Your Rifle Stock Is Probably Set Wrong

This expert-level guide, drawing from a Tenicor video, details a critical grip mistake that hinders recoil control. It emphasizes applying the majority of pressure via the support hand into the buttstock, utilizing a 'grip and hang' technique. This method, popularized by Frank Proctor, involves gripping the rail, relaxing the elbow, and letting arm weight provide linear pressure for efficient recoil management and reduced fatigue.

This guide details advanced rifle recoil control techniques as demonstrated by USPSA Grandmaster Mark Smith. Key principles include establishing a consistent rifle connection, proper buttstock placement, head and shoulder engagement, and precise support hand pressures using a 'grip and hang' method. It also covers stance adjustments for mitigating both lateral and vertical recoil, emphasizing a solid connection to the rifle for predictable and durable firing.

This video demonstrates the rapid firing capabilities of an AR-15 style rifle equipped with a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT). The shooter, exhibiting advanced firearm handling skills, showcases sustained rapid fire on an outdoor range, including quick reloads and engaging multiple target types. The demonstration highlights the effectiveness of the FRT for high-volume shooting.

This guide, presented by an expert instructor from Tenicor, details how to optimize a shooting bag for enhanced rifle stability. Key techniques include orienting the bag lengthwise for maximum surface contact and adjusting body position to create a secure, natural connection without forcing the rifle. These methods are crucial for improving accuracy, especially when shooting from improvised positions.

This video explores common challenges faced by first-time shooters, particularly the differences between men and women in initial firearm handling. It highlights that while men might initially overcome poor mechanics with strength, women must focus on mastering proper form and mechanics to achieve proficiency. The instructor emphasizes that once mechanics are mastered, strength becomes less of a determining factor in shooting ability.

Lucas Botkin, an expert firearms instructor, demonstrates a demanding rifle-to-pistol transition and reload drill. The video showcases advanced proficiency in executing rapid sequences of fire and transitions, emphasizing the importance of precision and speed in tactical scenarios. Botkin's performance highlights the need for consistent practice to maintain high-level skills, even after a brief hiatus.

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).
