This course took me from having never held a rifle to Air Force Marksmanship Medal in one hour of training. The M-16 is the finest weapon ever created.

I've heard it said that you may leave the military, but the military will never leave you.

So you appear to have learned to be safe and accurate.

I like to practice my pistol skills at 25 yards. I can constantly hit the bullseye or close to it. I think I could do trick shooting if I could afford the ammo

In 60 years of shooting, I never used the trigger method shown here around the 13:00 mark.

Boycott Ruger. Buy a clone, most of which are superior. Bill Ruger personally walked the halls of Congress promoting magazine size limits and that's a significant part of why millions of Americans now have magazine bans.

Why exactly would one need to be so rich to operate a firearm? I'm fairly poor but carry and use a rifle multiple times a week. Protection of livestock and a need to eat meat are the reasons.

The Army isn’t Hollywood. It’s not supposed to look pretty, it’s about the information.

@@tankgirlsc then they should have focused on the information, not the instructor.

I would’ve been snoring as soon as they turned on the projector

No, he's right. These army training videos need to stop trying to win an AAM for editing. The information is central. These slick tricks distract from it.

It’s called cant and all that’s important if the rifle is canted is that it be consistent at the zeroed distance. That’s the rub and thus a rifle without an adjustable butt may need to use muscle to square the rifle if a canted condition cannot be made consistent. It is a particular problem shooting the Service Rifle in sitting position for some. At any rate, when the rifle is canted some windage is added to elevation when adjusting sight to extended distance.

i think that's usually the case for sub-100 meter engagements and cqb. For longer ranges i think focusing on the reticle is better. Rah.

😂

😂😂😂

I run an ALG QMS trigger group in my AR-15. Nothing fancy, just a smoother milspec. About a 5.5lb pull. I took the advice of a combat vet who now teaches long range shooting near me, and that advice is to pull the trigger in a relaxed, natural grip. Since people's fingers aren't identical, he said the important part is that you don't clench up your grip, and to pull, NOT squeeze the trigger. He said telling people to "squeeze" often leads to clenching or "choking" the trigger and grip. The advice is pretty sound, as I don't even think about the trigger when shooting. I just point at my target, and smoothly pull my finger back. Doesn't matter where the trigger is on my finger, though for me, I think the natural contact point is between the second and third knuckle, the base of the finger being the first knuckle. I'm consistently hitting an 18" steel gong at 300yds with standard A3 irons, and regularly hitting an 18" steel gong at 450yds, despite being a relatively new shooter. Probably best not to think about the trigger, as long as you are consistent in your shots. I did have a flinch and blinking at first, but that went away after about 100 rounds, as I got used to the noise and recoil. I should also note that I shoot for combat accuracy, not competition accuracy. My eyes can't even see sub-1 MOA with irons (especially since I'm focusing intently on the front post anyway, causing the target to blur). I shoot well enough to hit an enemy at 450yds with my irons, so sub-1 MOA isn't really important until shooting at very long range, or competitively. I'd rather get positive hits with rapid target acquisition than taking forever to get perfect shots on a single target when there are many targets. The range I shoot on has steel gongs at 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, and 450 yards, and I love having someone randomly call out which of the 6 targets to shoot next, and see how quickly I can get a positive hit. I'm a bit slow at the moment at about 3-4 seconds per target, but I'm a new shooter, and will get faster with practice. 🤠

Pulling the trigger with the tip of the finger is appropriate for classic style stocks like that on the 1903 Springfield. Most, when holding an M16 or M4, will find their finger pulling the trigger with the middle pad, as the weapon is gripped differently. Long range shooting is partially about trigger pull; consistency, stability and body positioning is more important than gripping a rifle unnaturally in order to adhere to a standard on a different platform, ie: pulling an M4 trigger with the finger tip because that is how the 1903 Springfield is held. Holding the trigger to the rear and feeling the reset improves accuracy and indicates malfunctions as well.

The guy demonstrating is #1 United States Army Marksmanship Unit Service Rifle Competitor. He knows all about how to achieve SMOOTH Trigger Control.

It's not a problem but the nature of firearms. Different weapons recoil differently. Consistent shot placement comes from consistent training with your particular weapon. You will become more accurate as your skill increases from experience. The weapon is just a machine doing the same thing repeatedly.

I agree

The army way is not always the best way.

If you focus on the target, sights drift and you miss.

This should not apply period. If you have a good scope it should be adjusted via the diopter to have both the reticle and target in focus. With a red dot the whole point of the bright red dot is so you can target focus with the dot being layered into your vision per se. I saw the thumbnail of the video and immediately called bs. That being said if you have irons you are relegated to this technique because lining up irons on a target farther than 50 yards is actually necessary.

@@AV-nl9gc. There’s not even a hint of bs here. It’s an outstanding presentation of the principles of marksmanship as applied to the M16A4 and M4. The session here is a portion of instruction given to students attending SDM, TTT, and SAFS Training Events which are delivered by the Army Marksmanship Unit. The instruction produces results.

The simple answer is it will take time. The same reason somebody has to learn to swing nunchucks very slowly so as not to hit themselves, and over the course of countless hours over months and years, can simply pick up a pair and move them so fast you'd think they'd be black and blue by the time they're done. Put simply, the more you do it the slow way that gets you shot a bunch, ensuring that you bring them up accurately, eventually, the quicker you'll be able to do it accurately. Focus on accuracy, and speed will follow. Patience with definitely help. Good luck, partner.

you should practice dry fire sight alignment with your pistol

Practice, practice, practice ,try getting a contrasting colored front sight post ,

No

First, sight alignment must be consistent, centering the tip of the front sight post in the rear sight aperture. This is important since Inconsistency creates angular error which increases with distance. Next, focusing on front sight, the shooter adjusts natural point of aim to place the tip of front sight to center mass of target while maintaining sight alignment. The center mass hold must be selected over other holds for bullet strikes to hit various size and shape targets at distances served by the battle sight zero and bullet drop compensation functions. Of course a sight picture or hold can be off set to account for wind or distance.

@@charlesludwig9173 Absolutely correct. I'm not countering that at all. What I'm talking about is what part of the front sight post you are seeing as the point where the bullet is going to land. Instead of centering the front sight post with the idea that the bullet should land where the middle of the top of the sight post is your bullet aiming point, instead zero the rifle with the corner of the front sight post as the point where you want the bullet to land. Then, when you do as you just mentioned and have a consistent sight picture and aiming to land a bullet at the center of the target, the sight post will block vision of only 1/4 of the target instead of half, thus maintaining better awareness of the target and with the corner being a lot easier to aim than estimating the center of the sight post your shots will be more accurate towards your intended aim point.

Good tip, I'm going to try this

@@TribeWars1 Let us know how you like it.

Total amature, but same, it just worked better for me. Especially for skeet.

@@Dan-yk6sy In skeet shooting it seems pretty common to train to focus on the target, so much so that the first time I went clay shooting the gun that I was given had the front bead sawn off of it, the instructor said a lot of beginners miss all their shots because they focus on the sight too much.

Reee m4 is better

@@Tryharder69420 Lighter and more compact, sure. Better? Not really. The M16 has a longer sight radius, better gas system, and less felt recoil (granted 5.56 is already light recoiling). In my opinion, unless you’re frequently transitioning in and out of a vehicle, or clearing rooms, the M16 is a superior rifle. If your job is guard duty, or some other role that doesn’t involve door-to-door urban fighting, I think you’d be better off with an M16 if you can handle the slight weight increase.

@@porpoision don’t forget your going from 3000 fps in the m4 14 inch barrel vs 3300 fps in the m16 20 inch barrel as well which make a big difference in the m193 round fragmenting and different wound type as the higher speed of the m16 creates a different more deadly type of wound paired with the m193 fragmenting on impact. The m4 fragment range is 100 yards vs 200 yards fragmentation distance on the m16 20 inch barrel. Higher speed from m193 from a 20 inch barrel also has a better chance of piercing level 3+ plates as well over the m4. Other than cqb/cqc tge m16 is in fact superior

@Jake Zommick should we tell them about optics, or just let them be right?

​@@porpoision the gas systems are the same. Just different lengths

I have the same thing. It's called cross-eye dominance. The 'correct' thing to do is to switch hands. Larry Vickers, a decorated Navy SEAL, is right-handed and left-eyed who shoots left handed. I'm like you, though - I don't wanna shoot left handed. It's awkward as hell, and the standard manual of arms is thrown out the window - you need to break your shooting grip to disengage the safety and drop a mag; the gun now ejects towards you which ranges from a pain in the ass to a total non-starter if it's something like a bullpup without ambi features because it would now eject into your face. So, what to do? With handguns it isn't much of an issue - I just naturally turn my head a bit to the right to align my left eye with the rear sight and that works perfectly. With a rifle, though...Well, with iron sights, forget shooting both eyes open. Your perspective will be to the left of the rear sight as opposed behind it, making both-eyes-open shooting impossible. The same goes with magnified optics. For both of those, we gotta shoot with one eye closed. Shooting with one eye closed is generally accepted as 'incorrect' tactically because it limits your field of view and you don't have true depth perception with one eye. But it can be done. With irons, you can also theoretically cant the weapon and get your left eye behind it that way. It will work, but it's generally recognized as incorrect and a horrible habit to get into, as canting the gun will throw off your aim if you use optics. The second best thing to switching shooting sides is to get a non-magnified optic - a red dot or something. I got an EOTech. Since it's not magnified and you're not lining up two points of reference at different depths, eye dominance doesn't matter. You can shoot both eyes open using these no matter which eye is behind the reticle. But yeah - we should really suck it up and just learn to shoot left handed. Larry Vickers went through a Panamanian prison guarded by armed military personnel to bust out an American citizen and survived all sorts of combat shooting wrong-handed, so people can learn to be deadly effective with cross-eye dominance.

@@angry_zergling so i got into sporting clays a few years back, not too deep just weekend banging. My friend who got me into it is a pretty serious shooter, he's probably invested the equivalent of a nice new car in a couple guns and all the gear and of course tourney fees & ammo. I usually just shot at the local club but one day me & my friend traveled a couple couple hours out to shoot at a club in the next state over, he'd been there a bunch but it was my first time there and we were paired up with a couple retired guys who've probably been banging for 40 years. After 2 or 3 stations one of the old guys asks me "you're left eye aren't you?" I said "yeah is it obvious?" He said "your whole head is coming up & over the gun when the bird is in the air". They had a bunch of suggestions, one was to smudge the left eye of my glasses for a very long time, and over the next couple months my brain would rewire itself to the right eye, but there's about a 50% chance that as soon as i stopped it would go right back. So in the end i choose to do nothing, kept shooting until my friend dumped a ton of money into his gear and worked his way up into the mid 40's per round, i just found something else to do with my Saturday afternoons, like building things. I also plateaud at pool. I used to play in 2 or 3 tourneys a week + 1 or 2 leagues, but when i got to a certain level i could never progress. That's when i learned i was left eye, i never knew before that.

This is me. Right handed, shoot left handed on rifle. I just went ahead and did it. Don't have any of my collection made for lefties, either. Weird, I know.

With red dot and holographic sights you can use Occluded eye aiming, which takes advantage of your natural binocular vision, and the brain's ability to merge information from both eyes into what we perceive as a single image giving you a clear and crisp target and reticle image

Holograph is not a natural sight picture, it just feels like it.

I've been shooting a recurve bow for about 2 months, so take this with a grain of salt... There is a ton of different methods for shooting a recurve, one being "instinctive" (I think). I've attempted several different methods, but instinctively shooting the bow, I have the best accuracy. I've heard that it's sort of like throwing a football. You don't focus on the football when you throw it, you focus on the target. It's instinctive. I think the difference is that there is nothing "instinctive" about shooting a rifle, thus the reason why focusing on the reticle versus the target is better. Watcha think?

This training is for targets, but the goal is to shoot humans, it would just be way too distracting to focus on them.
