That "Earn your shot" exercise is excellent. But I think inexperienced people should go through dry "crawl, walk, run" phases before going in live fire. It can be a great training session or a disastrous one. Great video MOJO!
The "Earn your shot" Drill is superb. It requires a lot of practice to get clean and safe runs. Make sure to practice this dry with your partner prior to going live. It can def be a bit dangerous for the inexperienced.
It hurts my heart about your recent work situation. Seeing you posting regular content makes me very thankful. Your spirit, your insight, your guidance are greatly needed for many in the coming days. I hope every good thing for you, Don. We're in your corner.
I'm overjoyed he got fired. Less extremists in law enforcement and the military is a sure way to ensure our people and our democracy thrive. We need more of these firings across our police departments.
@@felixdewinter3484 exactly. They want to protect people against crime but not against a virus. They’re in it for the power trip, not to protect people.
@@SideWays8Productions I mean, cops have always been in it to enforce the law, never to protect and serve. That's an LAPD slogan that the LAPD never adhered to. Once you accept that law enforcement do what their job title says, which is enforce the law, it opens your eyes to what these people truly are, agents of the state with powers that are not afforded to civilians i.e. arresting powers and in some cases legal protections when engaging in killing. And this dude ceasing to be an agent of the state is in my opinion a great thing because he's an extremist who can't be trusted with the powers he used to have given to him over us. That's why I keep saying it's a great thing he got fired and we need more firings like this to go on across all the police departments in America.
@@thejoatmoo sure, he’s just an idiot for getting fired this way. He was already on the wrong side of history with his past associations with extremists, this is just the most noticeable and probably the most idiotic one.
This take some real skilled people that has communication skills and trust someone that’s mutually skilled to train with Because i can’t imagine doing this drill with someone that’s new that doesn’t have the skills… most likely I’ll be shot during this drill which is very dangerous This is a whole new level of training as a skilled team It is dangerous for newbies with no or little skill This is a great video with a very critical drill Mojo always bring the best 👌🏽🇺🇸
Shooting with a buddy is a like becoming fluent in a foreign language. Getting that communication as concise as possible and comprehending the meaning & acting on the intent, without having to take the 'second stop' of translating it to your native tongue. Great stuff!
@11:34. They were both reloading at the same time, (Which in and of itself is not really a bad thing) The problem is one of them called out “cold”. Now, I don’t remember the names of both of them so I will just use a person A and person B as examples. (By the way, this is my opinion, I don’t do a lot of drills nor have I ever been in a real life fighting situation to know if it applies or not) Let’s say it was person A who said cold while person B was the one who was also cold, and heard that person A called out cold. In that case, I believe person B should immediately swap to his secondary so they at least have some control on the target instead of both of them fumbling to try and get their weapon ready. If both of them are trying to beat the other one in time, (not in a competition manner but more so to make sure that they get their weapon back on target) Then they increase the amount of errors they can make because they don’t have control of the target and they know that they’re objective is to get control on the target. It made sense to me to handle it in this way but I would very much like the opinion of anybody else to know if what I’m saying makes sense or not, if you made it this far into the comment… Thank you. 🙂
Makes sense. It also makes sense, that when you start a reload to finish. Not drop your mag, pull a fresh one....realise your buddy is cold.... drop fresh mag.. swap to pistol. Of course, if you & your buddy are fighting & reloading without cover.. you wont be for long.
@@geebeaux I think they should start their drill with acknowledging who the wingman is. As in, if the wingman is aware that he and The person he is a wingman to are both empty, then he should be the one to draw his secondary to allow his partner to reload first, after that the wingman could proceed when the primary person is locked and loaded, Or vice versa. Irregardless of who is the one to do so, it should be noted by them that if we are ever in a situation like this I reload while you draw your secondary. Therefore they know what to do when the situation arises.
@@thejoatmoo Of course I believe roles can change, I still think it’s important in order to teach someone how to communicate either when they are above someone or under someone. I think I put it in one of my comments that “communication is key in this situation”. So long as they can communicate with each other in a manner where they’re not both empty and trying to reload at the same time, that’s the important thing. I’m not really caring which one is person A and person B, because those positions can change depending on the situation. But on the same token it is still important for one of them to start off in one of these positions, because if it does come time for them to change roles, if they don’t know what position they were originally holding how can I know which position to change to. As I said in my previous comment, I haven’t really dealt in any situations like this in real life so this is me just talking as an idea and I’m hoping to get better clarification to know how to think through this process. Thank you.
Suggestion for the targets? Make a field goal target bracket. Center stick vertical One horizontal stick Two vertical sticks along the sides. Total of 4 sticks.
That was some good stuff guys. You hit the nail on the head when you talked about being able to see your partner and communicating. Those are real important when situations gets real.
Rehearsing this with airsoft, as someone else mentioned, sounds like a great workaround for mitigating risks but still practicing the movement and communication.
Drills like the one at the end I feel like are especially important for practicing what it may actually be like to engage dynamic targets and is better off done now as practice than learned in danger under fire. Glad you share your knowledge its important and can definitely make an impact. glhf
This is a good video. If you haven't already watched it, the UF PRO channel has a very good video on earning your shot and how to operate in teams of 2 or more that I would encourage anyone to watch
A malfunctions drills are great, but an upgrade I found that helps keep a weapons system up during malfunctions is the “REDI-CATCH”. It is not perfect, but is a 100% better than working malfunctions from a standard configuration. It is a cheap upgrade I do to all my AR systems.
Excellent work, gentlemen. However, a better way to go about this is to have someone else load your mags and then have them add a dummy round in there to count as a malfunction. That way, it will legitimately come as a surprise and bring forth a genuine sense of urgency.
I miss living in Washington has so many dispersed shooting spots like this where you can do all your drills and shooting, in Colorado now an a lot harder to find spots out here.
Yeah, this is fine, but you really have to trust the person you're shooting with. I can understand why this type of training would be restricted to highly trained individuals and teams. There's simply too great a chance of a friendly fire incident, and when the tolerance for those types of incidents is zero, you simply can't do this with a lot of people who typically should be able to handle themselves. I've never seen anything like this in the military. They simply wouldn't allow it. If you're at a FOB or your part of a rapid response or SF team I could see this possibly being done. The rotating targets would be fun though. It'd be nice if you could set a timer on the controller and would it randomly rotate the targets. That, along with movement and cover, would be really good training. Great content Mojo!
Brother that "earn your shot" exercise is sick! I wish we had the facility to train that at my department. we've been training our new recruits in this but not live of course. I'm definitely borrowing that malfunction drill. Beats using dummie rounds. Great stuff...This is am awesome channel! Keep up the good work!!!
@@thejoatmoo Thank you very much for your response. Quick question, if all variables are the same, same rifle setup and zeroing distance, will my holds be the same as the next person or will each person have different holds depending on how their eyes are? Thank you.
I really appreciate the content you put out to help new shooters like me to improve. Really taking in all the tips and working on my shots. Hope to gain the skills someday with enough practice and discipline
Mojo will you please do a video on the new magazine ban here in wa ? Maybe just giving details on it how it will effect buying new guns or at least just your take on it ! Please mojo you have a big following an are effected by this encroachment on our 2A rights. Thanks for all the great videos
Another great video, gotta train more on a flat range. Indoor Ranges are the only thing close to me but still doing what I can to train, plus a bunch of dry fire drills🤙🏻
I’m assuming you’re talking about after you bring the rifle back up. You’re correct; they’re looking at the ejection port to see what’s happening (slide lock or malfunction basically).
I was wondering if you could do more videos on the alien gear duty holster as to pistols compatible. I am searching and the holster has my attention after you showed the 2011 holstered in the alien gear duty holster
Seen the title and already know this is legit. Anyone who plans on carrying a firearm, they need to understand this for sure. "Earn the shot" is a concept everyone should practice
I love your videos and your training style. But your best content is on others channels. Can you do a comprehensive pistol fundamentals for average folks?
That first drill really makes me appreciate being a southpaw. I don't have to guess what the malfunction is or wiggle fingers around blindly when the ejection port is within eyesight and in my workspace. I wish i had areas like this to train though, all we got here are 25yrd indoor shooting ranges. no rapid fire, 1 person per booth. terrible.
No he is just covering the ejection port preventing the round from ejecting…. When Mojo did it he held the dust cover closed but you can just block it with anything and make that round stay in
I would suggest on the "earn your shot" drill, rather than saying "Im on your right".. just repeat the "target left" csll. Your partner will hear your voice, and know where you are, and not be confused by a "left" and "right" call.
What are your thoughts on a BAD Lever in these scenarios? I understand the concerns that some have with them, but I also feel that they can be utilized without compromising safety, and that it is largely a matter of training and technique.
You know, it may be a blessing your department let you go. After what Washington state House passed to banned "high" capacity mags, cops are going to have to enforce. Maybe it's time to move to greener pastures like Texas?
@Milspec_mojo Do an everything dry fire video please! All there is to learn from you about dry fire, packed into one video.. exercises/drills, what targets to use, how far, placement, ect...
That "Earn your shot" exercise is excellent. But I think inexperienced people should go through dry "crawl, walk, run" phases before going in live fire. It can be a great training session or a disastrous one. Great video MOJO!
👈 I think that would be me. 😃
I'm trying to think of how many people I shoot with that I would trust to run this drill....we need more training
At minimum if the person wants to go hot id let them do airsoft before ever going live. That's just my thought though.
The "Earn your shot" Drill is superb. It requires a lot of practice to get clean and safe runs. Make sure to practice this dry with your partner prior to going live. It can def be a bit dangerous for the inexperienced.
That's where airsoft would be a great training tool to work your way up to live fire. Worst that happens is you give your buddy some pain.

I watched a lot of his videos I wish I could have mojo train me. Respect you are the man!
That 2 man scanning and communication drill set is pretty sweet. I really like how much is getting worked using those targets
Its such good idea to debrief what everybody learned/observed/comments/questions. It's such a good example of learning from everyone.
A malfunctions drills are great, but an upgrade I found that helps keep a weapons system up during malfunctions is the “REDI-CATCH”. It is not perfect, but is a 100% better than working malfunctions from a standard configuration. It is a cheap upgrade I do to all my AR systems.

Nice drill Mojo!!!
EYS drill is money: shooting at changing targets at varying distances, footwork, coordinated movement, communication, cognitive engagement, etc…def a start slow event
Excellent work, gentlemen. However, a better way to go about this is to have someone else load your mags and then have them add a dummy round in there to count as a malfunction. That way, it will legitimately come as a surprise and bring forth a genuine sense of urgency.

Best part of being left handed is being able to seeing the ejection port right in your face. Also the worst part 😏
Maybe consider having your buddies load your mag with some live and a dummy rnd, and run it
