    As a former Marine Corps combat marksmanship coach, I can definitely say practicing all these tips will make me, and anyone, a much better shooter. Never stop learning.

      What i learned with usmc marksmenship coaches put me ahead of most in the world. Dead serious. Worked downrange and very well. When we went to advanced courses it became an extension of that learning. Army SF are simply some of the best weapons instructors on the planet. With a great base of knowledge from the start though. Its really like going to a top tier college, and an insane masters program. People outside the military miss the sum of the parts. But it ends with us fielding the absolute best warfighters on the planet.

      @@mtmadigan82 you douchebgs.. You realize that almost any 3gun shooter is going to be a better shooter than you.. Where do you think most of these skills are derived from? How well do you think any one squaring off against someone like Jerry Miculek will do. Good fkin luck with that.
      Go shoot a competition and see how well you do. Those guys will fkin run circles around you. Go shoot PRS.. Go shoot F class. Do that and see how well you do. Then come back and link your scores. I bet you won't have the balls to do it. You'll simply think because someone is SF they're really good shooters?
      Military doctrine is woefully behind on everything. Longest shot? Lols.. Guys have been shooting well over 2-3 miles. They have competitions for this. Speed? You're gonna get crushed by USPSA and 3Gun shooters.
      You guys are taught to fight. But don't mistake gun handling for fighting. You guys suck at gun handling. The majority of military are never taught proficient gun handling.

    I really enjoyed this instruction. The c-clamp and forward thrust of your off arm acts as a point technic similar to 'instinctive point shooting ,one handed with a pistol. My father taught me to "point shoot from the holster with a Colt peacemaker, beginning at seven yrs old. He was very accurate. The best I ever did was killing an 8 point buck from 25 yards, drawing from the holster, a Ruger Bkackhawk in .44 magnum, 4 3/4" barrel. Face on with the buck, I got him center of the neck just below the chin. True story, have witness. I've never considered that technique would translate to a carbine. I like it and will begin practice immediately. Thank you for your service from a fellow veteran.

    As a relatively new shooter who just got their 1st carbine, I have to say, this is exactly what I needed. I had been bringing the stock to my shoulder like a traditional rifle and then looking for sights. This makes so much sense to bring sights to eyes 1st. The lack of recoil means not needing to tuck the stock into your shoulder. So simple, yet I hadn't seen that in any other videos.
    Also like the idea of the C clamp. Much like shooting a pistol and covering as much space with your thumbs to cut down recoil. Thanks for keeping it simple!

      C clamp grip is great for fast, accurate competition shooting and for that purpose, it's an extremely good grip. Now hold that grip for more than 5 minutes and we'll see how that shoulder holds up. That support hand shoulder will fatigue very, very quickly and then your accuracy goes to shit. It's always best to learn, use and practice with multiple grip styles.

By the time you have stood "at the ready" (overwatch) for around an hour or two (supporting breachers for example), you will be holding that M4 around the magwell with your weak hand. Forward pistol grips can make a good "monopod" if you're lucky enough to be behind a vehicle or a wall. Even the SF guys will change grips if the op is long enough... it's called fatigue.
