Spartan soldiers fought until they were 60. Some longer than that. This day and age people use their age as an excuse for not exercising, or why they don't do things any more. In reality, if you were lifting weights (as an example) you would increase your bone density, if we did it our whole life, old people these days wouldn't be as brittle and slow.
@@mainnerd2222 Not many people today are full time Warriors like the Spartans were. While I agree that daily exercise would be beneficial, it is not the same as doing battle.
Gotta get them jabs in at the Navy or they'd think Carl and the gang don't like 'em anymore. You know the saying, if they're not bustin your balls a little bit; they don't like you.
Couple notes and a couple of answers... Make sure you read the pull down notes with each video, I have some stuff there for each video with training points and things to look for as you watch and shoot. We add content there to keep the videos short and clean. Weapons: Glock 17. Rifle is a Gemtech Integra upper (10.5” 5.56 integrally suppressed.) Rifle sling is the V-Tac with pad. Pants: made by Kryptek in Highlander.
All excellent drills, really shows you if you've mastered trigger control or not, pretty quickly. Just goes to show you don't have to spend a ton of money on ammo to get repetition / proficiency built up. The 1/reload/1 is a great one to do this. Nice video guys, keep up the good work!
Very good. I think you just sold me on taking one of your courses. I'll "G2" the subject material by tuning into your U tube presentations on practical/combat shooting. I still remember being taught the old Army "high port" position so you could either bayonet, butt stroke or shoot anyone who surprised you at close combat range. Very informative and educational. Thank you very much
Great series of drills. I noticed during the check drill, coach holstered the pistol before he checked the malfunction condition of the carbine. You and Zee really drove that one home to me, keep the pistol up until you know how to get the rifle back in the fight. This is great stuff. Love the variations of El pres. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Curt, you are correct, a Tactically correct Check Drill would incorporate a visual attempt to assess the rifle with the handgun still at the ready. This drill is an assessment of the mechanics of the process itself. If you where to include the visual check in a timed drill you would reinforce a glance that would be too short in order to make time on the Qual.
I want to say thank you for sharing demonstrations like this and allowing people to practice in their backyard.......all this could coast people plenty of money to acquire and you sir have taken it a step above the rest awesome.
Great video guys. These time standards seem fair to some when you're slick. I bet they are far more challenging when you have full kit on including helmet and assault pack...not to mention then doing it in low light with weapon lights and THEN with night vision!
David, great to hear you are still training at it. I actually spent the whole day out the range with a great bunch of fellow instructors. We all shared drills, and shot drills, and had a great training experience. I learn every day. TR
Thank you for the breakdown. Always wondered how the high-speeds qual compared to the rest of us. Now I know. Great content, as always. I enjoy having new challenges to bring to the range. Thanks guys. Scouts Out.
Internet ninjas are gonna all be hyperventilating with this info. Itll be too much for them to handle. 😁 Thanks for the drills. Great stuff to practice.
This helps out a ton when you cant go out and run around. Being able to go to a range outside where you have to stay in one place, these are some drills that can be more than beneficial. Im going to grab some friends and try some of these out. Oh and of course im gonna need some multicam, because it doesnt matter if you dont look cool right ;)
Always practice under stress. However, these are cold drills. They are not allowed to warm up before doing these. Get off the truck, load and make ready, today do CTEs 3,6, and 10. Different every time. The point is that the operator needs to be able to throw the switch 24/7.
These will be neat to do this weekend. Good content Karl, I will run these at maximum distance for most difficulty. I may even turn it into a stress shoot and do Man Makers in between drills while my GF preps my mags for me. I'll need to it twice, once with an RDS and another using just iron sights on the rifle. Keep it coming, lead spitting meat heads like me eat this stuff up! I also just ordered my T-shirt!
Thanks for the support. Our operators run these CTEs COLD. By that I mean that they run them as soon as they get out to the range... no warm up. Master these and then add dummy rounds to mess yourself up, so you are prepared for the unexpected. Thanks for watching, TR
Awesome! This will definitely help me get my wife's weapon handling/ manipulation down as well as my own. Always need new drills and a game plans for the range. Wasting ammo isnt training. Its just wasting hard earned money.
As it should be. We have had people bitch that I stand on the wrong side during ElPres. Rather, understand that we teach combat shooting and one must be prepared to have people to both/all sides during combat. Not, do not intentionally sacrifice Safety, but we need to train people for a 360 degree range fan. That is real life and not just a square flat range. Thanks for watching, TR
Of course. But as a rangemaster I like to run my guys through new drills and evals all the time. If I relied only on my department standards, I’d have bored and poorly trained officers working the mean streets.
@E S Just because a LEO can grow a beard, afford to buy "Cool Guy" gear and copy what they see on youtube doesn't make them SOF capable. The training and standards developed by SOF professionals come from years of lessons learned on the "Battlefield" to ensure their tactical and technical superiority.
why is the coach looking at his magazines and looking at the magazine when he is doing a mag change instead of looking at the target while doing a mag change
As always, great video guys. I have a question. Why does he tuck the stock under his arm when in the high ready and during reloads? When I was in the service 05-11, and trained by USSF. The high ready was stock in shoulder pocket with the rifle angled down without the barrel going below the chest line, head looking straight at target, trigger finger on mag well, and rifle on safe. When time to engage, bring rifle up, place cheek on stock with proper sight alignment, switch to fire, finger on trigger, and fire. At a fast speed of course. When reloading, keep stock in shoulder pocket, cheek on stock with rifle aimed straight at the target, reload, then continue engaging target. Keeping the rifle up meant faster engagement on target after reload. I'm just asking, I don't know. Have times changed? I feel tucking the stock under the shoulder is slower than how I learned and do it.
Some units train to keep it out on target, but most bring it back into their “work space” to deal with reloads and malfunctions. While it is easy to keep it up on the flat range, real life situations have prompted most of us to bring it in/down to work through issues. Either is fine for certain situations. Learn them both, then run what works best for you. Thanks for watching,TR
being a bit slower is not a bad thing, sometimes moving a little slower makes you safer, and when you are more sure you are faster you move, I think it is more based on finding your time, within the established limits, your precision and your mechanics to achieve the objectives. the more coordinated you have your mechanics, the more fluid you will go
Nothing wrong with that. We have another video that has all the test drills from the computerized Roger's Combat Pistol Course. The video was made specifically for dryfiring. Give it a try. TR
Your optic in a normal mount is 2.6” above the bore. Aim 2.6” high. If you are zeroing at 50/200 which is pretty standard, it will half that high at 25 yards. Up close that 2.5 inches really matters until you learn to automatically compensate for it.
thanks I caught that after posting. Great drills been doing them for a few weeks now. Haven't done El Pres yet but I hope to do it with out the turn next week. I mime the drills at the gym or in my office. Next week I am going to try this with a triple retention holster for kicks.
I've never done anything like this b4 last week. I downloaded a timer for my android and could put a round at 25 yards in .98 was my fastest for 1 round, 1.3 something for 2 on 2 different targets... I'm stoked to see I'm on par...
I think this is my favorite TR video..👍🏻 Chad's "5 shot" drill is a close 2nd though!🤣🤣😪😪.....and wouldn't ya know it...its the second video in the que!🤣🤣
Fun drills. My internet ninja has one small comment...the last drill, coach pivoted toward you...stepping rearward. His muzzle was down so you weren't in any danger but it would be scary seeing a crazy old man turning toward me with an AR. LoL Also a Navy SEAL once said to step toward the known another words he would have pivoted away from you so if there was a hole in ground you will avoid it cause you will see it during your turn. Also if there is a threat near by, turning that way keeps your secondary away from grab. Just an internet ninja thought. LoL
Mr. Karl, thank you for putting out these great quality videos! I want to run these drills, however, my local gun range is pistol only and the one that allows rifles is nearly an hour away and only allows rifles to be shot from the bench. Are there modified CTEs that you could recommend under these restrictions?
Great video, great drills. Just 1 comment/question/clarification, for "rifle switching shoulder" drill, rifle should be rendered safe during the shoulder switch, right? As one is "not" on target during the transition......
"Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young". Coach rocks!
Isn't that the truth. lol
Hell ya! That's the truth ! Ooh rah !

Sage advice!
Coach proves you don't have to be lightning fast to be effective. Well done, learned something today.
“Delta does this drill a little further back and a little faster. SEALs do it a little closer and a little slower.” A funny dig at SEALs. 🤣😂🤣😂
Only wish I could shoot as well as any of these folks....still impressive
Gotta get them jabs in at the Navy or they'd think Carl and the gang don't like 'em anymore. You know the saying, if they're not bustin your balls a little bit; they don't like you.
Makes me wonder what the Delta time standards and distance are
25 yards. ... Wild guess.
Well he’s 50 years old already I think younger seals can do it much faster and far away
That 30rd dump/mag change plus 1 is gnarly. Those circles are tight.
U have to learn from the old guys to get to be an old guy. Great shooting

Coach I need to swing down and some training with you.
What ear plugs are you using?
Great runs coach!
Low-key flexin' on the SEALs.
Karl's pants are in the high ready position
Mike Jones haha
🤣😂🤣
I know this video is older than my daughter but THIS is a standard with rounds on target and time to see where you stand. I love it.

I'm 60 years old, not a pro, just want to be ready to protect my family and my community.
In your words , I'm not too shabby for a old man.
Thank you

The Coach -- great points, my friend! I appreciate the clarification. Really awesome series of drills.
I just watched this video. The Coach was awesome, and made that CTE look easy. Extremely well done.
Coach is Awesome
The notes from Coach in the video description made this video. Awesome content!
The Coach is right - it is all about the fundamentals. Front sight on target, smooth trigger squeeze and don't over think it !
Would enjoy seeing how fast a tier 1 guy can do these drills.
I want to say thank you for sharing demonstrations like this and allowing people to practice in their backyard.......all this could coast people plenty of money to acquire and you sir have taken it a step above the rest awesome.
Excellent video, I wanted to write up a training plan for myself and these task are perfect material for my goals.
G-Day, Karl, outstanding training video. I'm a little older than the coach but am always learning, cheers mate.
This is giving me flashbacks to the pro training I took years ago. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video guys. These time standards seem fair to some when you're slick. I bet they are far more challenging when you have full kit on including helmet and assault pack...not to mention then doing it in low light with weapon lights and THEN with night vision!
Great drill, great practice. We use this drill however we stand back side to the shooter during their spin. Thank you for the video.
Nice touch. Thanks for watching, TR
Karl that's your best video yet. VERY useful content. Thanks
Great video!! Thanks to coach and yourself for providing invaluable training aid!
Thanks for watching, TR

CTEs are done in full kit. Great video.
Thanks for watching, TR
Hey thanks to all involved for posting these videos.
Beautiful... Brand new video everyday. Now thats loving your work. Echo 1 9er... You are Clear to Engage
Great video as usual. Let’s step it up a notch. Do these CTEs on a rocking ship at sea 😎
Internet ninjas are gonna all be hyperventilating with this info. Itll be too much for them to handle. 😁
Thanks for the drills. Great stuff to practice.
I'd call them millennials since they don't even know the difference between semi-auto and full auto firearms.
This helps out a ton when you cant go out and run around. Being able to go to a range outside where you have to stay in one place, these are some drills that can be more than beneficial. Im going to grab some friends and try some of these out. Oh and of course im gonna need some multicam, because it doesnt matter if you dont look cool right ;)
This was awesome training. Thanks fire sharing the times now I can set my standards
A ll these drills should be done under stress conditions (after doing some fast push ups, jumping, running or even boxing a little bit).
Always practice under stress. However, these are cold drills. They are not allowed to warm up before doing these. Get off the truck, load and make ready, today do CTEs 3,6, and 10. Different every time. The point is that the operator needs to be able to throw the switch 24/7.
I'm heading to the range with a few guys tomorrow. We are probably going to be using these drills in our training.
Excellent video. I really appreciate what y'all do. Thanks.
Thanks for serting up this video. I want to get good at these drills because i try to hold myself to a high standard.
Military activity without tactical g shock looks so empty.
Nice drills. Thanks for sharing this. Good job from coach and Karl 👍
Fantastic video fellas! Can't wait to get out and practice these drills. Good shooting coach!
Ditto
would love to see more of these, especially for the rifle!
J, if you go look in our video archive, you’ll see we have over a dozen of these videos there. Enjoy. TR

When are we expecting the offensive contact drill's..
Awesome stuff. Be nice to incorporate some difference in training at the range.
I love the shade he threw at the SEALs lmao
Nice job ! Learned a little. Good drills to practice

Great skills drills video, thanks. I can incorporate some of this into my training.
Glad you liked it. I hope these drills help you out.
Love you dedication to the craft
Thanks for watching, TR
What a beast 50 years old delta force fast and accurate
Neither of us were ever in Delta
Karl, thanks for this video series...!!!
Great drills. Great training.
Glad you like them!
Nicely done!
Coach had great muzzle discipline in the R/P El Prez!
He turned toward Carl, but his muzzle never came up, so it was safely executed

If I had to go to war again, I'd want to go with old guys like these two... 👍
Will have to try these. Looks like fun.
The most realistic part of the training is the timer in the face,,love it! Great video and digging the Vietnam era pants bro!!
Excellent shit. I’m going to run the officers in my department through this next range day.
E S! 😎👍
Doesn't your department follow a standard other than utube training videos?
Of course. But as a rangemaster I like to run my guys through new drills and evals all the time. If I relied only on my department standards, I’d have bored and poorly trained officers working the mean streets.

Can we see the targets when u are shooting please ???
why is the coach looking at his magazines and looking at the magazine when he is doing a mag change instead of looking at the target while doing a mag change
Eyes downrange, you right. Think its cause its more of a shooting drill but you right, train as you fight
Because there's nothing wrong with peeking down at the problem, in this case being an empty gun and fixing it.
Karl the savage with the beaks haha And Coach took it like a champ, Dished it out just as good
Coach is a great instructor. I learn a lot from him every time we hang out.
@ The Coach- Good shooting Coach. Don't let Texas down....

Hey coach you are very good and accurate thank you for your presentation and very much enjoyed this.🕶
Hey Karl who you calling old? great vid once again brother. some good stuff. ty again.
I think we are both 51. So, I can call Coach "Old." If I didn't love him, I wouldn't mess with him. TR
Actual knowledge instead of made-up nonsense and 'opinion'. Is this still the internet?
Good content thank you sir.
Thank you going to set that up in my backyard this week
being a bit slower is not a bad thing, sometimes moving a little slower makes you safer, and when you are more sure you are faster you move, I think it is more based on finding your time, within the established limits, your precision and your mechanics to achieve the objectives.
the more coordinated you have your mechanics, the more fluid you will go
Anyone know what holsters those are? Id like to get one for the range.
I don't have much ammo to spare or a shot timer so I just was trying to race the guy in video when I heard the beep in dry fire drills.
Nothing wrong with that. We have another video that has all the test drills from the computerized Roger's Combat Pistol Course. The video was made specifically for dryfiring. Give it a try. TR
@@TacticalRifleman will do thank you for the great content
Great job Coach.
Appreciate it!
Hey brother where you been
What size circle? Can you do this with a a zone on silhouette
We only score the top half of the chest a-zone as a hit if those are the only targets you have
What's the best way to deal with the optic offset? I'm a novice and I'm not sure what it is.
Your optic in a normal mount is 2.6” above the bore. Aim 2.6” high.
If you are zeroing at 50/200 which is pretty standard, it will half that high at 25 yards. Up close that 2.5 inches really matters until you learn to automatically compensate for it.
Size of target? This is a great video can't wait to give them a go.
6". Coach has it in the notes.
thanks I caught that after posting. Great drills been doing them for a few weeks now. Haven't done El Pres yet but I hope to do it with out the turn next week. I mime the drills at the gym or in my office. Next week I am going to try this with a triple retention holster for kicks.
I know he's going really fast but it looks slow on video until you hear the time 8 seconds dang
I've never done anything like this b4 last week. I downloaded a timer for my android and could put a round at 25 yards in .98 was my fastest for 1 round, 1.3 something for 2 on 2 different targets... I'm stoked to see I'm on par...
That's good shooting. Try all the CTEs and try to stay well rounded in your shooting skills. Thanks for watching, TR
Karl! You got some big website issues for ordering t-shirts! Trying to order one and can't!
Sorry Brother, I’ll check on it Monday
Did you ever do the break down videos? I can't find them.
We did a separate video for every one of these... they came out same week as this one. You can find them in our video archive. TR
I think this is my favorite TR video..👍🏻 Chad's "5 shot" drill is a close 2nd though!🤣🤣😪😪.....and wouldn't ya know it...its the second video in the que!🤣🤣
