Zee is a great instructor. Really knows what he's talking about. Only talks about what he knows. Very effective communicator. It's obvious he enjoys passing on his knowledge. Great video.
I love that this one of the first videos about this that addresses the fact that if someone in the room knows you are coming and are waiting for you, your odds approach close to ZERO
Some topics I'd love to see covered: 1) More on small unit tactics (four-man teams, etc.) in patrolling, RECCE, CQB, etc. 2) Potential SOPs for nonverbal communication during surreptitious room clearing 3) PCC and PCI considerations Some helmet-mounted camera force-on-force action in individual, as well as team environments, could be pretty awesome content, too.
Great technique. One person searching is full of danger. While you are focusing on this room, a Joe Badguy can come stumbling out of another room with a gun and beer in his hands. Melancholy. I like you back up technique. Two way projectiles rules apply with non bullet resistant walls. Thanks for the video.
What's that saying? Sweat a gallon in training to save a pint of blood in war? Zee's laughing all the way to the blood bank. Seriously though, great content as always. Thank you for your patience to record these knowledge [balms] for posterity, and so we can protect our posterior.
Thank you sir for reaffirming what we do and not only telling people, but teaching people. Flat range is entry level but room clears are a thinking man's game
Zee/ Great Video. I always wondered how to enter a room with doors opening in different directions & where to position my self. Thank You for your Service & GOD Bless You & Yours. 👈😎👉
Also, I really appreciated Zee's point about stepping center quickly after clearing the 45 degree angle instead trying to slice smaller angles. It's just that weird geometry of the angles from inside the room that doesn't really favor the smaller cuts in a FoF scenario.
Excellent content you guys are putting out. At some point could you address navigating stairs in a CQB situation? Greatly appreciate what you guys are doing.
This is some real good input, but on the topic of home defense it's far better to hunker down and wait for them to come to you. For example: If they have more numbers (and you can expect at least 3 for a home invasion), you're better off *outside* of the room because they need to funnel out the doorway into your line of sight. Posting up in an advantageous spot (like at the top of a staircase) is what you want. Otherwise, this video has some really solid input and I would absolutely recommend using a carbine for home defense. An AR-15 loaded with fragmenting ammo such as the SOST bullet (a.k.a. Federal T556TNB1 if you wanna buy it at a gun show or online at a future time) is one of the absolute best options for home defense. You can trust me, I'm a dude in TH-cam comments.
Thanks for walking us through a bunch of considerations Zee!! How long is the barrel on the rifle you're using? It looks long to me but maybe it's the full length forend that's messing with me.
Hey z awesome video thank you for the information. I only have one question do you typically shoulder transition and CQB? Just wondering your opinion on the matter if you think it's necessary or if someone's better off just shooting from strong side when possible
Just saying, I can't tell you've served in the military. Let alone in some SF aspect, no way 😁😉👍. Great info here Señor Zee and thank you for all you've done and continue to do. 🇺🇸🥇🗽🥇🇺🇸.
Thank you instructor Zee. Have a question. I have very little experience in CQB and I had a thought/question regarding use of safety mechanism. If I was alone (most probable) I would not use my safe selector switch , in a group setting, I would. My reason is that the sound & time coming from high ready would put me at risk of me getting discovered. I also agree with Pablo's comment transitioning to opposite shoulder when cutting the pie. I appreciate your time doing this and sharing your knowledge. You are legit as is your organization.
r u considering what happens if u trip on something in the dark? wut if ur finger or something else enters the trigger well wen that happens, and now u send a round into ur kids room and give ur position away 2 the bad guys?
Zee , thank you for another great video I would love to see some more on this topic example my home has what I consider a T you’re coming down the hallway in my home and there are rooms on the left and the right and I have wondered the proper way to approach this I know you guys offer courses I’m up in Michigan I’ve had some training in the shoot house here in Shelby Township maybe you could offer it with handgun and rifle
ZEE, I have a question. @ 11:50 wouldn't you want to stay low, or crouch when opening that door for the possibility of whoever is in the room just starts blasting through the wall your behind?
Thats what I always wonder. Most people don't cover the "through the wall" gunfights when clearing places. Its basically a blind shitshow by that point
I am no expert but my feeling on the issue is it comes into the category of "what if". You might feel better crouched down, someone else might not because they feel off balance or they are concerned if someone did shoot through the wall the rounds might hit above their body armor etc.
A believe a slightly better way to say it would be.. You fall to the level of training you have MASTERED, not just your "level of training". You don't just default to the level of training you previously had for 3 days in 2009 lol. Only to what you practice often, become proficient with & have mastered.
What about MOH winners, or game winning quarterbacks, the innumerable times folks have used personal firearms to stop home invasions, car jackings, etc, and there are examples. All of the aforementioned rose to the occasion. Not knocking you personally, just saying that we all should stop using that old axiom.
@@SweetDDaddy incorrect. Mike Q, you misunderstand the point of the saying. The saying is about what happens most frequently. MOH actions are not what happens most frequently. MOH actions are the exception, not the rule. Does the saying make better sense now? It is still correct and true to say that we don't rise to the occasion-- We fall to our level of training. Earning a MOH is not demonstrative of the rule. It is demonstrative of an exception to the rule. Thats why MOH actions get awarded...because they are rare exceptions to the rule. The rule of thumb is that people dont rise to the occasion. Instead, they fall to their level of training. Not knocking you personally, Mike Q, just saying that we should all stop thinking like Mike Q when it comes to this old and true axiom.
Eli, I'm a big fan of your instructional videos too. Would love to see a collaboration between TR and Project Gecko. It'd be especially cool to see you and Imri clearing rooms together.
Love the videos as usual. Any plans on doing a defensive MOUT video with any tips besides taking a deep corner or setting up a firing position behind cover/concealment? Presumably home invaders know these principles if they study up at all with the information and tactics being so available.
I love this stuff. For my situation though (if I’m assured someone is in my house)- I’m staying put with the advantage of setting the ambush until the cops get there. The way I’ve got things set up, you’ve gotta go through me to get to my family, real valuables/keepsakes. I’d rather have someone get away with an insured TV than have to pay to clean the blood out of my carpets, legal bs, or risk getting shot myself. Just my thoughts-
@Great White right? At least not on the same day🤣😂🤣 Homeowner: “someone has broken into my house and I need the police here mediately” 911 operator: “ I see! We have an officer available on Wednesday. Would you prefer morning or afternoon?” 😅🤣😂
Love the video, very informative! Do you usually just prefer to cant the rifle as you get on the left side of the doorway like you did here rather than transitioning shoulders?
I would love to know when, besides the presence of exigency, to do dynamic entry. If I can clear 80% of a room without diving in, why wouldn't I try to do it every time?
If you’re a right hand shooter and you are trying to track down a wall to the righthand side of the door I assume there would be an advantage to switching your rifle to your left shoulder?
Great video and am digging the channel!! had follow up question to this; If the rifle is in your right shoulder and you begin to pie a room to the right (clockwise) - what are your thoughts about transitioning the rifle to your left shoulder to minimize body exposure? Wondering as took a carbine class where we would do a transition from right to left shoulder, for left handed shooting from cover in certain instances. Anyway just curious of your thoughts!
Finger indexed all the times, I get that but does your safety only come off when sights are on a threat? And as you’re by yourself a theat could always suddenly appear behind you from a different room down the hall while your peering into a room😳
I was watching UF Pro's videos on some of this and was wondering if you guys had something else to bring to the table. I found a few things they didn't mention.
Got a question for anyone who plays call of duty modern warfare 2019 how come your gun is tilted at a angle when using night vision I thought you could still use iron sights? If anyone reads this please feel free to leave your thoughts and comments thanks!
@@TacticalRifleman Thanks for sharing this information with me on the movies about the navy seals they don't cant the gun they are able to aim the gun the normal way and not tilt it.
Zee is a great instructor.
Really knows what he's talking about. Only talks about what he knows. Very effective communicator.
It's obvious he enjoys passing on his knowledge.
Great video.
agree. one of the best ive heard
That’s why Instructor is his first name 😜😄
"...they come to me and I'm gonna bring it to 'em..." The entire presentation was fantastic, thank you for saying that out loud!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
We had to watch the whole video to get that line. 😂🤙🏼
I love that this one of the first videos about this that addresses the fact that if someone in the room knows you are coming and are waiting for you, your odds approach close to ZERO
When do you know you had surprise? When the guy tells you afterwards.... if there's a survivor.
@@jessehanrahan5799 unless you have a superior force that enables dynamic entry, lack of surprise will not turn out very well for you unfortunately.
Some topics I'd love to see covered:
1) More on small unit tactics (four-man teams, etc.) in patrolling, RECCE, CQB, etc.
2) Potential SOPs for nonverbal communication during surreptitious room clearing
3) PCC and PCI considerations
Some helmet-mounted camera force-on-force action in individual, as well as team environments, could be pretty awesome content, too.
Oh yeah agreed

Zee is one of the best instructors because he's not trying to impress the viewer the whole time. He really wants to teach
The old saying of “Never be in a hurry to rush to your death” applies here.
Thank you sir for reaffirming what we do and not only telling people, but teaching people. Flat range is entry level but room clears are a thinking man's game
Makes sense, put the threat in an OODA loop to potentially gain a tactical advantage. Great job, Zee!
Zee/ Great Video. I always wondered how to enter a room with doors opening in different directions & where to position my self. Thank You for your Service & GOD Bless You & Yours. 👈😎👉
Would like to see Carl and the crew do something with Mike Glover at filed craft survival . Great video love the knowledge y'all pass on!
As usual, another fantastic video Zee! I hope your group makes it to Arizona some day...would be mind blowing to get some knowledge from you.
Well done gentlemen. Lots to consider. Great to hear from people who have been there done that.
Great video Zee, I have no military training so these vids are lifesavers for guys such as myself, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I will be practicing this at night thank you for a great lesson!!
Also, I really appreciated Zee's point about stepping center quickly after clearing the 45 degree angle instead trying to slice smaller angles. It's just that weird geometry of the angles from inside the room that doesn't really favor the smaller cuts in a FoF scenario.
This is probably the best home defense clearing i’ve ever seen
Excellent content you guys are putting out. At some point could you address navigating stairs in a CQB situation? Greatly appreciate what you guys are doing.
11:50 excellent trigger position everytime you face the camera. 2nd nature. Nice job!
Could you possibly make one that includes clearing from a narrow hallway? Or having to work up or down a set of stairs without giving yourself away?
OUTSTANDING!!! Great video!!!! Thank you!!!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great instructor!
Your explanation of the thought process, while clearing, was great!
Saving this one, It has outstanding points CQB and Fatal Funnel. Good video thanks👍
This is really good stuff . Zee and Imri both do a fantastic job at cqb/ entry videos , well explained thus allowing some good items to practice.
Our pleasure!
Amazing instruction as usual. Any thoughts on a defensive perimeter video? Like defending your home against a group? Just a thought.
I’ll add it to the video idea list
When do you consider shooting off hand instead of always shooting off your right side?
Tons of invaluable knowledge
As a french with very few probability to one day touch a gun i confirm.
13:39 Zee says "... I hope the do" I busted out laughing. No doubt brotha.
As always very informative and easy to understand, you guys are a great group of trainers
Love the thoughtfulness! Just wish u switched hands on your gun more.

Thanks for walking us through a bunch of considerations Zee!!
How long is the barrel on the rifle you're using? It looks long to me but maybe it's the full length forend that's messing with me.
If you had room to move on your 6 would it be better to create distance or position yourself closer to the door?
Another great video Zee! Thanks to the entire TR team. Let's make 2021 the sh!t
This may not be a popular request, but could you do a couple of vids on patroling, recon, and assault tactics? Also "getting to a building"?
whyyyyy.....?? lol jk
can't wait to train with you in Feb
More good stuff Z..always appreciated
Great video and very well taught.
element of surprise the greatest weapon
Hey Zee! what shoes are those, they look awesome
Excellent ... absolutely practical
Thanks for the info
Great video Zee. Say hello to Carl.
You got it

Situation will dictate your speed... every situation will be different
I still prefer russian style. Just rush the room spraying 7.62 mm everywhere and worry about what is happening once mag is empty.
Good information to know.
Yeah!! Thank you.
Great stuff Zee thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Anything with Zee in it is an auto-win.
Good stuff. There are some videos on this that some Israeli SF dude makes. This is the way.
Great content, thank you.
If you’re a right hand shooter and you are trying to track down a wall to the righthand side of the door I assume there would be an advantage to switching your rifle to your left shoulder?
No because you don’t train enough to fight that way... not just shooting but also fighting... not everyone warrants deadly force
Brilliant video 😎
Thanks 😁
Very smart good class!
Glad you think so!
What comp is that on the ar?
Marine here.... violence is spelt with an 'e' not an 'a'. Now I'll go back to eating my crayola breakfast. Carry on, gents!

And dark.....
Best Information online
The Bob Ross of tactics
what rifle sling are you running?
TR-1 from Sly Tactical
good shit...........
What carbine is Zee using here?
A Grunt from Tactical Edge.
I know, I know, Come take the class. ☺️I’ve been trying to make it there for a while😡

@@TacticalRifleman Thanks for sharing this information with me on the movies about the navy seals they don't cant the gun they are able to aim the gun the normal way and not tilt it.
Remember the old days when every room entry was just all dynamic entry all the time lol
What about when you don’t need to see what’s inside you just need to kill what’s inside should u even try to get in or light up the walls or sum
Always know what you're shooting. What you described is how people accidentally kill their cousin.
@@kerbalairforce8802 ok but that’s not what I asked
Nobody else is supposed to be in my house. Single , no kid in the house. Ill shoot through my wall and fix the drywall later lol
Have to ask Zee, is that accent from South Louisiana?
Sounds like it. They raise them boys tough down there.
South Carolina mixed with some TN 😁
