Watch this complete video series:
• New Army Marksmanship
Members of the US Army Reserve Shooting Team were asked to conduct a Squad Designated Marksman class on the M14EBR-RI Enhanced Battle Rifle for the 82nd Airborne Division, 2nd BN, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment.
Marksmanship fundamentals for the Designated Marksman taught by SFC John Arcularius of the US Army Reserve Shooting Team.
This is an amazing video! Would you agree?
everyone bored by the '' would you agree '' b/s .. very poor teaching
Itddidn't bother me that much personally
I was looking for it all over the place on yt. It’s a shame it didn’t pop up on the search bar, instead it’s all kind of short clips and animation about sniper that’s on the search result
yes indeed but I don't want our enemies learning our tricks though
''I have a huge bald spot on my head...Would you agree?''
Yes, but Arc is so cuddly.
Excellent instruction. This is really how to shoot. I'm retired military and the Staff Sargent covers some issues with marksmanship training I've encountered in my career. Good job!
Take a shot for every time he says "would you agree" hahaha great video though.
Everyone has one of those quirks. I had a professor in college who would end most of his sentences with "Alright?"
Very educated/ well-spoken NCO, I am impressed
+ca mo Military marksmanship teams have many knowledgeable, well-spoken personnel. Shoot some matches with us and find out!
Such an amazingly informative video. My favorite part was the thumb to target exercise
I knew my Drill Sergeants were idiots by telling me to watch my breathing!
I've been out 11 years but I'm going back in. I have to do BCT again since I've been out so long. I will remember this demonstration and help out my battle buddies
One shot, one kill. No luck, all skill

It doesn't matter what they are talking about, aiming, building or flying r maintenance, I love hearing subject matter experts talk.
Yes Sir, I would agree.
Yes Sir, I agree.
Thanks!
> how do you deal with rifle plates?
First, improve your shooting "slick", that is, without gear or armor. After building a better position, as proven by the results, and learn what "right" feels like, add gear.
Restrictive equipment may force a change or compromise in position, but at least you'll now know what it's supposed to be like and can emulate that more closely.
This is contrary to what drill sergeants say. Go to All Army once and see how poorly they shoot, then ignore them.
It is a popular myth among the misinformed that there is a difference. Fundamental skills apply everywhere. That's why they are "fundamental."
Learn to shoot better. Improved skills equals improved performance anywhere you need to perform.
🍻 this instruction has fixed many subtleties which were causing frustration and poor marksmanship on this end for a long time! Many Thanks & strong work!
+Jax EMT Glad to hear this was helpful.
I learned SO much from this video. Thank you very much for posting it
+ronald reagen You're welcome!
>> We were told never to place the mag on the ground while shooting the M16/M4...
You were told wrong. This will not induce stoppages/malfunctions/jams or any other problems with the M16/M4. In fact, using the magazine for support has been a winning technique at military shooting events that allow no alibis for stoppages for decades now.
There is a full explanation at FUNshoot (dot) com. Search "Shooting with the Magazine on the Ground" for the article.
You're aren't trying to sacrifice position but hits can still be obtained from an less than optimum position if sight alignment and trigger control are solid.
Consistent head position, as determined by cheek weld, helps ensure consistency. The sights are always aligned... somewhere. Getting your head and eye behind the sights in the same place coupled with your natural point of aim on target center makes sure this alignment is where you want it.
look at how young those boys look who are being trained.....They will be men after their training.... God bless them and keep them.... Strength, honor and courage fellas...
America is proud of you....
+Shannon Nunn Thanks!
+Shannon Nunn You realise these aren't in BCT right? They are active duty in the 82nd....
im a simple man. i see an m14, i hit like
Good man🫡
would you agree?
I feel military training like this is absolutely the best way to get the most out of a trainee. I wish the civilian world would invest more into training.
Shoot formally-organized events such as competition and you'll learn all this and more. Civilian or military, everyone benefits from that exposure.
there are training much more superior to the military training for civilians out there. just depends how much money you have
daybreaK
Most "training" is really just instruction. That is, a class introducing concepts. Except for the rank novice, 2-5 days of "training" (instruction) won't appreciably raise skills.
Beyond novice levels, training is organized, on-going effort programmed to systematically raise skills and capabilities. This requires devising the means to measure skills and capabilities to determine if they are increasing.
Most gun owners, military and civilian, never train beyond novice levels. Outside of formal, organized competition few venues exist that push progress beyond introductory levels. Many make the claim but few deliver.
FUNshootVideo academi? magpul dynamics? haleystrategic? and isnt this course 10 days anyway?
FUNshootVideo probably true, but I do think people that have a ccw take it very seriously. I think most of them practice, know their skill level, and know the legal ramifications after a shooting.
"Position Rifle Shooting" by Bill Pullum and Frank T. Hanenkrat. There is a newer version called "The New Position Rifle Shooting: A How-To Text For Shooters And Coaches"
I like this guy so much. He is so open minded and pragmatic.
I would love this guy to be my teacher.
+LUX1111111111111 Yes, Arc is one of the best!
Yes, agreed. The lav mic on my wireless unit doesn't pick up audio much beyond the speaker it's attached to.
Good class very detailed! I'm ready to head back to the range and get some-would you agree? Just messing around, but as a military instructor i trained active and ARNG and seen and heard some stuff. This was a class I wish I could have attended. Good Job! Take the fight to the enemy!
+gc5Hayward It's worth attending organized competitive events. For this type of shooting, find a club hosting High Power and you'll find skilled shooters like this.

>> homeboy on the left was about to put his hands in his pockets
I am certain he was about to momentarily place or retrieve an object from there. Hopefully, this was not the only thing you learned from this instruction. :-) Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed this video so much I hit that subscribe button. Hopefully you will keep up the great work with authentic content. Thank you.
It just means you applied fundamentals better than your classmates :)
Most designated marksman courses are designed to be used with standard issue rifles, sights and ammo. The increased precision is from increased knowledge and application of skill.
Great vid thanks. I took a lot of notes and am going to take them to the range with me. I just built my first AR with 20" barrel and hope to shoot out to 600 yards.
Excellent comprehensive instruction. thanks!
This was very informative
Yes, Arc knows what he's talking about!
yes I would agree!
Great guy Sgt Arc
SFC Arcularius certainly is!
@@FUNshoot he was my instructor/mentor in 05... then I went on to teach at Dix in 08
15 min in. The M-14s mag lock in 2 points on the front and rear. The M-16s mag only lock on one point on the side. The M-14s mag has the least chance of moving vs the M-16. I'd have to disagree with what he said.
Magazine contact while shooting an M16/M4 series or any AR-15 derivative is reliable. It is also officially recommended in Army training doctrine (finally) after decades of successful use in Service Conditions competition.
Indeed I do agree!
Thanks!
Wow. Definitely learned a lot from this video. Thank you. -MA3
16 pound rifle. Yes I’d love to carry that around.
EBR base weight is under 12 pounds (about 5kg). M110 SASS is just over two pounds (1.2 kg) heavier. But your point is taken; neither would be a treat to carry around for days at a time.
Great instruction thanks for uploading.
You're welcome!
looking forward for future videos like this.
This video made my top video list for instructions and i teach people handgun shooting as an nra instructor.
@Alex walker
Outstanding suggestion! I think you just created our new favorite drinking game. :)
Would you agree?
Yes. :-)
I have always shot to the right and this video has improved my shooting.
great info provided here...would you agree?
@ parallax : If you are wearing glasses you probably wont get any optic parallax free because you add a third plane to the game. so eighter you choose to wear contactlenses which I dont or you have so little dioptrin that you can for shooting get rid of your glasses and compensate with your diopter-ring for sharpness. I had not had somebody to explain this to me until I met benchrest competition shooters who are always in the top 5 and not seldom win their competitions and both wear glasses :) No video on tube explains this.
Interesting point. Light passing through any lens causes refraction. The ocular lens of many optical sights can be adjusted such that a person needing corrective lenses can use the scope without their glasses. For example, my uncorrected vision is horrible so I do this with all crew-served night vision optics.
I'm just telling you the experience I had with Army M16s and M4s combined with really shitty mags. Nowadays they got nice Pmags and other mag options, but with the mags they gave us, we'd have a bunch of jams if we put the mag on the deck in the prone and pushed forward on the weapon. These mags were shitty as hell, but you have to understand that it's not a matter of being told one thing or another, it's a matter of us encountering this problem in the field. With good mags, it doesn't matter.
Equipment in poor condition can malfunction. That is a problem with the equipment, not the technique.
@@FUNshoot And good technique works in all conditions with any equipment.
Love my SDM school in Ft Hood!
Agreed
lol, love the "would you agree?" at the end of your comment. Too funny,
What glass is that ?? And ssg is an amazing instructor 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼💪🏼

>> I'm just telling you the experience I had with Army M16s and M4s combined with really shitty mags.
Fair enough! With bad magazines or some other mechanical problem, using the magazine for support certainly can induce a stoppage. Of course, these stoppages may occur without touching the mags at all because the mags were, as you say, shitty.
>> With good mags, it doesn't matter.
Exactly.
sweet memories
taking a jab at the national guard @ 7:45 lol.....
It's all in good fun. The National Guard has very good marksmanship programs and shooters.
The only problem I have with the video is that magazine discussion. We were told never to place the mag on the ground while shooting the M16/M4 because the old magazines we had would rock back and forth so dramatically with the weapon. If you put the rifle on the deck with the mag in the dirt and pushed the weapon forward, it would start to have jams because it'd change the feeding angle of the cartridges. Sometimes you could clear a jam by pulling back on the rifle and it would chamber.
This is a myth.
@@JohnBuol
Well, just telling you what I and others experienced. I think, with an in-spec rifle that's up on annuals and quarterlies, and with quality magazines and ammo, you shouldn't ever experience or expect to see this at all.
These issues did happen, but they happened on well beat-up M16A2s, and really shitty black and green follower mags that were very well-clapped out.
Never saw the issue again with good mags and ammo, and M4s with M4 feed ramps -even though they weren't totally necessary, it certainly wasn't hurting anything.
But this did happen, I'm not lying about it, but again, if your equipment is outdated, used and abused garbage, you just need to replace it with good stuff and you'll be good to go.
I always deployed with Pmags, I'd buy my own before each deployment because the metal mags we were issued were just junk. These days, a lot more units in the Army issue Pmags, and I'm glad to see it. Nobody should ever see this issue with quality shit, monopod on the mag all you want. But if you're in a guard or reserve unit that's got clapped-out mags, this is a possibility.
@@Mr2ndAmendment Very good points. If your equipment is "outdated, used, and abused garbage" then that is the real problem and is unacceptable even in a training environment, never mind a deployment.
1.2k people would agree.
Hey FUNshootVideo this was very interesting. Do you have any more footage of this course, or any others for that matter?
+WhoWouldWantThisName Just what's in our account. Check out USARvideo as well.
+FUNshootVideo Thanks, I will.
Great video thanks
You're welcome. Info applies to any rifle, not just the EBR.
>> WOULD YOU AGREE?
Well played.
Outstanding! Thanks for posting
Sorry I'm late, guys. Yes, I do.
outstanding video!
Thanks!
Nicely explained those 4 fundamentals ..
+Mohammad Jahangir Yes. Top team shooters are quite good at this.
room fulla badasses right there
I stick with both answers as both are correct.
The rifle used isn't nearly as important as the shooter using it.
Great instructions ...
great teacher.
@23:50 I agree brother. Stop propagating ignorance. If the sights are not aligned, then you will not have precision on any level.
Thank you for posting :)
Awesome! Thanks for the reply. Now if only it were available on kindle....
>> Just curious, is this instruction intended for combat or competition?
Yes.
AAH!! He failed to follow Safety Rule #1 NEVER POINT YOUR BARREL AT ANYTHING THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO DESTROY!
Scott Raisch Demonstrations of aiming a rifle require aiming the rifle at something. Sorry. No walls were injured in the making of this video.
Guess I should have included the part of the class I did not record when we cleared and disabled the rifles prior. Nah, wouldn't have mattered.
,I get it brother, just having a little fun. But still, it could have been aimed where there wasn't a soldier sitting in front of it
Scott Raisch No worries! I promise we didn't hurt any paratroopers.
However, immediately after this class during their deployment to Afghanistan, these Designated Marksmen did hurt plenty aggressors. We know because they told us in thanks.
Actually, I do understand that point, thoroughly. And accidents can happen to even the best of us.
Scott Raisch take the bolt/firing pin out
You're welcome!
SAME THING IN A RAPID FIRE STRING. LOOK AT YOUR FRONT SIGHT FOR PERFECT ALIGNMENT THEN LOOK DOWN RANGE AND THEN YOU GO BACK TO THE FRONT SIGHT DON'T LOOK DOWN RANGE AGAIN STAY ON THE FRONT SIGHT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STRING OF SHOTS.
i knew what he was going to say before he said it
This is real truth and they didn't use it during my enlistments. I wouldn't have had to shoot the guys targets next to me on the range had they properly trained them. Was it ignorance or did they just not give a damn then?
>> Was it ignorance or did they just not give a damn then?
Yes. Unfortunately, this sometimes remains true.
I'm a pretty terrible shot but hopefully I can get better before I enlist, I'm only 15 though, but this really helps thank you
We have members of our team that went Distinguished in their teens before they were old enough to enlist. You can do it too!
FUNshootVideo try a bb rifle. Good for trigger practice and let's you avoid development of flinch
Listen to the first comment "position is a luxury". That should answer you.
200 yards standing is child's play 🤣
Marksman Squad
excellent thanks
I want to go to this school ))
MMTC is a current school and it's good. Until you can attend, use this:
www.usar.army.mil/Commands/Functional/ARMU/Resources/PostalMatch/
@@FUNshoot thnks but I mean the times when I was in the classic school learning math and physics ))
What was the book mentioned about the 37-38 minute mark regarding biomechanics? Bill pullens positions?
I noticed when I shot the .45 1911 I was better at 50ft than 25... that tells me I have a problem... even though its a pistol you have the same difference. Maybe I'm wrong.
Describe the problem
+Eagle2Six only you have this porblem, I NEVER HEAR OF THIS SHIT BEFOR OR PUT ON YOUR GLASS.
How do I attend the SDM school
SDM courses are not a DA 1059 course with Additional Skill Identifier. The AMU (active) NGMTU (National Guard), and Army Reserve have hosted various classes over the years.
Best bet would be to contact ngmtc.wordpress.com/
I like this video! Would you agree?
Thank you!
I wasn't making an argument that they weren't, only that your insulting condescension is unwarranted.
Good class
Thanks!
>> how much does one of those rifles weigh with all the attachments?
About 12 pounds.
Search TH-cam for "M14EBR-RI Enhanced Battle Rifle" for a video with more info.
Brevity is the soul of wit. Should've stuck with your original answer; it was far less condescending and insulting and conveyed everything you needed for a great answer in one word.
What IF I don't agree?
No EBR for you! :-)
@@FUNshoot Come back 1 year! Next!
Hi, I'm enlisting in the Army and I ship in January. I see that the slides before the video say "Army Reserve" but I was wondering if there was anything like this class on the Active side, also if this was just a one time event, or if it's constantly going?
The class is for Designated Marksmen that happen to be using the EBR. Fundamentals are the same for everyone, Reserve, Active, military or competition shooters alike.
In the active component, the Army Marksmanship Unit conducts similar courses. Both the AMU and USAR Mobile Training Team offers these courses regularly.
D Day Go..
By putting this great tutorial on the internet aren't we effectively teaching our enemies basic marksmanship fundamentals?
Joe SikiAll firearm fundamental skills were originally developed in open competition, making the knowledge open source.
Just curious, is this instruction intended for combat or competition?
Yes.
sorry dude.. avg adult human head is 10-11.
You know?
This is too much work. Fuck sniping, give me an M4 with a CCO and leave me be. But seriously this was an awesome presentation and thank you for posting it.
Can we all agree to disagree
Say what you disagree with and we'll discuss that.
So what happens if you shoot an M14 off the magazine??
This usually does not cause any problems. Especially with AR-15s, it is perfectly reliable to do this.
Didn't answer my question. Will it induce a malfunction or break the magazine?
No. It won't induce a malfunction or break a magazine. This usually does not cause any problems. Like with AR-15s, it is perfectly reliable to do this.
