What i learned with usmc marksmenship coaches put me ahead of most in the world. Dead serious. Worked downrange and very well. When we went to advanced courses it became an extension of that learning. Army SF are simply some of the best weapons instructors on the planet. With a great base of knowledge from the start though. Its really like going to a top tier college, and an insane masters program. People outside the military miss the sum of the parts. But it ends with us fielding the absolute best warfighters on the planet.

@@mtmadigan82 you douchebgs.. You realize that almost any 3gun shooter is going to be a better shooter than you.. Where do you think most of these skills are derived from? How well do you think any one squaring off against someone like Jerry Miculek will do. Good fkin luck with that. Go shoot a competition and see how well you do. Those guys will fkin run circles around you. Go shoot PRS.. Go shoot F class. Do that and see how well you do. Then come back and link your scores. I bet you won't have the balls to do it. You'll simply think because someone is SF they're really good shooters? Military doctrine is woefully behind on everything. Longest shot? Lols.. Guys have been shooting well over 2-3 miles. They have competitions for this. Speed? You're gonna get crushed by USPSA and 3Gun shooters. You guys are taught to fight. But don't mistake gun handling for fighting. You guys suck at gun handling. The majority of military are never taught proficient gun handling.

Vietnam ERA Vet, 3/2 ACR , used the M 16 and was given expert badge but after watching your how to hold a carbine, I realized I was only expert at shooting targets at ARMY Basic and AIT ranges. I knew about relaxed grip so trigger finger had easy motion but the C clamp and the way to bring the weapons optic up to eye level instead of searching for the optic by bringing your head down taught me how it made a shooter so much more efficient.

I go back and watch fundamentals from guys that not only have the ability to shoot fast and accurately, but can integrate that with movement and cover and the whole nine.

We were taught (early 80s) to tuck both elbows into the chest to lessen the chance of getting them shot off, and I used my sling to kill the muzzle jump but, if I were a young military, LEO or security contractor, I would most certainly perfect every aspect of your technique Mike. So interesting how different generations see tactical/technical weapon employment.

As a relatively new shooter who just got their 1st carbine, I have to say, this is exactly what I needed. I had been bringing the stock to my shoulder like a traditional rifle and then looking for sights. This makes so much sense to bring sights to eyes 1st. The lack of recoil means not needing to tuck the stock into your shoulder. So simple, yet I hadn't seen that in any other videos. Also like the idea of the C clamp. Much like shooting a pistol and covering as much space with your thumbs to cut down recoil. Thanks for keeping it simple!

This is great, I'd love more of these. No one ever taught me how to properly shoulder a rifle, so I notice now I was pushing my face down to the optic instead of bringing the optic to my face. Thank you!

Mike, you’re a great teacher/trainer! I learned on an M-16 back in the VN era - RA All the Way. Never carried a carbine. Owned a few AR’s over the years and now have a carbine. Studied on my own and had plenty of professional input over the years, but I never learned these great techniques. This stuff may sound obvious, people, but it isn’t! Listen to Mike, because he knows his stuff. His practical lessons are well received. Thank you for making me a better shooter! I admire your testicular fortitude and deeply appreciate your your experience.

C clamp grip is great for fast, accurate competition shooting and for that purpose, it's an extremely good grip. Now hold that grip for more than 5 minutes and we'll see how that shoulder holds up. That support hand shoulder will fatigue very, very quickly and then your accuracy goes to shit. It's always best to learn, use and practice with multiple grip styles.

@@Cirux321 EXACTLY! By the time you have stood "at the ready" (overwatch) for around an hour or two (supporting breachers for example), you will be holding that M4 around the magwell with your weak hand. Forward pistol grips can make a good "monopod" if you're lucky enough to be behind a vehicle or a wall. Even the SF guys will change grips if the op is long enough... it's called fatigue.

I have been shooting since I was 4 yrs. old. My first gun was a Daisy rifle that shot round cork bullets. By age 11, I was learning how to shoot a 12 Guage. ( I was a skinny little kid, and my Dad was trying to toughen me up.) At one time, I owned 2 deer hunting rifles. Now, in my old age, I am shooting an AR-15. It was so foreign compared to a 30.06 bolt or my lever action 30.30. Your's is the first video that I have seen to properly handle this wonderful rifle. Thank you so much for your training. It is very much appreciated. Kim Willott, a 2A Pastor and Certified Pistol Instructor.

I really enjoyed this instruction. The c-clamp and forward thrust of your off arm acts as a point technic similar to 'instinctive point shooting ,one handed with a pistol. My father taught me to "point shoot from the holster with a Colt peacemaker, beginning at seven yrs old. He was very accurate. The best I ever did was killing an 8 point buck from 25 yards, drawing from the holster, a Ruger Bkackhawk in .44 magnum, 4 3/4" barrel. Face on with the buck, I got him center of the neck just below the chin. True story, have witness. I've never considered that technique would translate to a carbine. I like it and will begin practice immediately. Thank you for your service from a fellow veteran.
