As a former Marine Corps combat marksmanship coach, I can definitely say practicing all these tips will make me, and anyone, a much better shooter. Never stop learning.
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 I can't imagine what that would cost in the private sector, apples to apples.
@@mtmadigan82 Green Berets primary job is indig training and it shows lol
@@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.
@@mtmadigan82 not these days Devil Dog. Now even the Military is trying to go woke. Worried about people's pronouns and shit. China just building up while we get woke. Best Warfighters I think we'll be a thing of the past very soon.
17 years in the Navy and Army to include a MISO unit, and I finally get a GREAT block of instruction on this subject. Keep these coming.
Mike, this was awesome - to the point fundamentals. I just purchased my 1st carbine AR15. So much value in less than 10 mins. Hope this channel helps more people. Super grateful and appreciate all your content here on YT.
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.
If he says to use a c clamp, im doing a clamp. This dude is badass, his interview on VigilanceElite w. Shawn ryan was epic, dudes a beast. Green berets, tomb of the unknown soldier guard, spec ops dude all around. No bs.
Learned more in 10 min than the whole time Ive owned my AR
Check out Vigilance Elite channel as well . Good stuff .
Wow that's sad
You bought a gun and don’t know how to hold it ???
@@wernesgruder1 truth be told lindsey probably owned that ar for years and just now learning how to hold it. People really shouldn't buy one if they can't hold or use it properly. Says alot about the dealer too.
@@wernesgruder1 we all have to learn at some point correct how do you expect to learn with it if you don't own one
The Fundamental series is really helpful. I would love some more of these, plus the bloopers are great!
I like how you incorporate the thumb pointing into the c. Good job SGM
I first saw Mike on a video with Shawn Ryan, doing a funny but educational video on survival gear on the cheap. Loved that - glad to see Mike has his own channel, I am definitely a fan. I learned a lot from this video
As an old Army dog...real old...did my time back in the 80's...was a 13B so we did not get to go through a lot of hands on training with the rifle....
Big thanks and shout out to all your help...and with the days we are living the better prepared and trained we are may just come in handy...
As a 13B from the 2010s... neither did we. Yet I got that sweet military grade tinnitus. I think I have had more trigger time in the last couple range days than my entire enlistment.
Just got my AR today and my friend recommended this channel. I also live in Colorado so I will be taking full advantage of these videos and any live training I can do
Hey brother, appreciate the time you took on this and the great explanations. Throughout all my years of experience in Law Enforcement and the military, no one has ever taught me these fundamentals. Crazy right? So Thank You!
Depends on when you served too. A lot has changed since the M-14s and M-16 A2s.
Yes to more fundamentals, thanks for the lesson
My background is just hunting, so this greatly helps with using the Stoner design. I'll practice and try these techniques on Saturday at the club's steel target shoot. The PCC is 40S&W.
Excellent content. Been in for ARNG for 28 years and never had anyone train c-clamp, and "drive the gun". But it makes so much sense. Thanks.
Yes eyes for target acquisition and c-clamp hold for motion carbine/barrel guide to target acquired whether free stance or on the move !!!! Now I just gotta go to the range and practice and you have earned me as a new subscriber !!!!
Video is amazing. Answered every question I had in under 10 mins.
Just finished a class up in Jonesboro, Arkansas Money well spent! Randy was an Awesome instructor! Mike! Please get the gunfighter classes over here soon!
I understand the practicality of the non-dominant hand C-clamp position, & I’ve tried it, but I still think it’s uncomfortable. Also, your profile increases which makes you a bigger target. Holding the C-clamp for long periods of time tires out the shoulder. Perhaps it’s just a matter of getting used to it. The AR-15 is accurate enough (remember, practically no recoil or negative recoil relatively speaking) to where the C-clamp is just an enhanced adjustment to control muzzle rise. Good to know all types of techniques though.
Maybe if you cant it outward and use a 45° red dot it will feel better.
That profile is used because of body armor. If you turn sideways the body armor isn't protecting you.
The body adapts to the C Clamp. I only used it for shooting. The more I did it the longer I could hold it. Now I use the fore grip to sling carry at a type of low ready. When I think I might be shooting at any minute I go to C Clamp. I can now hold C Clamp for several minutes at a time with no fatigue at all.
I love your content. As a Civilian just wanting to do right, you’ve educated myself light years beyond the rest.
"Okay. So I have a blue gun." Yes. That gun is indeed pretty blue.
It’s actually called a “blue gun” not just because it’s blue 😆 but yeah, funny take
First off, love this video......but you had a giant hold the dear rifle for the recoil demonstration haha
Thank you for your no nonsense, all business approach to teaching firearms fundamentals!
Thanks again Mike. Love the Bleeper reel.
Real game changer for me glad I found your channel
Its great to be an old operator and see the progression. Put my ego away a long time ago and eager to learn from the new operators!
I retired just after the M-4 came into use, so this way of shooting i've seen but never understood the the reason. i watched some stuff on the Russian Speznas which is where i first saw this way of holding the carbine, or in their case the AK-74.
So got to ask, is that where it came from?
I'm new to the AR-15 platform and this really makes more sense, I wondered why people held their carbines that way. My carbine is set up with ban a2 front post sight and a flip up rear sight at the moment.
Great Video. I just got the MP15 Sport 2 and was going to change the guard rail to put a vertical grip on but after Watching your instructions I’m going to keep the factory AR and Practice
This is such a intresting channel! I never owned a gun but this guys instrutions make me confident i can
Mind blown! Tons of great info without overloading my senses. The parallel elbow to the ground, I gotta work on that. I had my C grip right at least. Another big one for me is I pull my head down to the sight thinking I need the stock in my shoulder all the way. I now understand that isn't what I'm supposed to be doing, thanks for that man.
Easy to understand, gives a good idea of how and why to practice with your rifle. Look forward to. Iewing the rest of you content.
Finally!! Simple, to the point. Loved it- Dude's a Chief
Don’t have a carbine yet… but when I do, I’m ready!
Thanks!
Thank Mike. Very helpful explanation and breakdown of fundamentals!
Any relation to Danny Glover? (Asking for a friend.)
Cousin from a different mother
I used to train m4 familiarization and qualification in the army as a Drill, i worked with both privates in basic company and with naval personnel to prep them for overseas combat deployment. I came from 1stSFG(A) where i spent the first decade of my Army career. OMFG, trying to convince soldiers and sailors to not fear the recoil, it was like trying to convince them to step into a lion enclosure after a week of not feeding the lions lol
How do you hold one as a felon? Asking for a friend
I would change my grip when on a swat line up. I was 2nd man in behind the shield and a arm way out forward made my body have to move to much. So I would use a closer forward hand grip still with thumb on top with elbows tucked tighter in. This is for close quarter residential entry. This also helped cutting pie around corners to not expose my barrel so someone could grab it. I am retired LE and ERT. I still have my entry long gun.
I needed to see this because I’ve never received any formal training before this video. Great job keeping it simple.
I don’t agree with the C Clamp. Your arm can’t naturally be suspended in that position for an extended time. Grabbing from below not only is more natural, but also keeps your peripheral vision clear.
less exhaustive as well, the more hands are relaxed the better accuracy.
The fatigue only happens if your arm and elbow are locked. I think you guys are not realizing he's not using a full-length rifle which is allowing his elbow to bend which keeps the arm from getting tired as fast.
Nah man this is what all the cool kids who never shot at anyone are doing these days.
Dwaine Short even with a full length rifle, your arm will be bent... especially when you correctly utilize the sling. In no situation is a c grasp any more effective. If you’re in the prone you can’t utilize the c grasp, you need an elbow beneath to compensate for the length of the magazine. You never create habits, that you’ll have to break.
Excellent tutorial Mike. Thanks so much.
great information and always delivered in an easy-to-understand manner. thank you, sir!
I have to say I've had a lot of training but it's still good to go back to the basics. In this video I learned to drive the rifle with my offhand rather then moving the entire rifle to my target. It sounds like a small thing but my foot work as well as body positioning all changed some in a good way. I truly feel much smoother.
Now the C-clamp... I still don't know. If the whole point is to keep the rifle from flipping. I just grip my 9 o'clock rail and produce what I feel is the same result.
Thanks for the tip Mike! Good shit!!
WELCOMED ADVICE for sure
As a new ar15 owner this is very useful.
Very clear, and deeply appreciated. Thank you!
Thank you mike for the tips i will start practicing
Very informative. First time out I felt the need to ‘tuck’ my elbow. Next time I’ll keep my forearm perpendicular to the ground, which seems more intuitive.
Tyvm for the brush up sir! I do most of this correctly, but learned a few new things!
Today I went to range in my country. I own a carbine too. Just bought it. So shot it for first time I posted pics on Facebook whole taking shots and people make fun of me for my holdings. So I came here to learn how to hold and fire
Good comments. I wished I had received this training when I was
issued a m-4. That was many moons ago!👍😊🇺🇸
This is so helpful. I don’t have my weapons at my current address but I can still maintain the muscle memory with just proper hand movement thanks Mike!
Late to the party on this, but great info and definitely subscribed to great teaching like this.
Absolute best video I’ve ever seen on the subject. Fantastic fundamentals!
Found you after your interview with Shawn Ryan. Great interview and great video! Subscribed!
I need every bit of this help. I’m disabled, but I get out there when I can.
Thanks! I’ll be practicing this!
I sure enjoy all the information you have and share. Thank you for the knowledge. Will practice more with my carbine. The way you said to. Thanks again!!!
super good stuff. Thanks for your service and this video. Never been told this info before. Keep learning.
Awesome! Thank you. Love the outtakes 😊
Your really good at being good.
Finally a good video on guns.
That was beautiful! Very brilliantly explained. Thank you so much.
When using the Carbine in combat: 1. how often do you use the fully automatic function? 2. which mode do you have it set to when on patrol? when do you use one mode versus the other? ty
I think a lot of the pushback on C-clamp grip, and I am one of those who has griped about this in the past, is that too many gunstore cowboys and tacticool TH-cam "instructors" push it as THE grip, the only one you should ever use. A lot of what we did was VERY tight-quarters CQB and vehicular operations where C-clamp wasn't the best choice because of the space involved, so my bias was formed against it accordingly, and it took time for me to get over that bias and accept it as a viable grip. Conversely, people who engage at longer ranges where the stability offered by the C-clamp makes it a far superior grip fell into the same trap of it be the best grip for all situations. There is a time and a place for most grips and stances, and I think the problem comes in when people (and again, I was one of those) get into tribal camps and defend their sacred cow grip as the ONLY one acceptable. That's where a lot of the criticism you mentioned that I have personally seen came from
I love my carbine and it’s my favourite
Just over here Stayin alert and stayin 🤙🏼
That was an amazing lesson.
Lol he says that hurt. Imagine you're 16 and you're at the range for the first time. All you've ever fired is a 38, a 380, and a broom handle Mauser. You're dad tells you to shoulder an old school 308 rifle... and then he tells you to pull the trigger. Now imagine your dad asks you for 1 more.
Yeah, still waiting on those cybernetic shoulder replacements. What's funny is now I have a bit of an obsession with 308 rifles. Still haven't had the opportunity to fire one correctly though. I saw Colion Noir firing a full auto 308. Imagine "shouldering" that haha.

Well presented...
Do you have an instructional video on the proper use of a rifle sling? Thanks
Super educational thanks man. Maybe if you can give us some basic gun fight survival tips?
Damn just when I thought I wouldn't learn something... well done.
I always thought the c-clamp was ridiculous when I first saw it being used and I personally think more tiring compared to keeping your elbows tight and under the rifle. But then again, I was trained in the "hasty sling" Era. Regardless, you gave a good explanation as to WHY it's used.
No Google is definitely listening, this video is 2 years old and it came up on my play list. This is not right, I had my phone sitting on our bed this morning while teaching my wife how to hold my AR-15 my rugar 10-22 and my CZ-75. This is crazy. They are literally listening to us over our phone. There is absolutely no damn way this would come up on my TH-cam suggested videos . Hawk out!!
Just a question can you do a video on proper wheel gun holding and stance.
Thank you for this.
I did not know this hummmm they didn't teach me when I was in Basic Training in Fort Knox Kentucky. BS DRill Sargents!!! Thanks for the education Sir!!!
Nice great practice technique
Just found your channel. Good stuff, man. Subscribed!
Great video. Well taught.
Awesome video! Learning a lot
Do a video on shotgun vs Carbines vs pistols for home defense
Great instruction bro.
Great explanation
Thanks Glover
Yeah, this is what Green Berets are trained to do, teach others how to use weapons and fight with them.
Haaaaaaaa! ISWYDT!
No wonder smaller armies outside of the US continue to shoot poorly.
This guy is CAG just FYI
@@takinie9024 He was in that unit for a short amount of time the bulk of his career was spent in SF. Hell, I think he was a Tomb Guard longer than he was with JSOC.
Even a Stick or Rock if need be
Finally, a no-bs explanation of the WHY of the c clamp from someone who isn't trying to be tacti-cool.
Thanks, Mike
what are you talking about? Do you SEE how he is holding it? 100% trying to be "tacti-cool". His elbow flare is SOO bad for consistency. it's hilarious how bad it is.
Jason Ikr, pretty sure he’s a paintball guy
@@aa1bb2cc3dd4 yeah I heard he likes airsoft
He was a green beret for about 20 years and has alot of experience in combat.
@@sub-zero1128 experience in combat should have taught him the exact opposite of how he holds it. It looks like he didn't learn a damned thing from combat.
I love everything this guy teaches. No bs and puts a reason to everything he teaches. Keep up the good work man!
Everything except for repeating multiple times “this is not a deer rifle” I use my AR all the time for deer hunting
Agreed, went to join the Royal Green Jackets, bad background sadly, FMEs passed me but non professionals had other ideas, idiots, this guy is brilliant top respects USA armed forces, Cpt salutes you
@@tenstargaming9599 You can use it for deer hunting, but it's not a deer rifle simply because it was not designed for deer hunting. Neither was the bullet typically used by them.
Commenting while watching this, I totally agree! Dude this some great instruction. HAVE TO ADMIT; I clicked on this Vid- because I think I have the Exact same Pistol!
@@SouthpawSteel Ahhght--! ..carbine....!
I was Infantry for 15 years, actually taught small arms, and I learned a lot with this video, awesome job. Looking forward to more
So awesome! Glad to hear it and thank you for the feedback!
Dude just thinking the same 10 years infantry 08 to 18. The only c clamp I remember being taught is when shooting using walls and stuff but it was like the opposite like think of making an ok sign and then your left the fingers are pushed against the wall. Then again when I was out of basic they were handing out gangsta grips like candy
3 door kickers all learned something here
We used forward grips in our deployments, but i guess they fell out of style? My company also went to DARC riffle and MOUT courses in 08' and we always used the forward grips.
@@fieldcraftsurvival brother we appreciate you more than you'll ever know we got your back if you ever need us you can count on that
I ALMOST did not watch this video, I’m thinking “hey I’m military and have been shooting for years I don’t need to watch this.” I took a step back and humbled myself and watched the video. Glad I did. Makes a lot of sense.
I couldn't have said it better myself. It has brought me to the realization that I have retraining to do.
*MOST* military training is developed for the lowest common denominator.
Chances are if you're relying solely on what you learned in the military, you're missing out.
When your full of yourself, you never learn anything new. That is how the student becomes the master, by continuously learning. While the master thinks he already knows everything.
You won't use c clamp.
It's a gimmick.
soldier of tough love been trying to
Use it it’s not as comfortable as a normal grip.
I spent over 20 years in the Marines, and I’m watching this video like 🤯. I could have used this 20 years ago....
Right! That “C” clamp really locks in and aids follow-on shots
Look up ronin tactical. He is constantly seeking new knowledge and learning from common or less common mistakes.
Same here.

I sure hope I don't let you down.
Antal László sounds like a quote from Forest Gump
@@rudorc it's a quote I think from WW2 Marines
😂
Good stuff, brother. Well presented. DOL
PJF! Hope you're well!
I mean, who is this guy? What, does he think he's a Green Beret or something?
@John Wick
I was being a smart alec. The guy's literally a Green Beret.
Too much rpg player.
Its good there is youtube, otherwise this guy would be driving around in a crusty old pick up truck with a gun rack walking around in flip flops.
How many times can a new AR owner say "Ohooooo" and "that makes sense" in 10 min? Several, several times. Excellent video.
Would love to see a handling class for the Springfield SOCOMII
I am a 72D in the Army. It’s Environmental Science Officer. I am far from the tip of the spear. However, I am a Soldier first and frankly speaking, we don’t get enough weapons training at the medical support level. That’s why I want to thank you for your series of instructions. I can apply and practice these skills in my own capacity so that I won’t be a burden to my Brothers and Sisters.
We got like no actual training. Sat around for 12+ hours a day either doing nothing or cleaning and pulling weeds in the same area we did the day before. Videos like this will be more useful than regular army will be for at least another 25 years.
@@TheRealRenn That came after my time. I was in for that last little bit where the army was still in denial about how useless their PT was and nobody was allowed to have a kit set up different than the first sergeant, regardless of how ineffective it made you at your role. A magical time when you would all get up at 3AM to go to a range to zero your weapons at 2pm and then go back and immediately remove your optic for the arms room.
You are awesome 👍
I can confirm this as well. As a 25A Signal Officer. We were out in the field, but barely got this level of instruction, which seems essential to basic soldier skills. All we learned was SPORTS lol.
Thank you!
Now I know what I was doing wrong.... everything.
Mee too!
Me three
Try holding the rifle by the front of the mag well 👍🏻
Shit all I did right was holding the pistol grip
Me 4!
Just learned a lot, real fast. Thanks, man. The bloopers brought a much needed chuckle.

Are we sure he wasn’t navy..?! Lol lots o bleeps..lol I’m glad I read some comments, had no clue there was a blooper real...!!
I truly respect the want to keep it simple for new shooters. Shooting is a fundamental that every American should have a basic understanding of. This type of video is exactly what is needed. Thank you.
