The Grandmaster’s Triangle

This basic marksmanship course, led by instructors from GBRS Group, emphasizes a structured approach to skill development. Key takeaways include the critical importance of a proper firearm zero, practicing diverse shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone), and engaging various target sizes. The curriculum logically progresses through drills, incorporating buddy shooting and barricade utilization to build a comprehensive foundation in marksmanship.

This video, featuring Warrior Poet Society's John Lovell and Lead Instructor Paul Perkerson, debunks the myth that shooting stance doesn't matter. While basic accuracy can be achieved with any stance, the instructors emphasize that for fighting applications, a dynamic, athletic, and stable stance is essential. They highlight the importance of balance, stability, and mobility, advocating for a wider, offset stance that promotes recoil management and readiness for movement, while cautioning against ineffective stances like the 'horse stance'.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of an athletic, mobile, and adaptable stance for tactical shooting. Instructor Rick, demonstrating high authority, explains that a sound stance should allow for instant movement in any direction and facilitate seamless transitions between static and dynamic shooting. The core principle is to avoid a stance that requires a fundamental change to initiate movement, ensuring readiness throughout an engagement.

This video highlights an upcoming EDC pistol training course in Louisville, KY, hosted by Tactical Rifleman at the Louisville Armory. The course, scheduled for March 7-8, focuses on practical skills such as appendix carry, mastering different EDC methods, and utilizing cover garments for concealment. It also covers essential shooting positions, safe drawing techniques, and understanding the physiological impact of high-stress situations like gunfights, emphasizing the fight or flight response. Instruction is provided by experienced professionals.

This video, referencing the USMC Rifle Marksmanship manual (MCRP 3-01A), provides expert instruction on achieving a proper rifle grip. It emphasizes a high, firm pistol grip for superior trigger control and illustrates key elements like trigger finger placement and stock weld using diagrams from the manual. The content is presented by JaredAF, who demonstrates a high level of authority on military marksmanship standards.

This video from Achilles Heel Tactical, presented by a professional firearms instructor, details the critical elements of a dynamic shooting stance. It emphasizes that a stance is not static but requires balance, mobility, and adaptability for effective recoil management and rapid target transitions, especially when utilizing cover. The instruction highlights how proper footwork can significantly improve performance and reduce physical strain.

This video demonstrates an advanced self-defense technique for surviving an armed robbery. The expert instructor highlights the importance of de-escalation and compliance as a distraction, followed by a rapid defensive counter-draw from a concealed appendix (AIWB) position. The simulation showcases neutralizing a threat at close range using a concealed firearm, likely in a Glock platform, emphasizing the effectiveness of a well-executed draw from a high-retention holster like those from Tenicor.

New concealed carriers often make critical mistakes like choosing inadequate holsters or belts, wearing inappropriate clothing, opting for guns that are too small, and carrying with an empty chamber. Selecting a secure, comfortable holster and a supportive belt are crucial. Clothing should allow for a smooth draw without printing. Prioritizing shootability and capacity over extreme concealability is key, and carrying with a round in the chamber, once training allows, enhances readiness.

This video debunks the myth that appendix carry is inherently unsafe, drawing on 25 years of personal experience. It emphasizes proper technique, particularly during reholstering, and highlights the benefits of appendix carry like accessibility and concealability. The presenter details safe reholstering methods, including using a muzzle wedge and body tilt, and discusses the importance of a strong safety mindset over rote rules.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of the four universal firearms handling rules, stating they are 'written in blood' and not suggestions. It details each rule: always treat guns as loaded, never point at anything you're not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until sights are on target, and be sure of your target and what's beyond it. The content also distinguishes universal rules from range-specific protocols and introduces gun states (secure, ready, on target).
