzle discipline, though its use has decreased in some tactical circles.

This video demonstrates a 'Turning Drill' often used in military firearms training, specifically by Green Berets. The drill emphasizes efficient movement and target engagement based on the direction of turn. A key takeaway is the importance of performing a tactical or slide-lock reload to ensure the firearm is ready for immediate follow-up actions, reinforcing the habit of ending a drill with a full magazine.

This video demonstrates a dynamic shooting drill focused on developing a stable, aggressive stance and effective movement. The instructor emphasizes maintaining a wide base with bent knees, separating upper body shooting actions from lower body locomotion, and returning to a ready stance after movement. The drill aims to ingrain positive habits for shooting while moving, highlighting that even subtle body shifts can be beneficial.

This video demonstrates a 'Bill Drill' using the Fusion XP Comp pistol, showcasing advanced shooting techniques. The instructor, exhibiting experienced authority, focuses on rapid target engagement, efficient reloads, and recoil control. Key takeaways include maintaining accuracy during high-stress drills and utilizing a shot timer for performance analysis.

This drill, demonstrated by Ben Stoeger, focuses on improving target acquisition and shooting while moving by using vision barriers (barrels) to obscure targets. The core principle is to visually hunt for targets and react to their appearance, rather than fixating on the sight. Maintaining consistent shooting mechanics and avoiding over-confirmation of the sight picture are key to success.

This video demonstrates an advanced self-defense technique for surviving an armed robbery. An expert instructor showcases how to de-escalate, comply to create a distraction, and execute a rapid concealed draw from an Appendix (AIWB) position to neutralize the threat. The demonstration highlights weapon retention and close-quarters combat proficiency.

This guide, presented by Jeff from Tenicor, outlines five common mistakes new concealed carriers make. It emphasizes choosing appropriate holsters and belts, selecting suitable clothing, finding a balance between firearm size and shootability, and carrying with a round in the chamber. The advice focuses on practical application and safety for everyday carry.

This guide details safe reholstering techniques for appendix carry, emphasizing visual control and body positioning to prevent self-injury. Expert Jeff from Tenicor, with over 25 years of daily carry experience, demonstrates the 'muzzle wedge' method, crucial for appendix inside-the-waistband (AIWB) holsters. The advice is geared towards intermediate carriers looking to refine their safety protocols.

This guide outlines the four universal firearms handling rules, emphasizing their critical importance as they are 'written in blood' due to past tragedies. The rules are: 1. All guns are always loaded. 2. Never point a gun at anything you're not willing to shoot or destroy. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target. 4. Be sure of your target and what's behind and beyond it. The video, presented with authoritative instruction from a professional instructor, also touches on the 'Be Polite' rule and the distinction between universal safety rules and specific range protocols.
