Stop Making Excuses

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 a fundamental doorway slicing technique for tactical entry. The instructor emphasizes a slow, deliberate approach, focusing on the opposite corner before initiating a 'slice' across the opening. The drill is designed to build speed and control through repetition, ensuring proper visual scanning of the doorway.

This video from Firearms Training By John G. Johnson breaks down shooter accuracy into three levels: Level 1 (Survivor), Level 2 (Inconsistent), and Level 3 (Accurate). John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, emphasizes that understanding your current level is crucial for improvement. He introduces the HTS (Handgun Training System) as a method to progress from Level 1 to Level 3, focusing on consistent grip, stance, sight picture, and trigger control.

This video critiques the advice of a social media personality regarding point shooting with red dot sights. The instructor emphasizes that effective red dot shooting involves focusing on the target, bringing the gun to the eyeline, and confirming sight alignment, even at close distances.

This video emphasizes the significant utility of the .22 LR rifle, particularly for its cost-effectiveness and low recoil, making it ideal for consistent practice, teaching new shooters, and small game hunting. The instructor highlights how the .22 LR allows for more trigger time, enabling shooters to focus on fundamental skills like trigger control, sight alignment, and follow-through without the financial burden or physical discomfort associated with centerfire ammunition. It's presented as a practical tool for skill development and everyday problem-solving.

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 guide details the advanced 'ghost loading' technique for the Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun, as demonstrated by Clint Morgan.

This video showcases a tactical training drill focused on night vision operations. It highlights the importance of proper training, aggressive movement, and effective use of night vision devices and optics for engaging targets in low-light conditions. The drill emphasizes weapon manipulation, target transitions, and passive aiming techniques, demonstrating advanced tactical proficiency.

Clint Morgan, an authoritative voice in firearms, outlines the top 5 guns for an apocalypse scenario, prioritizing reliability, parts availability, and dual-use for defense and hunting. The list includes the Glock 19, Remington 700 Alpha 1 Hunter, Ruger 10/22, Remington 870, and the AR-15 platform, emphasizing practical considerations for survival.
