- In this video Raj takes us through shooting in some unconventional shooting positions. If you shoot 3-gun competitions, you’ve seen more and more of the matches including at least one or two stages requiring you to shoot with your weapon at odd angles from odd shooting positions. Why are they do that? Just to make the match harder or to mess with the shooters? Well, yes, partly; but it is also because our warfighters are finding themselves using these odd positions to shoot overseas. Once a building has been hit by 50 cals and 25mm chain guns, there are lots of really great loopholes to shoot from. However, these holes never seem to be the right height for a comfortable shooting position. Hence the need to practice alternate firing positions for shooting from behind cover.
Raj does a great job explaining the different techniques for the different angles. While that barricade wall isn’t pretty, it is a great training tool. You can run a quick search on the internet and you’ll find plans for making your own. I can’t stress enough how important it is to practice with a plywood wall in a safe training environment, before you find yourself shooting these positions on a concrete or metal wall.
So, watch Raj’s video a few times. Learn the techniques and his thought process behind them. Then, get your ass out to the range and try the techniques out. Learn where you need to hold to get those rounds on target. It just might save the 3-Gun match for you. It also might just save your life. Remember, knowledge is power. Anyone can aim a gun through an opening in a wall; but can you hit what you are aiming at? That separates the winners from losers.

"There ain't shit I can do about it from here besides die."
archaic_noob that dude is the best.
That was classic! It cracked me up.
I love the way my man is, after the shots, checking for target status, then close proximity scan, then weapon status (looking into the bolt quickly), then scan to the rear. .this man is welllllll trained folkes!
Those are range theatrics buddy. Doing it for the camera.
@Hugh Mungus that is an inaccuratism taught through institutional inbreeding... Pat Mac
You had me at "To infinity and beyond." But you earned a sub with the Boondock Saints reference. Thumbs way up.
Cool drill!
Thanks for watching, TR
@@TacticalRifleman good channel about tactics and weapons.
I loved the boondock saints joke
Oh shit another one
Awesome shit! Got Me subbed! Keep uploading 👍🏽
Mad respect!!! Raj rocks!!! Just curious...what is Raj’s background? Would love to find out which branch and unit he came from!!!
Raj was A Marine. I believe Force Recon, but I don’t know which exactly
Shooting from standing position from the left side of your barricade: why did you step out and expose your entire body when you can keep 1/2-2/3 of your lower body behind then barricade and simply lead out at the waist to take the shot(s)???
Should have been rule of the wrist.
How i build a cover like this for me? Do you guys have the sizes of the holes and others features?
if you run a Internet search for images of "Shooting Barricades," you will find several websites that list exact dimensions for building your own barricades.
Tactical Rifleman thanks!
Watching to implement during pubg matches
If the gun is tilted why does the bullet go "left and down?" Wouldn't it go up and down just as usual?
Its cause of the way the gun is zeroed, if the sight is on top of the gun, the bullet will go up and down, but when the gun is tilted to the side 90 degrees, the sight will be zeroed to the way that the bullet will go left or right and down .
no.. its how the barrel is in relation to the grip. theres a slight upward pitch, very slight, to compensate for gravity. if the gun is sideways, the gravity affects it differently, pulling the bullet 'sideways' instead of downward.
It's perspective. You rotate the weapon and your head so your reference frame changes in relation to the real world. Don't over-think it, get on the range and prove it to yourself, then just accept it because when chips are down you won't have time to work out the equations.
The gun is pointed in the direction of the scope so that the two converge when the gun is held vertically. So the gun is pointed up relative to the scope. The bullet goes up and then gravity pulls it down.
If you hold the gun sideways, then it just moves left or right in the direction of the scope and gravity starts pulling it down. There is no rise.
Applying this in Pubg. Lol
Who parked his car at the end of the range ? 😁
I notice that lol
It’s 300yards target ;)
I noticed that (near the end of the video) when you came around the corner of your "cover" you didn't tuck your elbow, and your leg from the knee down was exposed.
In simunitions/non-lethal force on force training I've seen a lot of elbows, feet and knees hit.
In those situations it just means you're "out," or they scored a hit. But with live rounds, an ankle or elbow hit could mean loss of mobility or use of an arm.
That has caused me to be careful about keeping my elbow tucked, feet/knees behind cover, and reducing as much exposed "me" as possible while still being on target.
I do recognize that in some situations/terrain this may affect ones base or Ballance.
I'm wondering if the advantages of doing this are outweighed by some other aspect that I'm not recognizing?
Is there a reason why you don't tuck your elbow when coming around the corner, and why you don't keep your lower leg behind the cover until you've committed to move from behind the cover?
Also, PLEASE do not take my comment as criticism or "armchair operatoring"!
I fully acknowledge that I may be hyperfocused on something that is an insignificant issue.
(Although I do prefer to keep my elbows/knees/feet free of holes)
When I see so many well trained, experienced, professionals doing it as you have nd I see you do it here, I am NOT AT ALL thinking "you're doing it wrong, I know better."
I'm thinking, "I know why "I" do tuck my elbow/lower leg, but what am I missing here? What do they know that I don't, that causes them to NOT bother doing that?"
So, my comment/question is NOT judgment/criticism, it is honestly a question and attempt to learn and improve.
Likely because he doesnt have anyone shooting at him. If they were actively engaging him and he was behind cover its best to stay behind cover. These videos are always going to be situational or circumstantial. Very little will translate
3:45 "like a Laaazzer" ok Dr. Evil 😂
"its called the broke-back... look it up."
Finally someone showing the reason and proper way for this drill. To make you aware of sight over bore and how to manipulate your weapon to engage without getting a face full of concrete. Just got done watching viking tactical muzzle fucking everyone of those holes. He completely missed the entire reason this training tool exists. Great job explaining and showing how to. Not much of a fan of the doggie style fighting position though. Makes you very vulnerable to every direction other than the one you are engaging to. You would be better off on your side. From your side you can quickly defend against all directions. Everything else was spot on keep it up.
Very good point about "flagging" your position with the rifle barrel when shooting behind cover. I see so many videos where the shooter props his rife against or on top of the cover to help stabilize the shot. It's a very hard habit to break. Great video!
Holy shit it's Buzz Lightyear... 4:08
I couldn't stop laughing at the brokeback position - very funny !
Hey thank you for posting these videos. For the guys on the basic infantryman side; it adds more to our tool box. It's a shame we can't get some better training because of funding. By you adding these videos, we can teach our jr's and become a better gunslinger. Thank you.
2/5 fox, Jerry Garcia-
Glad they help out. That's the whole point of starting Tactical Rifleman to begin with... helping others learn from our mistakes and successes. Raj (in video) was a Marine Infantryman, and I started my career as an 11Bravo, before I went 18 Series. Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR.
Broke back... Bahahaha
Kyle lamb coined it
"Why do they call it the 'broke back position' ?" 7:00
"oh"
This false theory of rising bullets is based on the conception that a bullet will spin UP WARD due to centrifugal forces and atmospheric conditions, but I got a New flash for you. The bullet does not know the top of the gun from the right or left of the gun. If this misconception would be true, the bullet would ALAWAYS rise no matter if the gun is sideways or upside down. To think that a rotating cylinder will leave the bore of an other twisted cylinder thru which it is traveling and know which way is up down or left and right is silly. Their is no top or bottom to a perfect cylinder, aka rifle barrel. There is no top or bottom or left or right for the bullet when leaving the barrel. The only thing that denotes top from bottom For Us are the sights for sight reference. The bullet could care less because it is designed to fly straight until gravity pulls it down irregardless if it is fired even from and "upside down" barrel (if there could be such a thing).
So in other words you are saying that bullet somehow knows on what degree (out of 360) the sights are placed on, in regards to that perfect cylindrical barrel and from there it determines its flight plan always raising its trajectory according to the sight position in that precise degree of angle in which the manufacturer decided to place the sight on the barrel... come on your smarter than that.
Ask any gun manufacturers if they have to take this into account when milling barrel for rifles.
"Ummmm what's the top part of this cylinder, so we know which way the bullet will rise and that way put the sights on the top"
We dont want to place does sight on the bottom of this perfect cylinder and have the bullets spin downwards......
SMH.
Simple, take the barrel off your rifle and look down the bore while you spin it and if after spinning it for 10,11, 12 times you can tell me the exact location of the front sight in regards to the floor by just looking down the bore and not at the sight itself then I'll believe your "bullet rising" talk.
Why? Because that is exactly what the bullet sees as it travels the bore and guess what it does not care if the sight is to the right,left or bottom it will fly straight.
this is so true. idk why some people keep thinking 'bullets are gonna rise upwards'.
bullets are never gonna go higher than barrel's axis
@@Mk12ModH
You got it!
The bullet will rise, but due to initial muzzel rise, not due to flight trajectory.
I can't tell you how many times I've handed my rifle over to someone with shorter arms than me or improper form and the poi changes for them.
It is user "error" (better said user efficiency) not bullet rise.
You can prove this by either adding more weight to the forward end of your rifle or by simply moving your grip forward. Both will control muzzel rise and change your poi. Simple.
I see we have a boondock saints and Austin powers fan here... also great stuff. I never trained all that much on shooting with these so it’s nice to get a bit of instruction on it
Thanks for watching, TR
Haha love the boondock saints reference! 😂😂
Wow. Your videos are excellent. Across the board from content, formatting, editing and narration; super high quality stuff worthy of the History or Discovery Channel or the like. Only a matter of time before your subs start climbing. Keep on it.
You guys are the best. Thanks for the tips and tricks, dos and don'ts, I'm a sheriffs deputy and it may one day save another deputy's life or even my own. Thanks greatly. Stay safe and God Bless.
Thanks for watching, and thank you for your service. TR
Awesome that last technique ... coming out of cover making a complete 180% turn that what I would have done (because I’m a rookie) :) ... I learned something new (shooting coming out of cover) thank you :)
I appreciate the Boondock saints references 👍🏼
Excellent! Thank you so much. You're giving me a bit of a crash course for writing, enough for a rough draft. Appreciate the time it took to make this vid. :)
The best defense for a stationary position is to set up fake barricades that you can shoot the enemy through when they go up against them.
I have never done any shooting like this but it was interesting to see and hear your views on it. Thanks for sharing.
🇺🇸👍I've shot this with an ar-15 platform. Rifle 1-4 i wonder how different it would be with an m1a..i would like to do rifle 1-4 with an m1a.THANKS good information
Love this channel
This Chanel needs more subs
been doing this exercise with my setup made out of plywood as well for awhile now it a very fun to do these drills at the range.
Perhaps it should have been rule of wrist
Great video. your channel is about to explode with Subs if you keep putting out quality like this.
Thanks, we are looking forward to the explosion! We put out a video every Friday so keep coming back. Strength and Honor, TR
Because you used to be able to bet a woman with a stick as long as it was not thicker than your thumb
Good shit....SUBBED.
It sure is nice when you have perfect rifle sized cutouts in your cover!
"...cover or concealment; we all know the difference..." I'm afraid I don't, and I couldn't find a video on your channel discussing that. Can someone explain that to me? :)
Concealment: The enemy can't see you, but it offers no ballistic protection. Cover: The Enemy can't see you, but it also offers ballistic protection. A bush is concealment. A brick wall is cover.
Tactical Rifleman ah, got it. Thanks!
the people that decided to park down range are going to be so pissed lol
For sure. Thanks for watching, TR
Perhaps they should have called it "rule of wrist".
Succinct, packed with valuable advices!
Highest Value = Step Off Your Cover
Thank you, great content. Appreciated.
omg i can't take the internet arm chair guys commenting on what to do below dont read stop here
whats that rifle barrel length
whats your aim for diagonal and horizontal
Thank you!
Anyone else get the boondock saints reference?
I fuckin love this guy.
Another set of Tactical Experience to maintain advantages over the Oppressor.
Insuring that the the worst fight that you might have with them...
Is the one that never happened! -former sgt. 11b4p 82nd abn. 31818
Love the boondock saints references
Perhaps it should be rule of wrist
Very good. Thank you very much
Would you ever swap the hands and shoulders you’re shooting on in order to shoot from behind a corner while exposing less of your body?
Like if you were to put the stock on your left shoulder and switch hand positions,you could keep maybe a third of your body behind cover and minimize the target area.
Maybe not worth shooting “southpaw” if that’s not natural for you, but maybe it is? You’d have to practice shooting both ways in order to do this in all situations.
Yep, and we have several videos on "Switching Shoulders" that you can find in our video archive. TR
@@TacticalRifleman excellent, thank you!
They should call it the rule of the wrist.
Does someone feel like a lil guy 😆
The rule of thumb reference was the legal president of the 18th century in America as well as many other countries that allows you to beat your wife with a staff no larger in diameter than the presiding district court judge where you live. Any. staff substantially larger was ruled ass excessive and could get you into trouble or even jailed. Just thought you'd be interested sense you made reference too that😉
my only critique is the high right elbow . I keep my elbows tight to my side plates . switch shoulders and crouch as you make your left corner .
what. do you call that wall board?
Can you guys give us your take on the c-cup thumb over barrel hold and the correct way SF's are trained to hold/shoot? Keep up the good work
8:06 What about leaning? Is it actually useful? Or is it better to show yourself a little bit more but control it more?
Are those personal vehicles parked down range? Or are they props?
They are target cars. Once the driving instructors get done with them, they go to medical and weapons/tactics sections.
A few guys behind A wall, Frag out first and wake em up, or go in suppressed ... No party poppers or frags, than own the night...
This vid got a thumbs up 90% because of the Boondock reference thrown in on the sly, 10% because of the quality lesson. Lol! Awesome channel. Subbed
The statement; "I'm a right handed shooter." I'd highly recommend working on transitions if you're not comfortable shooting a rifle from both sides. You should be a "whatever side makes the most sense at the time shooter" to minimize your exposure to enemy fire from different sides or positions of cover or concealment. Just my 2 cents for people learning to shoot from VTAC barriers. Other than that, great vid! Rock on!
So I just did this drill with the exact same everything (with a Colt M4A1) and as a larger man (over 6 ft 230 lbs) I found that the double kneeling was much better for the lower openings. Very versatile. One knee doesn't work nearly as well.
Should always switch to weak side if it means you present a smaller target. Most people shoot better weak side anyway (try it).
Thanks for dispelling Hollywood bullshit.
Thanks for watching, TR
What about shooting steel at 50 yds with standard 5.56 ammo? My AR500 plates get pretty pitted and wondering about better options.
Now I get to go out and spend all of tomorrow on the range. Gotta practice tactical positions and shooting from cover and concealment. My rifle and pistol work need some updating. I can shoot like a hot damn when nothing is on the line but I need to practice real shooting solutions.
Brother where did you find that fold up Idaho drill set up at? I wanted to make one but no room to store it but a fold up one would be sweet. Thanks
I made it
@@TacticalRifleman thanks I will try and replicate
Can you do a video on cross eye dominance
As a paramedic I can tell you people can take alot of bullets and still function for several minutes after being shot in the torso. Did it work is a very important question.
Lol ion care abt ya ears
Yeah totally....hearing loss is totally tacticool...can't operate like an operator without the glasses though....
been out for just over 14 years now, so the only comment I have is thanks for the heads up. great vid and
super informative. thanks to all of the folks at T1G.
Why so close and not further back, e.g. 10-15 feet for better angle use?
"Can't do much damage with that now, can we? Perhaps it should have been a rule of wrist."
Nice vid. Can I get dimensions to build that plywood cover???
Thanks.
Nice, short and sweet.
Do you have a seperate video that goes more in depth with the ballistics when shoothing with your weapon canted?
Raj is the shit.
How to do the one kneeling deep on the ground as a lefty? The rounds will all go in your face etc.
Would love some schematics info to build one for my own range. thanks.
Good job
Could the weapon not be flipped upside down for the mountain? Just wondering
I found good advice here. But if this truly is his cover it looks like he was exposing his body, mostly his leg to fire. got his barrel behind it, his sights behind it most of his body but not the hip and leg. Now it could be the angle we are viewing misleads our perception and he is full under cover so know that as well. For the lowest shots, if it's dirt, rock, etc., you many put your cap on the ground under the extraction port to reduce the dust and dirt from getting in eyes and face as well as reducing the possibility of material entering the rifle and causing a stoppage. Don't hate. I said I gleaned good advice and also a like. A great 2017 to all.
You cant stay 100% behind cover and deliver accurate fire. If youre afraid to come out and deliver accurate fire when neccessary youre in the wrong line of work.
As always, great informative video. It's been a huge help for myself at the range. Keep em coming Gents.
Isn't it a little risky to park your cars down range like that?
Perhaps it should've been a Rule of Wrist.
Great video. +1 to your happy azz. Keep 'em coming.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. The bullet will go down or up depends of course on your elevation and the gravitational pull not if your muzzle is sideways right?
Yes, but with your sights vertical (normal) the barrel is slightly elevated (not much but some). It is not parallel with the barrel. When you lay the weapon on it's side, they are now parallel (up and down, and the bullet will drop by gravity), but the elevation of the vertical gun is not canted to the side that you lay the weapon, hence the need for compensation.
Hide in the shadows. Wear safety your safety glasses😎
Those do not look like junk cars.
Showroom CLassics. Thanks for watching, TR
Took me a second to realize those are target cars in the background lol
