Depends on the stock. Fiberglass made up the bulk of our battalions 200 rifles. We had wooden 1903 Springfields with lead filled barrels for drill meets or ceremonies. Cracked a few in my days. The triple flip catching behind my back while dropping to a knee took some practice. Did they impose rules for the competition? We use to toss that rifle backwards from the head of the line to the back. If you missed someone was bleeding usually.
I’m a little late to the comments lol but as an Alumni of the Silver Eagles I can tell you all this. We broke a lot of rifles (more than I would like to remember lol) no the rifles don’t weigh 2 pounds, they’re m1903 replicas made by daisy. We have actually broke the fiberglass stocks and shattered the receivers. We would practice for hours and hours until we got it right, and then one more time after that just because. If you didn’t go home after practice bruised or tired, you didn’t practice hard enough. We were definitely an outstanding team and i see that they still are. Very proud of these boys and what they do! Good job boys! EOA
@@lookismlover6417 Why did you send that message to me? "That's not funny at all." I have nothing short of respect and admiration for John Jay Silver Eagles and his drill team. Watch it again. I'm number 10 in the comments. I believe you were number 2. Sober up ok?
@@LouieNeirangl they dont do that much hard stuff, its very boring to watch. This drill requires a LOT of precision and effort. Whereas marine silent drill team is silent and less flamboyant but still Impressive
I saw these guys but the 2019 team, so much intensity and sharpness, I now graduated and hope my team makes it to the masters level instead of the challenge level.
I was actually apart of the Silver Eagles that year 2017 but only performed in color guard since during practice I injured my ankle but after that year I moved to Hawaii to go to Kapolei high school and I had a girlfriend at the time at Waianae high school soo for the most part I’ve been to tons of competitions on the island and I can say this about Hawaiian drill there is a ton of power and speed and it’s really impressive but as an Silver Eagle I learned we craved competition we craved people to try to beat us cuz we try harder “as u see in those guys faces the anger and fight” so it was a craving for winning which made us soo good and not only that but I can say the amount of time I was with them they r still family to me to this day and that was the key to everything was being a family and knowing that I had their backs and they had mine EOA
@@nc9869 I was apart of reg during nationals as well and would have done ex but because of my ankle I couldn’t do it but there was something about color guard that I wasn’t gonna let go of, see there is something about being in color guard honoring the colors our coach said to us before we went out whatever happens happens but remember you are carrying the nations colors and idk that just made it so much more honorable to me plus I had my eyes set on this all female armed team from New York which we had trouble beating in the pass because the r insanely sharp and amazing but I had that drive to win and beat them and I think our instructor saw that side of me
sorry m8 Drill rifles do not weigh 12-13 lbs. Both Daisy and DrillAmerica (Glendale) weigh 8.6 lbs. Fully demilitarized weapons weigh a little closer to 9 lbs.
@@americandrillreport oh shoot, sorry dude you are right, they added weight to the ones we practice with in order to add a little more difficulty, help with discipline, and speed up muscle memory. The drill comp rifles that are much cleaner and well kept are the ones that weigh 8.6 pounds, sorry for the confusion.
Brings back soo much memories!! I can feel the energy!!💯💪🏽🔥 Great Work John Jay!! 👏Keep passing the torch !! We went toe to toe ‘07 & ‘08 FKLHS Black Knights AE Commander , salute 🫡 to a stellar performance!! #USAF
I wonder how often they have to replace those rifle butts...
Sorry m8 they might be metal instead of rubber so they dont have to, thats what my school does

As an ex John Jay Alum 2008. EOA means Eagles for Life@@nc9869

I cant imagine how much my hands would hurt after this 😂❤
Oh god, i was in a Drill Comp in my 4th year of AFJROTC and during the competition i had the most anxiety ive ever had in my life.......we won 3rd...
I love to watch drills of all forces. But in my 54 years of life, I've never seen anything so impressive!
I guess you’ve never seen a Marine silent drill platoon
Ya I seen a bunch of dancing but nothing that really made me go WOW.
@@LouieNeirangl they dont do that much hard stuff, its very boring to watch. This drill requires a LOT of precision and effort. Whereas marine silent drill team is silent and less flamboyant but still

Sounds even better without the metal plates
Did anyone else notice the bolt of the commanders rifle was open
@Michael Ma Gill I guess but ive beaten the shit of my rifle and it never opened

The absolute CHADS of drill!
I did armed exhibition in high school, but we were never anywhere NEAR these guys!
2007-2010
Farrington Highschool, Hawaii drill team would’ve beat them for sure
The Silver Eagles are the best in the United States till today!

Very well done, incredibly executed, very sharp, but 5 bucks says those rifles wieghed in around 2 lbs.
Maybe, they look an awful like the ones we use tho, ours are roughly 12-13 pounds.
P Minerv Thes rifles are full Daisy Replica Drill Rifles, which weigh the full 8.6 lbs. Nationals regulation for full weight rifles is 8-9 lbs.
sorry m8 Drill rifles do not weigh 12-13 lbs. Both Daisy and DrillAmerica (Glendale) weigh 8.6 lbs. Fully demilitarized weapons weigh a little closer to 9 lbs.

This that beat on the next Kendrick Lamar album?
How are your guys rifles not bouncing when you bang the butt off the ground?
The butt of that rifle must be under so much stress
How in the name of God came they remember all of that?
Bring back the white shirts.

John Jay makes me mad bc they beat us ever year, prolly bc this year we had a guy drop in regs -_-
