Can anyone explain/provide pictures how to execute the following drills/techniques? I have found these mentioned a lot, but am having difficulty finding good explainations. Whichever ones you are familiar with and can explain would be great. I am looking to practice a lot with my AR over the summer. Thank you. -El Diablo Drill -Harv's Drill -Midsouth Meltdown -Devil's Drill -Israeli Two Step -FAST After Action Drill -The Graucho Technique -The SAS Movement Drill -The Exercise Walk -The Zipper Technique -Military Prone -British Prone -Urban Prone -Traditional Prone -Straight On Prone -Rice Paddy Prone -Traditional Kneeling -High/Low Kneeling -Hight/Low Sitting -Reverse Kneeling -Double Kneeling -Bladed Stance -Suitcase Carry -Tactical Carry -Patrol Carry -High/Low Muzzle Frontal Carry -Backup Weapon Transitions -High/Low Ready -Controlled Fire -Slow/Medium/Fast Forward Movement -Rearward Movement -Lateral Movement -360 Degree Engagements |

Don't be offended but get into a good training course. Most of your questions will be answered. Not that people here can't answer your question but this info will be taught in most classes. If you are looking for a good book that covers some of this, read Gabe Suarez's book The Tactical Rifle The Tactical Rifle |
| +1 to obtaining and attending a structured class from a competent instructor. Each class will vary. Instructors all have varying opinions and approaches to drills. Take the information in, practice and determine what works for you. For the most part, the basics will remain consistent throughout. Most basic classes focus on becoming familiar with your weapons systems and proper technique/positions. Advanced Classes will build and re-enforce these techniques and add to them, including improved malfunction clearing, reloads, team tactics, support side shooting and transition to sidearm. Trying to train properly from a manual or user provided written descriptions of the drills may cause you more problems in the long run than it's worth. A dry read of the drill description will not necessarily include any insight into the drill provided by the instructor or your ability to watch others perform the drill to see what they are doing wrong/right. There will be no one there correcting you when you do something incorrectly and this can potentially promote bad habits which will be difficult to "unlearn" later when you do get some quality class time. Wanting to train during the summer is laudable, but get some actual class time in. It will be some of the best money you ever spend. |
| I understand that nothing can top one on one instruction with a qualified instructor. I know about the training videos and books. However, what I am asking for is if you could explain any (you certainly don't have to explain all) of the drills, techniques, etc. that I mentioned, please do so. I have limited time and money to schedule, travel to, and take a course(s) from an instructor. Therefore, the best I can do is practice on my own whenever I have free time. If you are gracious enough to explain the procedures that I am interesting in, then do so. Otherwise, please spread your knowledge and help someone out on another thread. I appologize in advance if I sound harsh, but please just tend to the requests in the thread. If you can't/don't want to, then don't post anything and just move onto a different thread. Thank you. |

This is all a work in progress, but it may help you some. Let me know if you have questions afterwards. Shooting Positions practical marksmanship training 1st youtube video |
Even if you don't have much money to spend on training (and most here understand that) you should look into books and DVDs. But since you already knew that, I guess I'll go somewhere else. Good luck.

| I would say about 50%-75% of what you posted would be covered in a 2-day Defensive Edge carbine class. That's why most of us who know and have trained are encouraging that route. There is not a real substitute. Plus, a lot of this stuff needs to be demoed, not explained. |
