People out here paying 800 dollars for a carbine class with their favorite IGfluencer when Baer is literally giving you free blocks of professional instruction... cheers

Navy: don't shoot the bottom out of the boat. Army: don't shoot the blades off the helicopter. Marines: shoot everything, all the time, everything is your enemy, if you run out of ammo your rifle doubles as a spear

There are instructors, and there's THIS instructor. Clear, concise, on point instruction and demonstration.

The way you present each subject is amazingly easy to digest and makes sense. Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge 👍🏻

I’ve always heard the name “Baer solutions” in the industry for good training but never paid much attention, BOY was I wrong in doing that. The quality of both the information and the video is incredible. 🤙🏻

Such a great instructor you can tell. This is why GT always recommends his training. Makes it so easy to digest. You're a true professional Mr. Baer

I felt the low ready made more sense to me when it came to transitions or quickly using hands only for anything. I need to carry this/pull those/hang from that/catch them, I would just let the rifle hang and hands were free. I was told to try using both hands freely and as quickly as you can from the low ready and then try it from the high ready but make sure you're wearing a helmet and maybe a mouth guard. I know that's probably a negligible time difference and it doesn't pertain to the ready and shot times that this video is about but it's something I've always remembered. Sorry to hog up the comments section, Drew! Thanks for another excellent video!

Depends on range rules too. Around here high ready you're likely to be aiming over the berm and get kicked out, the local RO's always ask for muzzle down, so it's definitely situation dependent.

Excellent info Drew…Like always. thank you for the top notch education 👍

This is absolutely wonderful info and clear, concise, no-nonsense instruction, cheers!

Excellent tutorial! Straight to the point with all the necessary little details included. Thank you for sharing. Br from Slovenia

You’re an excellent Instructor and I really appreciate how easy-going and realistic you are. I’m really glad I stumbled onto your channel channel.

I believe that this is the first video of yours that I’ve seen. Your style and the way that you deliver information is far above others who do this on KZfaq. Thank you for the free information, your experience shows. There’s always more to learn and I appreciate the tidbits that you gave us all here. Thank you.

By far the best description and explanation of high and low ready. Thank you.

I'm a low ready kinda guy. I don't like it how the rifle obscures my vision. I like a full field of view.

What a great video. Priceless education. Hooyah😎

Seriously great video. Thank you for the clear and helpful and generous instruction. You’ve earned a new fan, and I’ve watched a lot of different channels. Great stuff. Great vibe. Stay happy, healthy, aware, and prepared.

Baer’s rifle 2 was some of the best instruction I have ever received.

I really like your instructions. Thanks for that. Very good stuff. I'm new to ARs and this is exactly what I'm looking for. Great video.

Love this channel...can't wait to take a class...what a professional

This is great information, you normally have to pay money for this like others said in the comments. I am always partial towards Army SF guys. I was conventional army at Bragg , I had a clearance so I was picked to be part of Pineland during a Robin Sage , it was a great time and I learned so much. I learned more than I learned in the conventional Army as a Airborne MP, and later as a civilian cop. So I am partial to you long tab gents. You are warriors in Spec Ops and teachers in your respective field. We are blessed to have soldiers like you in the Military and also blessed as a armed civilian to be able to access this great training .

Right on. Clear, concise. Excellent video.

Great info, thanks Drew.

Top notch content, in a very well structured and didactic way. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for the lecture. I learned a lot from it.

Genuinely the best video I've seen on this topic. Been trying to achieve a proper high ready engage since I started shooting rifle. This made it so much easier to understand and get it right! Look forward to seeing more content

Superb vid. Both in instruction and quality of presentation.

Great video. I'm now a very proud AR-15 owner, and this is an outstanding tutorial. Got it saved in my video library!!! 💯💯💯😊😊😊

Found your channel thanks to the flannel daddy himself, Garand Thumb. As someone on a fixed income who can’t really afford travel and training, I found this helpful beyond words. Thanks, Baer!

Great video brother love your instruction.

Good Key Points about each method. 👍

Excellent video

Just the “tight = slow; loose = fast” makes watching this worthwhile. Your teaching style is just about perfect for me.

Thank you very much for this fantastic video! Greetings from Germany!

I think you just solved one of my issues (the chin) with the high ready demo. Thanks!

OK, Sir, this is great training, am in!

thanks man this was really helpful.

Thx for this

Thank you.

Good job brother.

This was like watching a Great White Shark grab a seal and fly through the air in slow motion. 😂 Probably the best explanation/demonstration of LR vs HR I’ve ever seen. 🤙🏽

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Good shit man!

Just stumbled onto this channel. Great info

Awesome demonstration.

Thank you

Looking forward to attending your classes in ‘23 🤘🏻

Great tutorial

Amen brother

Thank you for explaining the high ready. I never try it anymore because I usually smack myself in the face and it doesn't feel very good.

More like this please

thanks..in my time in the german army i never understood why one of the instructors told us the "high ready" ! in my opinion it should be called "high rest" because thats what u are doing.. resting in the sling..when i came there with my low ready position as a young rookie he screamed at me that i've watched too many hollywood vietnam movies..the gun should always point towards the target..and i started an argue with him..a bad idea btw 😅

High praise for Ripcord, I’ll have to get my hands on one

Love to see the boys gear getting used. Steve and Derek are both doing great things.

Fantastic video and great explanation of concepts. I'm going to make your channel mandatory viewing for my troops at this rate.

I actually would like to hear one day your pros and cons on using a red dot sight, micro red dot, or Holgraphic sight on ones rifle that is carbine length. Everyone has alot pros and cons on the civilian side. But i don't see many retired spec ops give their 2 cents on it.

Here I am at 2am dry firing my lovely M4 while the family sleeps Daddy goals💪 thank you for this intel!

Very nice

I was taught both positions in the army. 2006-2010. I never heard of any of this controversial stuff until i got online. Used both.

Being ex army and equipped with the FN fal we always used the low ready.

Subbed!

Just gained a subscriber!

damn as an pre-diabetic overweight cheverolet dealership employee, I'm so glad I know this information.

I work as an armed security contractor, When I worked for nuclear security team for a bit they trained us low ready so I got use to that but before I always went with high ready bc Sean Ryan showed it that way lol

Subscribed Quality teaching! Bill Buckhead Ga

This is fucking gold

Great content! What rifle set up are you using? 14.5” barrel?

The thumb directed me here

mobile axel caries the rifle, and show Mercy Useful guys!

gan u say something about hand grip? why are u grabbing it with the left hand more from the side instead of underneath? I've seen that in the last couple of weeks on other videos and it looks weird to me.. Is there a reason? Thanks for ur excellent teaching videos! Actually the best i have seen so far!

Discussion @17:40 is interesting to me. Tension on a flat range is a biological reflex that can be overcome. What do you think is the time loss for tense muscles is when you are doing a building infil, felony extraction, etc? I really love this video. Nice to review fundamentals from different instructors.

If The Mission drives The Gear (and it does) then the situation should dictate posture (ie high or low ready). I used to be a low ready guy (Army lol) but started working with high ready and it's more comfortable to me and I really feel like I'm in more control of the rifle.

I haven't watch the whole video but for me it depends on the building. If I'm clearing and building that has an upstairs then I use low ready. If I'm upstairs with a floor below I use high ready.

I like your forearm brother

wild content

Drew, u should do a video reviewing your CTEs.

You know you need to square away that loose strap tag end. ;) good work

THE NUGGET FROM THIS VIDEO: "Loose muscles are fast muscles, Tight muscles are slow muscles." DAAAMN!!! Thanks!!!

C.Q.B. is a good skill to possess, it seems for sure to be popular in these modern times. infantry skills are various and multi faceted. C.Q.B. is just one particular skill set for a Military professional. but for sure it's dangerous work.

14:13 "at speed" ....definitely couldn't clear the chin over the stock, and his head moved down to meet it hahahhaha I dunno bro, the video doesn't lie.

IMO LR is better if you are expecting an inmediate threat, and HR to move around easily with a long weapon in more confined spaces, specially with a bunch of other people in your team. But there are lots of variables, if your are in the middle of a forest, inside a house, light, night, cramped space...

What trigger do you have in your rifle? If its the Geissele SSP Flat I'm throughly impressed by the control.

Guess things have REALLY changed. High ready was used by the person kicking in a door, to keep the muzzle clear of the #2 man, who was first into a room. #2 goes low ready and crosses immediately into room after door is kicked in. Door kicker goes to opposite side from #2, still keeping the butt to the shoulder pocket. Once both are clear of the doorway, both go to low ready.

At 11:12 he gets the pistol prepped. He locks the slide back, loads a magazine, drops the slide.... then double checks to see if a round is chambered. I've never once had a round not chamber after dropping the slide on a loaded magazine. I am not formally trained... but he does this so naturally that it makes me wonder If I should make this a S.O.P. when I leave the house. My question is: is that double check really necessary? How often does a round not chamber when properly done? I understand (as I am OCD in many ways) that it doesn't hurt to double check... I'm trying to find out why this was so natural to his prep and what is the percent of failure to load (granted the many variables such as ammo, mag, gun, etc.). Please don't judge me for my ignorance... also, thank you for any valuable feedback. I honestly feel like this could be a video in and of itself, describing this very concept.

I’m curious what the ear pro you have is? It looks like wax swimmers ear plugs

By the by I don't know if you did anything with your audio to enhance it or anything.. or if this just lucky but really good job on your gunshot captures.. it's something people that don't shoot don't really comprehend how loud a gun is.. and especially if you're in a situation where you don't have earpro.. watching drills etc.. on video usually the cut off for loud sounds would delegate that to almost nothing.. usually it's automated to avoid peaking.. so shoots it down significantly lower then the ambient.. it's very rare to see produce video content where the actual sound of the weapon is in some way representative.. obviously the rationale for entertainment is I have lots of things going on like dialogue etc.. a certain limit of dynamic range that you have access to.. audience fatigue etc.. and then there's the the traditional reason where the sound designer just doesn't care.. which is surprisingly common sadly.. especially with video games. But for this kind of content I think it's absolutely fantastic how sharp that comes across.. granted I'm a guy who loves loud noises.. just for loud noises sake.. my wife complete opposite, she won't shoot without double ear pro and really can't stand indoor ranges.. and I get it.. she has some pretty entrenched PTSD and loud noises for her aren't just startling, but like triggering... I just wish that sheer dynamic was represented better, especially in situations where you're not trying to entertain or you are trying to inform etc.. really good job is all I'm saying and I like I said I don't know if you did something special, I'm watching this on my phone, and as I'm typing this out every gunshot that's gone off is coming across at the ratio that I'm sure the maximum of KZfaq's compression would allow, and just on a phone speaker it's it's impressive.. So if you're not doing something.. continue to not do it LOL.. if you are props, and just props in general for leaving it in that way and not messing around with it.. I can only imagine how older generation vets had to deal in the days before ear protection, or even in a like a good understanding of long-term hearing damage and all the things.. like even with that my cousin still gets a little check every month for his permanent hearing damage just from the machinery and spending a lot of time around helicopters.. it's definitely worthy of the respect even in that minor degree by comparison but still major in contrast to civilian life.. I wish this wasn't so rare and maybe I wouldn't be waxing on so much about something that seems kind of minor but.. somebody that's done video production for over a decade.. with a lot of live stuff and whatnot.. good audio capture is incredibly difficult just in general.. accurate audio capture is usually long since dropped at the wayside.. and clearly when it comes to gun content that is the majority of channels out there.. if they don't outright actively work against it for presentation purposes...

Got an airlock on a 55 back there. Someone makin hooch.

I just thought hi ready was better for cqb because it’s technically less of a flagging hazard and you can move directions without having to worry about flagging although it happens and is we’ll communicated with pros. Thank you for the lottery information people don’t realize people pay good money to learn this

Just a matter o de choice. Done

Love this....I have a question and a debate...I'm a brand new guy at my department with extensive training I've paid for from war poet, fletc, and tactical response. I currently got onto our swat team, I was clearing from low ready and I was immediately shut down and was told I was wrong and my gun should already be up and hunt with my muzzle they have only been to one week of swat school from another local small agency....I can't break from my current training and the boys won't listen to me cause I'm super new. Should I cut my losses and drop from the team or try somehow to get them to listen to me....or hell am I wrong??? Idk I'm just confused.

Please come to the northeast

As a comunist I love free content about how to get better with weapons, red and ready

8:42 That's the Rambo😅

What kind of hearing protection are you using brother? I'm getting real tired of muffs.

I was told low ready you had more power to bring you rifle up if someone grab it!

This is legit as this is called combat shooting in the adf, we practice this religiously. High ready we usually use because it doesn't laser (flag) our mates as much as low ready when close together. That being said you have to adapt to the situation these are like tools you have and practice. Practice and get comfortable one is not better than another. Train and you can be efficient.

I go with the high ready because I have dogs that are always by my side

🔝🔝💯💯👍👏👏👌

Hi ready aka port arms is more of a defensive position you may get attacked with club

Compressed high ready and compressed low ready are the two techniques to use. Traditional low ready and high ready are "old" school. I know this because I am an ole Marine who is a much better shooter now than when I was in the Corps.
