Thank you for that "rule of thumb" with canted weapons. I have been taught to shoot like that, but always sweated doing the mental math to make it work at distance. That is a lot easier.
Karl- Not bad for a sweaty, elderly man with bad knees. Top notch video bud. Covered everything from construction through keeping low return fire profiles. Important stuff to navigate because pew pew targets usually don't shoot back. Noticed you also still maintain a high edge SAFE on/off protocol even though you talk more than humanly possible. Outstanding effort young man. *****
Karl’s disgust with pew pew guys is real during this video 😆😂😆😂 definitely have to check out those stands. Looks nicer than just using 2x4s. Thanks guys.
Another great video! These unconventional techniques are definitely a valuable tool to keep in my toolbox! Thanks again for all the great information!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good stuff. Thanks Karl. Always enjoyed and thought the old car and barricade videos with Rob were top notch and above anything else on TH-cam. This is the real deal.
Even in force-on-force or hell just even airsoft, it's plain to see that you almost have more irregular barricades than conveniently straight up-and-down thresholds. Love how you nailed it on the car's A-post and C-post, great illustration of how angle of engagement changes everything.
Nice demo glad you covered this so many out there don't. Though this is a younger man's game. I'll be the guy hanging back covering the base for your safe return. I'm past the door kicking stage. But I certainly agree with everything you have pointed out here.
As I watch your you tube articles they get Better and better I am planing on joining you on patreon. I take my firearm training vary serious. THANK YOU
Karl, another awesome video here, thanks for the tips... things like this slip the mind easy when there are so many things to train on.. People need that good awkward shooting stance training more than they realize... Time to put this back in the regime for a bit.. lol thanks much...
Excellent video. Last minutes I was a little distracted cause I was afraid Karl would take a shot from behind the Impala. (Impala+paint+muzzle=havoc) :)
This video is solid gold truth. I do wish however, for the sake of visual articulation that a way to record the optic/reticule while shooting with the rifle rolled over were possible (as a advanced training aid*)
Great stuff! I’ve been really getting into defensive training, thinking about building some barricades for my range but I didn’t exactly know what all I should build. I know simulate real life situations, real life barriers.. But a very good & important point I picked up here is, well what is a real life situation? Behind a barrier with the bad guy(s) out in the open? That’s what we all hope for, but probably not realistic. A real life situation is likely not going to be comfortable, practical, or in your favor. And I’ve picked up that that’s something that isn’t always thought about as much as it should be in my opinion. So when I do build my barriers ive now got a few ideas to implement multiple unique uncomfortable positions, impractical positions, and positions that simply would not be in my favor in a real life situation. And I hope that others will think about doing the same. It’s much better to be prepared and never need it then to be unprepared and need it that one time.. But some good info here! If you ever do something like this again I’d love to see some demonstrations of what you think some real life situations would look like. For example, you walk around a corner and there’s a guy with a gun that appears to be involved in some kind of illegal activity and now your his center of attention. What do you do? Take cover & evaluate the situation? Immediately draw & shoot? Try to talk some sense into him? I think a lot of people could learn from this! Keep up the great work!
I've been going out in the thick forest on my family's property and practicing around trees and branches at various heights. But I've been wanting to build some barricades. Also have a couple broke down cars out on my range on the property I do a lot with. Thanks karl
Also u can practice shooting barricades with airsoft to save on ammo. Another way airsoft can apply to real world training. Shooting positions with rifle
@@50shadesofcerakote I've tried the games but I haven't found a group of kids I can stand being around long enough. But I've done it with my ol lady shooting at me while I try to group on cardboard. With airsoft of course
Great Stuff Karl !!! Real world situations~ positions. That's when you get a rental w/ insurance or ask Chad to drive !! LOL !!! Stay Strong and Be Safe !!!
Old video, one i miss, is the white car for sale an im thinking someone swap wheels cause they cone with twenties and them were fifteen inch wheels, lol good video
@@thotlinemiami6627 well, if the optic is canted, you'd zero the canted optic, right? it's just, when you cant your rifle like you're doing here anyway, you bring the other optic into play, and you're good to go. i guess the angle you have to use would have to be about the same as the canted optic.
Posthole digger 2'foot deep 6"inch schedule 40 pvc pipe use 4×4 wood posts to support barricades eliminate trip obstacles and need to stand on barricades possibly hindering performance
That’s a awesome idea for permanent or even semi-permanent locations. However, besides having to take them to guest ranges for classes, we have found that we like to easily move them around quickly, to change drills and scenarios. Thanks for watching, TR
@@TacticalRiflemancontemplated in my thought as well still some more effort for a lot more safety, maybe add quick release fat dolly wheels. posthole digger fastest dig deep tool endless uses, I keep post hole digger in zombie patrol truck with farm jack
Shooting around the barriers was the best part of your class sir. On a side note Why didn’t you show Chad’s signature on the back of the one Barrier? 😈 and man that rifle looks sexy
Excellent and informative as usual Karl! Have you ever thought of painting different colors or using numbers around the shapes in the plywood? That way you could help make it a mental training tool as well? So say you have a shooter and a caller. Your objective as the shooter could be to focus on only the numbers the caller shouts out. He says yellow 4, red 2, blue 7, when in reality the plywood is actually pink 4, brown 2, black 7. It could help add a mental aspect to it all as well.
Tee shirt idea: Kraken tactical knife (with TR logo) on the front and on the back should read "I want that to sink in"....😉 good Karlizm👍🇺🇸 great video TR!
@@treygrogan13 competitive paintball (google speedball) is really it’s own animal. I’d say it evolved in parallel with these shooting techniques, since there’s not really much if any overlap in practitioner base. But the concept of shoot without getting shot applies to both so I guess it makes sense that the techniques are similar
Dont just look at these barricades as out door barriers but they can be indoor barriers, looking into another room or through another rooms window to outside.
AMEN Brother Karl!! There’s NOTHING worse than a “Know it All” that doesn’t really know anything!!! Pew Pew or Compition shooting is NOTHING like Combat…. And I’ll bet any amount of money if anyone can prove that a mortor round / rpg hole in a building is always a perfect square or circle and never elongated horizontally or diagonally!!
Hey Karl, how many rounds will the engine block/wheels actually take? I get that they're the best cover on the vehicle, but will they realistically stop being such in a prolonged engagement, like how cinder blocks break down?
You have to remember the engine block or wheels are not solid blocks of steel, they will take some rounds but longer it takes the more chances there is for a stray round to find a softer gap and go trough
Honestly I have never seen an engine block or rear hub fail... not even on Range targets. Theoretically, they should eventually fail. However, even with repeated shots in the same spot, as the metal deforms, it sends Bullets into different directions where fresh steel is. Again, they eventually fail, but I’ve never heard of it happening except from larger calibers. They reason to move and stay mobile, is not that the cover will fail; rather the reason is that the enemy will maneuver and flank your position. Thanks for watching, TR
"Just long-winded me, and all the voices in my head." ...,and that is all the sounds and voices we need. Thanks Karl! :)

Last time I tried “gun yoga” using Zee’s video, the neighbors call the cops to my backyard. I’ve got to get to a range for this one. Thanks Karl
Karl’s disgust with pew pew guys is real during this video 😆😂😆😂 definitely have to check out those stands. Looks nicer than just using 2x4s. Thanks guys.
The price on those barricade stands is outrageous. Fortunately they look extremely easy to make.
I made one yesterday! It’s not hard at all with some basic power tools and some time🤙🏻
Good sh!t guys. Anyone who does not believe this is practical, has never been in a real fire fight. Thanks TR team!!
A vehicle is not cover.
Another great video! These unconventional techniques are definitely a valuable tool to keep in my toolbox! Thanks again for all the great information!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸
Another great episode of "Common Sense by Tactical Rifleman"
I like the two rectangular barricades idea, easy to stow in a smaller car.
Good stuff. Thanks Karl. Always enjoyed and thought the old car and barricade videos with Rob were top notch and above anything else on TH-cam. This is the real deal.
Love these types of videos Karl, this is where you and Tactical Rifleman shine.
Really good info nuggets in this one. Hadn't realized where the 45 degree slots came from but makes sense. Thank you!
Even in force-on-force or hell just even airsoft, it's plain to see that you almost have more irregular barricades than conveniently straight up-and-down thresholds. Love how you nailed it on the car's A-post and C-post, great illustration of how angle of engagement changes everything.
A BIG THANK YOU!
Excellent explanation of the realistic use of barricade training. Something I need to start doing.
Thanks for your service and the great video.
Great info setting up my tange now i will add this to it thanks for all you do to help people God Bless
Great stuff. Time for a trip to Lowe’s! Thanks Karl!
Love the no-bull-s***, common sense advice on this channel.
I'm in the process of building my own range, and really appreciate your input. Thanks
Glad to help
Badass video thank you for real advice with no bullshit filler!!
Thanks for the breakdown on this! Super helpful!
Thanks for saying things that the two dozen other barrier instructional videos I've watched did not say. Good stuff!
Glad it was helpful!
Great info!! Well-thought-out explanations, good stuff. Thanks for posting. And ill be going to get some plywood this weekend 👍
As always, excellent instruction and advice from professionals. Thanks guys.
This channel ROCKS. Great training advice from basics of cover and concealment up to hand to hand techniques and everything in between. Awesome. 😎
Most excellent. No theory. Just Been There, Done That.
Another nice Job Karl, you are a great communicator! Keep safe and shoot straigth 😉 👍
I am a bodyman 30 yrs and he is spot on on his car barrier knowledge this dude is the real fuckin deal
Nice demo glad you covered this so many out there don't. Though this is a younger man's game. I'll be the guy hanging back covering the base for your safe return. I'm past the door kicking stage. But I certainly agree with everything you have pointed out here.
Never though about aiming high when horizontal… good call out
This is a superb video. Thank you. From vtac fabrication to training points it was exactly the intro primer I was looking for. Thanks so much!!👍👍

So much great info thank you and have a safe weekend!
Can just give one like but another bumper on the algorithm. up up. (btw very well done with the RL example and the angle on the Impala.)
Glad you liked it!
Awesome stuff. Just built a vtac barrier
Excellent video as always dude! Great points!!

May god always be by your side my friend.

Man, that “gun yoga” part got me.
Nice video as always. edit- was going to ask about the optic but see below it's a Sig you are testing out...
Good Stuff! Thanks Karl
Excellent 👍
10:00
sounds like a good time to take advantage of a secondary canted optic...?
It’s kind of the same thing if it were on top cause you still need to compensate for the barrel not hitting what’s infront of you.
@@thotlinemiami6627 well, if the optic is canted, you'd zero the canted optic, right? it's just, when you cant your rifle like you're doing here anyway, you bring the other optic into play, and you're good to go.

Hi Karl uncle. What is the name of technic you aplicate on 7:36 . thank u so much.
It’s crazy how much advanced shooting from barricades resembles professional paintball
perhaps because paintball has been modeled after the military, or am i wrong?

I’d say it evolved in parallel with these shooting techniques, since there’s not really much if any overlap in practitioner base.

2 .5 inches high 2 inch windage at 100 yards with 223/ 5.56 non sbr.
Price if the MGMtarget legs is now $233 a set. Much cheaper to build with wood or PVC.
Great video though and awesome training info.
Thanks for the info! That’s pretty high. I need 3 more, so I might have to try another brand
Great video
Very informative!
Looking forward to your Tactical Combat Yoga dvd set 📀 Karl. I’ll wear some Tactical Rifleman yoga pants while I practice it lol
Great training vid!
Look at Karl breaking out the big words on us like aerodynamic
Felt like i was watching a Nutnfancy video at first... lol j/k great video
That was rude lol
