Trigger Control on RECOILtv Training Tuneups (full episode)

This video emphasizes that there isn't a single 'best' distance for shooting drills. Instead, instructors should set up drills by choosing a specific skill to improve and then configuring the targets and distance to create a challenging scenario for that skill. For instance, to improve trigger control, use a greater distance that highlights errors, while for target transitions, use closer or adjacent targets. The key is to tailor the drill to the concept being practiced and to gradually increase the difficulty as proficiency grows.

This guide, presented by an experienced firearms instructor, outlines a systematic approach to improving shooting skills with limited range time. It emphasizes identifying weaknesses through observation, focused dry-fire practice on specific skills, and strategic live-fire sessions that test those skills. The core principle is to work on one aspect at a time to create meaningful, lasting improvements rather than trying to address multiple issues simultaneously.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of understanding the cause-and-effect relationship in shooting for continuous improvement. Instructor Joel Park, with extensive experience, guides viewers to analyze their actions and sensations during a shot to identify why bullets land where they do. The focus is on developing self-awareness to diagnose errors, whether they stem from physical inputs, mental focus, or external factors, ultimately leading to more effective training and skill development.

This video from Magpul's Buck Doyle's Scoped Carbine Course focuses on practical shooting techniques for carbine platforms. It emphasizes the importance of a bare-minimum gear approach, consistent fundamentals, and adapting to environmental factors like wind. The instruction covers developing a solid shooting platform, making accurate wind calls, and improving speed and accuracy through drills and peer feedback, drawing on the instructor's experience as a reconnaissance Marine.

This video from Joel Park discusses the traits that distinguish good shooters, emphasizing that being 'too smart' can be detrimental. Instead, he advocates for simplifying thought processes, focusing on concepts and patterns rather than excessive detail. Key traits highlighted include strong hand-eye coordination, the ability to learn quickly, and crucially, discipline combined with emotional control. Park stresses the importance of objective self-assessment, treating one's own shooting as if observing a student, and resisting the urge to make excuses or rush through fundamentals.

This video discusses the approach of increasing shooting speed in competitive shooting. The instructor emphasizes that simply shooting as fast as possible without understanding the mechanics can lead to inaccuracy and a lack of learning. Instead, shooters should aim for a pace that is uncomfortable but still allows them to articulate what happened with each shot, enabling them to identify and correct errors. This method of 'speed with articulation' is presented as a more productive training strategy than simply 'going fast' for the sake of it, especially in competitive environments where consistency is key.

This guide details the technique for firing the Micro Uzi in full-auto, as demonstrated by Dave Merrill and Dave Rhoden on RECOILtv. It emphasizes proper grip, stock usage, and recoil management due to the firearm's high cyclic rate (1250 RPM). The instruction highlights the effectiveness of the compensator ports in controlling muzzle rise during intense firing sequences.

This entry details the extensive career of Billy Waugh, a legendary figure in US special operations and intelligence. It covers his early life, military service in Korea and Vietnam with Special Forces and SOG, pioneering HALO jump techniques, and advanced intelligence gathering operations in Africa. Waugh's expertise in clandestine surveillance, tracking high-value targets like Carlos the Jackal and Osama bin Laden, and utilizing night operations in challenging environments is highlighted.

This video provides an expert-level look inside a real Ukrainian arms room in 2024, showcasing a diverse array of weaponry from Soviet-era relics to modern Western platforms. Host Iain Harrison, RECOIL's editor, details the logistical shift towards NATO standards and highlights specific weapon systems in use by Ukrainian forces in Eastern Ukraine. The entry emphasizes the practical application and integration of various firearms and munitions in a high-intensity conflict zone.

This guide details the field stripping and basic operation of the PKM machine gun, as demonstrated by Iain Harrison of RECOILtv. It covers disassembly steps including barrel and bolt carrier group removal, as well as loading and unloading procedures. Harrison, an expert with high authority, highlights the PKM's Soviet construction and unique feeding mechanism compared to Western designs.
