TALK THROUGH THE DRILL | Tactical RIfleman

This video demonstrates the 'recon by fire' technique for engaging steel targets in a dark forest environment at the Moons Out 2026 event. The instructor, exhibiting advanced tactical knowledge, highlights the challenges of low-light target acquisition and the importance of audible feedback from steel targets. The guide emphasizes compensating for 'hide-over-bore' issues, a critical skill for accurate engagement in varied terrain.

This expert-level guide from Tactical Hyve emphasizes that civilian Close Quarters Battle (CQB) training is highly dangerous and requires a significant commitment. Instructors Dorr, Johnnie, and Matt stress that foundational shooting skills and weapon manipulation must be mastered before attempting CQB. They caution against 'LARPing' on social media and highlight the importance of understanding CQB principles, teamwork, and consistent, dedicated practice with a reliable group.

This video provides an expert-level guide on optimizing left-hand grip for superior recoil control, as demonstrated by an experienced instructor. It introduces a practical drill to isolate and enhance the left hand's role in managing firearm movement during live fire, emphasizing a loose right-hand grip to facilitate a faster trigger pull. The instruction highlights how effective left-hand engagement can significantly reduce felt recoil and improve shooting efficiency.

GBRS Group employs a 'Knowledge Transfer Session' methodology focused on consistent, structured daily routines that integrate fitness, group meals, and intensive range blocks. This approach, developed from observing deficiencies in military and civilian training, emphasizes high repetition and predictable learning cycles to build foundational skills and confidence. The cadre, comprised of Tier 1 operators, provides expert instruction across various courses, from introductory firearm ownership to advanced marksmanship and specialty modules.

This expert-level guide from Achilles Heel Tactical debunks common misconceptions about firearms training. It emphasizes the critical difference between uncomfortable, growth-oriented training and counterproductive, uncontrolled shooting. The core principle is to find a balance where shooters push their limits, make identifiable mistakes, and learn to correct them for genuine skill enhancement, rather than simply reinforcing current abilities.

This instructional video from Shortshot Tony focuses on improving shooting accuracy while in motion. The core technique involves maintaining a stable center of gravity by bending the knees and adopting a 'robotic' movement, which minimizes bounce and aids in target acquisition. The instructor emphasizes avoiding common mistakes like leaning forward.

In close-quarters combat, drawing a pistol can be dangerous as an opponent can easily grab the firearm. A tactical knife offers a safer alternative, allowing the user to create space by targeting vital areas like the carotid artery or kidneys. This space allows for a safe transition back to a firearm. The video demonstrates this strategy using a Glock pistol and a fixed-blade knife.

This video details crucial footwork techniques for Navy SEALs during Close Quarters Combat (CQC). It emphasizes 'economy of motion' and the 'long step' technique for balanced entry into corner-fed rooms, ensuring immediate engagement capability. Proper footwork prevents exposing vulnerable side plates and maintains a stable shooting platform.

This video demonstrates a clever modification of standard military cloth bandoliers to increase their magazine capacity. By releasing a hidden white string, the pockets expand, allowing them to hold one or even two 5.56mm magazines each. Special Forces operators pack these expanded bandoliers with other essentials for rapid emergency resupply in the field.

This ballistic gel test compares 9mm Barnes TAC-XPD and .45 ACP Cor-Bon Pow'RBall. The 9mm achieved deeper penetration (13-14 inches) with consistent expansion, while the .45 ACP created a larger wound cavity and significant energy transfer but slightly less penetration. The Cor-Bon Pow'RBall's design enhances feeding reliability in 1911 platforms.
