100% good stuff. I used to mag dump into trash (I might still do that once or twice for entertainment value) but we got a timer and have been doing movement, smaller targets, longer range, etc. Better bang for your buck for sure. Thanks Reid! Always a treat to see you on the range!
@@andershilmo1866 How does a timer change the way that you train? I have been seriously thinking on buying a shot timer and kicking it back and forth in my head but I don't want to spend $100 to $125 on something that will eventually lay around and collect dust. I had an automatic and great grip with my pistol but 5 months ago I had surgery on my support hand pinky finger that was locked straight out at 90 degrees from Dupuytrens disease. My pinky finger is straight now and functional but after 12 years of being locked straight at 90 degrees my support hand grip is all messed up and I'm having a hard time unfucking it and I thought about going to a class and seeing if a good instructor can see what's going on but the closest a known trainer comes to my rural Ohio area is 5 hours one way and when I tell them that I can't "Run" like normal and that I have a stiff legged hop from 5 surgeries on my left hip I get told that I would hold the rest of the class up so they can't help me sooooo I am close to designating myself as cannon fodder and may not even need to unfuck where my support hand is gripping the gun but the shot timer idea comes from maybe going back to the beginning and trying to remember the lessons and basics that I was taught starting at age 5 soooo 55 years ago
Great video brother.. I see that you're on the range all the time I am hoping that you're still doing PT .. we must keep our bodies and our mind in complete shape.. keep up the great work Marine
I like your style of teaching! I teach personal protection in the same manner, driving home the idea of basics and enforcing the need to build a strong foundation as your training and skills increase. I believe it is the only way to train! Slow is smooth - smooth is fast! Train hard and sure! Great video!
Great points to learn from and glad we can get the stuff to do it at home if possible. It’s something I’m trying to get to more friends & family on set training goals
Awesome presentation! Suggestions for us cripples? Pistol, carbine and mobility equipment? I'm a Disabled Veteran (1998). Crippled & crutches (2018). Savage .22 and varmints out to 400ys, with cross winds of 15 - 25mph, for overwatch proficiency.
I’ve been shooting since the 1960s, and a veteran like a lot of you guys. One thing I continue to see at the range: people will run their drills, shoot the hell out of their pistol or rifle, and then the slightest malfunction occurs and they’re stumped. They have virtually no familiarity with the weapons system they’re using. I call them Gucci gunners. $2000 rifles, $1500 sights, and practically zero knowledge of the basics. It’s dangerous. Not just for them, but for everyone around them. You’d think with the advent of YT and the internet, people would watch and learn, but many don’t. A few weeks ago, guy next to me was using an empty mag and banging his red dot over and over in between shots. When the range went cold, I had to ask him what he was doing?? He said I’m trying to get this thing zeroed, but I think my picatinny rail is bad, I can’t get the lines to move over far enough. 😳😬I shit you not. I said can I look? I said see these turrets? That’s what you turn to align your crosshairs etc etc. He had no idea. So after we got him all set, he started asking other questions, which I was happy to help with. But as I went back to my lane, I’m thinking jeezes man, guys got a $2000 rig, and knows nothing about it. Please, help your friends out there and teach them the basics. You could save a life, even your own if you’re in the wrong lane at the wrong time.
What you speak of is one of the reasons i do not go to public ranges at all anymore.. I am fortunate to work for an ammo manufacturer and have a range at work and belong to a club that allows for " big boy " rules...but even there i find folks making mistakes and i try to help them out when i can
As an older veteran and someone who takes my firearms seriously I agree 💯 with you! There's so much info out there with just a few minutes on yt. But I'm glad it wasn't around when I started out! Times are changing and not always for the good!
@@gmb5370 agreed. Honestly, they can have all their modern technology today. I was happy with a phone that hung on a wall with a cord and a rotary dial
@@brotherscoobs I hear that. I hate going to public ranges. But they’ve built up around and torn down all the land we used to shoot on. I have land I can shoot on but it’s over an hour drive, and work doesn’t give me a lot of time etc. I remember 20 years ago I could walk to go shooting. Things have changed and not for the better imho
@@johnburrows1179 I don't get people today, a wealth of knowledge at their finger tips and absolutely no common sense! Sad trade off if you ask me. Enjoy the ride my friend!
Consistent makes a good paddern group. A good paddern group. Helps make a good adjustment. Practice makes prefect paddern group.😊 In the military, I was tough to shoot. Three shot groups!💥💥💥
Wholeheartedly agree with training. There are a lot of who are medically disabled and all of the different training things i've seen don't take that into consideration.
Love what you do Bro... I wish more guntubers would get political and push freedom/historical education like you do before they lose their platforms to the anti gun corps running them. I know a lot of gun owners dont want to hear it but they need to, they need to be beat over the head with the truth. Because If they dont wake up we are going to lose whats left of our freedoms. 100 million gun owners cant be stopped if we all worked together as we make up almost half of the voting age citizens in this country. I appreciate you putting out low round count training scenarios. With everything going on right now I dont want to spend the extra cost to train like I used to and I dont want to break into my reserves either. With business slowing and employees to pay, its hard to justify the large round count training days of old. All of my employees are now gun people and we go to the range once a month as a "team building exercise", I have even been able to convert a couple of them. Keep up the good work Reid, you are appreciated for what you do. Maybe before you completely retire I can get out there for some classes.
Great drills but the vast majority of american shooters dont have access to ranges that allow any position except standing no draws or transitions etc etc due to our litigous society and quasi pro gun owners
But no, for real I thought that as well where I'm at but I just found out the ranges I go to usually have specific days where you can do certain things. Like R"apid fire on steel Thursdays" !(just found out yesterday)
Love the straight forward kit . I keep it straight forward as well alot of people at the range make it a Gucci competition now and not performance progression aspect. I don't give a fuk how expensive everything is that someone has I care about how you do under pressure.
Good, no frills training/practice. When I teach new shooters, I don't allow them to use optics until they've learned iron sights first. I wonder how many folks actually practice with their flip up back up iron sights on their rifles? How many actually have them? How many have at least zeroed them? Love your comment on the milspec trigger, too. You don't have to spend $100-$200 on a trigger - spend the money on ammo and shoot until it smooths out.
...My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit! >:0
As far as I know he hasn't said one thing which is really sad and pitiful since James whether he liked or hated him did help him get his name out there.
doesn't fucking matter. I yank a boresnake or some patches through with some clp a few times and call it good. I don't worry about copper fouling unless I see accuracy degrade. People obsess over cleaning for no reason. Get some training.
@@Irishcream216 I understand. I have used stuff like that before, but I always had issues with it. It may work for some, but it didn't work for me. The AR front sights from XS sights have a white stripe that is surrounded by a black border, so you get the advantage of both. Note that a lot of this also depends on one's eyes.
@@charliefoxtrot5001 I apologize, I meant to reply to the OP's question. Not meant at all to undermine your input. I agree that a quality set of sites would be a much better alternative. For me, a 3/64 drill bit and a dot of testor's paint does the trick when money is tight However.
Range time for me... I have my own private range😁 I rarely go to a public range anymore.

Great video sometimes limited round training does work, its takes disipline to go to the range and make practice count
Thanks for sharing Reid. Much appreciated.
