“ you got the rest of your life in combat to fix it” I will be stealing that. Every high level guy I’ve ever talked to has said the same thing... up drills and shit like up drills.
I started doing short magazines with transition to sidearm drills a while back on the advice of an experienced friend. It seems like a 'basic' drill until you try it the first time. I oafed around slowly at first but eventually got pretty smooth at it. Love all your basic drills videos - I can use them as building blocks and add my own elements to make them 'advanced' with running forward/backwards while engaging; engaging offhand then going to paddy crouch, etc. As always, thanks.
Thanks. We are trying really hard to put out great content. I have a surprise video coming this Thanksgiving (6 days away), that is a half hour long, going over the effects of over-penetration of certain rounds through different types of building walls. I think everyone will like that one too. So, be looking for it. TR
Like I know how to Pin a comment? Besides, I'm telling all the Patrons. Either way, if you watch on Thursday or Friday, it is not going anywhere. Hope you can make the Patreon Course in Early OCT.
What I like about these drills is, you dont need to spend tons of money on ammo. Everyone acts like you need boxes on boxes on boxes of ammo to go to the range. Maybe if you are dumping 30 rounds all day. Doing simple drills like these are far more effective and you dont need to spend all your money on ammo.
Hey Karl, can we get the twelve drills for the twelve days of Christmas this year? The drills in this video are also awesome. Happy Thanksgiving to the tactical rifleman team and their families
I actually just filmed my 12 gift recommendations to put out before Christmas. I hadn’t thought of the “Twelve Drills of Christmas”. Let me think on it. TR
Great content as always TR! May i suggest a blindside drill? So u start off by standing in the center, lets say u have 5 target boards in front of u, target no.1 being the target on the extreme left, target no.5 on the extreme right. turn ur body to face the the 5th target, 2 to the chest, another quick 2 to the 4th target and immediately turn to the 1st target aka ur blindside to simulate an enemy coming out from another corner. Cheers!
Awesome content and delivery! You pack more training and info into 7 minutes than most rambling youtubers do in 20 minutes. I watched your videos, then I went to the range andshot videos of myself shooting your drills. Very eye opening...that malfunction drill was brutal!! But it's super useful to be able to watch yourself react to that situation under a little bit of stress. I can't shoot anywhere near as well as Karl ( and never claimed to) but I wanted to show that the regular guy next door could learn these drills and shoot them well. I'm sure I made mistakes in my videos that I didn't even notice, but if you want to critique, heckle or mock, feel free to check out the videos. Thank you again Karl. You're helping to (re)build a nation of riflemen. Every citizen a soldier. A rifle behind every blade of grass.
Morning Karl I'd like to say thank you to you and the Tactical Rifleman family we're still doing these videos and dealing with TH-cam's bullcrap they're very intuitive and useful and I look forward to putting the drills and tactics into place with myself my friends and my family keep on shooting straight and thanks again
I like how you state that you hope we got something out of your video. Of course we did!! Keep up the good work TR, love and appreciate your instruction!!👍🇺🇸
Really good. Use these drills with my students and I do add the dummy rounds. Transition drill on long gun day really gets them thinking and understanding fundamentals for the pistol especially. Thanks for the video!
Karl thanks this is awesome as usual. My son, a cop, showed me the drill u were doing with dummy rounds except we did it with spent casings! Thanks again!
When i was training executive protection and convoy protection i had a instructor who made me count every round and practice similar drills over and over for weeks and hours. He wasnt special ops but he had many years experience working for NYPD and Secret Service.
Karl- I use your drills every time I practice, which is about once a week. thanks for adding some new stuff to the mix. Great video. please keep the training videos coming. Thumbs up!!!!
Tactical Rifleman I work at a local gun store/gun range, so keeping my skills up to date is super important for both me and my customers. I wish the other sales guys spent as much time in the range as I do. I go in and train hard once or twice a week. I train to the point of failure and learn from my mistakes. It’s guys like you who motivate me to push myself harder and learn new skills every time I shoot. You’re a great resource and I rely on your expertise to better myself and my local shooting community. Thanks again
Yep, tacticalrifleman.com has links to all our stuff. We are updating the website, this winter (slow period), and will have a much better site by Spring, but you can still buy shirts now. TR
Great stuff, man! This is the stuff everyone needs to work. When the SHTF all the cute little pistols aren't going to be what gets you to the next day!
Great video, Karl. I totally agree on training with dummy rounds. I've also used empty brass because it causes other types of malfunctions. Really makes you focus on the drill one step at a time, get good hits, smooth transition, etc... Training is different when we question whether our gun is going to go bang...
My brother and I just got back from doing these drills. Had a blast as this is the first time my brother has done these kinds of drills. Looks badass when he's using his SCAR 17...lol. Thanks for the video!
I love your KISS method. I'm tired of these utube ninjas. They have no experience compared to you. Thank you for your service. Many of my friends are former Green Berets and Army that were in Irag and Afganistan and the normal person has no idea what it is like. (former Tailgunner on the B-52''s and retired Police Officer.) Great Video.
Most of our targets are made by MGM Targets. Mike Gibson is a great American. The round plates I made in Iraq, and are made from dead Iraqi HumVees. MGM has a Promo code for Tactical Rifleman viewers. TacR10 I think.
Thanks for the vital information yet again! I did not know that you could shoot at steel targets that close with 556. I mainly shoot paper at 25 yards and steel at longer distances.
Stop!!! I was shooting FRANGBLE AMMO!!! I don't want you to tear yourself up. I was shooting ANGLED Rifle-rated Steel from MGM Targets (they have a Promo Code for TR Viewers), and I was using Inceptor Frangible Ammo. It hits much lighter than most other Frang.
Got it Sir! Just got back from an indoor range here in Virginia Beach, VA . Did a bunch of mag dumps at 25 yards on paper. Wolf Gold would give a little splash back at that distance on steel I would imagine. Thanks once again for the feedback.
I am going to start practicing these drills. However, I plan to use a .22cal conversion unit to get the drills moving into muscle memory. Less expensive. More training time. Especially since the drills are executed at 7 meters.
Yes I can. That was an InForce IR/White Light that I was testing out. It is a very solid light and will serve you well. However, I still prefer my Surefire IR Scout. That said, I will continue to test most new lights, so I can keep all you viewers informed. TR
At 2:02 have you ever seen that drill put to use in a real world scenario against enemies? Just curious if a person would have time to react and shoot back after seeing his buddy get blown away
I have a friend that dropped two guys in the same room. Killed another guy with his pistol and a fourth with his bare hands. He earned a Silver Star that day. A good day can turn into a bad day really fast; hence the need for practicing these drills. Thanks for watching. TR
You know, if you couldn't look that up and verify it to be true you could swear that almost sounds like those stories of people who try to puff themselves up as being this larger than life bad ass.
Look up Tony Pryor, A-1-5 SFG, initial invasion of Afghanistan. Tony is a very humble guy... who can rip your head off. I'm honored to call him my Brother.
Good video...what size steel targets do you use? I have a few 12 x 20's, but yours look way larger...also want pick up some frangible ammo to get up close and personal...
Yours and ours are basically the C-zone sized. We do have other much smaller and a few full sized Iron Maidens. I like Inceptor Frang for up real close. Thanks for watching, TR
Simple and makes sense! I like it Karl. If you have a link for some good dummy rounds or an amazon store, let us know. Next time, do a video on good dry fire drills if you have some you would like to share :)
Awesome vid brotha always being real without the BS and over the top talk appreciate the simplicity "KISS " Means Keep it simple stupid for our Civilian counterparts reading these comments
I need a shirt that says...key hole the melon...and i need it to have a picture of a key hole in a melon with a balaclava ...on the back it says bring frienz
For pistols I like to use spent shell casings, most guns will chamber them fine. If you want to make cheap dummy rounds that are disposable, and already have reloading equipment, buy a, "blank die" and just use spent casings in it.
@@tylerknight2616 yeah cuz fishing through the grass/dirt/leaves for $10 in snap caps is easier than just grabbing anything shiny brass... DERPITY DERP DERP
Those malfunction drills will separate the real shooters from the wannabes VERY quickly. That's why most people are scared to do them. Go ahead and try 'em... I dare you... :)
Because we don’t do the “Pew Pew” exciting stuff that all the young crowd wants to see. That’s fine... we value the viewers we have and don’t care if we don’t grow big. Thanks for watching, TR
I once had a stoppage on a stapler..I immediately grabbed my back up paper clip then cleared that stapler...dealt with.
New Series coming to ABC this Spring:
"Bill Stone, Office Operator"
The real question is, do you use a one, two, or three point sling for that stapler?
Life as a hospital medic. Or closing the top of the copier and pretend it’s a feed tray of a 240
Thanks for the laugh

Ammo is cheap life is expensive.... well not now days but you get what im saying
"You've got the rest of you're life in combat"..... a funny yet hard hitting statement.

Excellent skill development. Experts just do the fundamentals better than the beginners. Works with everything
nice video. I have a question. You are very close to steel targets. What are you shooting for ammo?
Frangible Ammo. Please do not shoot steel with rifle closer than 45 meters, and steel with pistol closer than 7 meters.
Best idea I've heard all week. Thank you sir
Short, sweet, and to the point. Thanks for the video. I dig the info. I’m going to send this to a lot of students.

For pistols I like to use spent shell casings, most guns will chamber them fine. If you want to make cheap dummy rounds that are disposable, and already have reloading equipment, buy a, "blank die" and just use spent casings in it.

Any splash back issues with shooting the steel plate that close? Are using regular Full Metal Jacket ? I see it is angled down.
We were using frangible ammo. Never shoot steel with ball closer than 50 meters for rifle, and 12 meters for pistol.
