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 I can't imagine what that would cost in the private sector, apples to apples.
@@mtmadigan82 Green Berets primary job is indig training and it shows lol
@@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.
@@mtmadigan82 not these days Devil Dog. Now even the Military is trying to go woke. Worried about people's pronouns and shit. China just building up while we get woke. Best Warfighters I think we'll be a thing of the past very soon.
Finally, a no-bs explanation of the WHY of the c clamp from someone who isn't trying to be tacti-cool.
Thanks, Mike
what are you talking about? Do you SEE how he is holding it? 100% trying to be "tacti-cool". His elbow flare is SOO bad for consistency. it's hilarious how bad it is.
Jason Ikr, pretty sure he’s a paintball guy
@@aa1bb2cc3dd4 yeah I heard he likes airsoft
He was a green beret for about 20 years and has alot of experience in combat.
@@sub-zero1128 experience in combat should have taught him the exact opposite of how he holds it. It looks like he didn't learn a damned thing from combat.
I ALMOST did not watch this video, I’m thinking “hey I’m military and have been shooting for years I don’t need to watch this.” I took a step back and humbled myself and watched the video. Glad I did. Makes a lot of sense.
I couldn't have said it better myself. It has brought me to the realization that I have retraining to do.
*MOST* military training is developed for the lowest common denominator.
Chances are if you're relying solely on what you learned in the military, you're missing out.
When your full of yourself, you never learn anything new. That is how the student becomes the master, by continuously learning. While the master thinks he already knows everything.
You won't use c clamp.
It's a gimmick.
soldier of tough love been trying to
Use it it’s not as comfortable as a normal grip.
Love it, explanation > demonstration > repetition. Well put together
Learned more in 10 min than the whole time Ive owned my AR
Check out Vigilance Elite channel as well . Good stuff .
Wow that's sad
You bought a gun and don’t know how to hold it ???
@@wernesgruder1 truth be told lindsey probably owned that ar for years and just now learning how to hold it. People really shouldn't buy one if they can't hold or use it properly. Says alot about the dealer too.
@@wernesgruder1 we all have to learn at some point correct how do you expect to learn with it if you don't own one
I love everything this guy teaches. No bs and puts a reason to everything he teaches. Keep up the good work man!
Everything except for repeating multiple times “this is not a deer rifle” I use my AR all the time for deer hunting
Agreed, went to join the Royal Green Jackets, bad background sadly, FMEs passed me but non professionals had other ideas, idiots, this guy is brilliant top respects USA armed forces, Cpt salutes you
@@tenstargaming9599 You can use it for deer hunting, but it's not a deer rifle simply because it was not designed for deer hunting. Neither was the bullet typically used by them.
Commenting while watching this, I totally agree! Dude this some great instruction. HAVE TO ADMIT; I clicked on this Vid- because I think I have the Exact same Pistol!
@@SouthpawSteel Ahhght--! ..carbine....!
I was Infantry for 15 years, actually taught small arms, and I learned a lot with this video, awesome job. Looking forward to more
So awesome! Glad to hear it and thank you for the feedback!
Dude just thinking the same 10 years infantry 08 to 18. The only c clamp I remember being taught is when shooting using walls and stuff but it was like the opposite like think of making an ok sign and then your left the fingers are pushed against the wall. Then again when I was out of basic they were handing out gangsta grips like candy
3 door kickers all learned something here
We used forward grips in our deployments, but i guess they fell out of style? My company also went to DARC riffle and MOUT courses in 08' and we always used the forward grips.
@@fieldcraftsurvival brother we appreciate you more than you'll ever know we got your back if you ever need us you can count on that
I am a 72D in the Army. It’s Environmental Science Officer. I am far from the tip of the spear. However, I am a Soldier first and frankly speaking, we don’t get enough weapons training at the medical support level. That’s why I want to thank you for your series of instructions. I can apply and practice these skills in my own capacity so that I won’t be a burden to my Brothers and Sisters.
We got like no actual training. Sat around for 12+ hours a day either doing nothing or cleaning and pulling weeds in the same area we did the day before. Videos like this will be more useful than regular army will be for at least another 25 years.
@@TheRealRenn That came after my time. I was in for that last little bit where the army was still in denial about how useless their PT was and nobody was allowed to have a kit set up different than the first sergeant, regardless of how ineffective it made you at your role. A magical time when you would all get up at 3AM to go to a range to zero your weapons at 2pm and then go back and immediately remove your optic for the arms room.
You are awesome 👍
I can confirm this as well. As a 25A Signal Officer. We were out in the field, but barely got this level of instruction, which seems essential to basic soldier skills. All we learned was SPORTS lol.
Thank you!
For YEARS I was a "Dig the stock into the shoulder and rock the gun up" guy. Using the stock/shoulder point like a pivot.
This just completely blew my mind. The entire rifle comes up AT THE SAME TIME. Something so simple yet so completely game changing.
Thanks Mike!
How many times can a new AR owner say "Ohooooo" and "that makes sense" in 10 min? Several, several times. Excellent video.
Would love to see a handling class for the Springfield SOCOMII
I truly respect the want to keep it simple for new shooters. Shooting is a fundamental that every American should have a basic understanding of. This type of video is exactly what is needed. Thank you.
Fundamentals have definately changed in the last 20 years since I was in the Corps. I appreciate the updates!
The part about “don’t search for the optic
, but bring it to you” was a mind fuck. It makes so much sense and it’s completely different than a deer rifle (which I’m used too)
Coley Davis hell yeah brother!
Vietnam ERA Vet, 3/2 ACR , used the M 16 and was given expert badge but after watching your how to hold a carbine, I realized I was only expert at shooting targets at ARMY Basic and AIT ranges.
I knew about relaxed grip so trigger finger had easy motion but the C clamp and the way to bring the weapons optic up to eye level instead of searching for the optic by bringing your head down taught me how it made a shooter so much more efficient. THANKS!
thank you for your service brother. I was also in Vietnam, cambodia spike team mamba and we just only used the normal barrel grip
How come nobody held rifles with the c clamp technique back then?
Been 48 years since I've fired an M16 much less an AR15.. Getting ready to get my first AR and your post has really helped when I get
out on the firing range.. Look forward for more of your posts.. Thanks
Thank you for your service. You'll love the AR.
Best time in the world to be in the market for an AR 15. The sales going on this Christmas are insane. Good luck with the new AR and thank you for your service sir!
Look into CMP Service Rifle competition and Appleseed Project center-fire events. Good people and you'll relearn those marksmanship skills fast.
Get some! Bought one for my Father He hasnt had one since He served in the Army
For anybody just beginning to shoot with a carbine, I think the order in which you presented this is super easy to digest. I go back and watch fundamentals from guys that not only have the ability to shoot fast and accurately, but can integrate that with movement and cover and the whole nine. The smallest little tips and things you notice help to bring it all together. 2 year old vid, but still relevant. Thanks. Glad guys like you put out legit content without the nonsense. We don't need a bunch of fancy filler. I appreciate that.
I agree. I’m new to all this and this video was very easy to understand.
I always chuckle a little when I see someone at the range doing this and then completely misses the target or paper looks like a shotgun. My thought is you should worry about fundamental of marksmanship before you actually do all the fancy pants presentations or cool guy stuff.
Anyone else been putting the stock deep in your shoulder and straining your neck down? Just learned so much.
I did, but I like to use a slight forward lean, cheekrisers and a high optic mount to counter neck strain.
Yep. It was like a lightbulb going off.
Holdover technique from iron sights with years and years of movies, TV shows reenforcing it.
Spread the word on the corrected technique!
(I know this was 5+ months ago, just excited to see!)
Me
Exactly.
Wow... a super informative video. To be honest I didn't think I was going to get much out of it. I was wrong. This short video really helped me a lot. Very well done sir. Thank you
17 years in the Navy and Army to include a MISO unit, and I finally get a GREAT block of instruction on this subject. Keep these coming.
Perspective is so valuable for those who don't have the background. I'm a music teacher, and its so interesting to see the parallels between the two for building those neural pathways for the most consistent and efficient execution. Thank you for the knowledge.
Hey, shout out to my fellow music teacher!
Yes Classic Guitarist .Economy of motion is key
You had me hitting pause to eject my live round, popping a mag in and trying your methods. Some of this I already do but bringing my sight/optic to my eye, not vice versa was pretty easy to pick up, felt very natural. I already shoot using a c clamp but I'll be out bright & early getting some muscle memory with live rounds. Great video! You snagged a subscriber in me. Thank's much!
Awesome, glad to have you!
I just did the same thing! Good stuff.
Funny I just did the same thing.
Just learned a lot, real fast. Thanks, man. The bloopers brought a much needed chuckle.
Ass kisser
@@s577-v4v POG
I love how almost every blooper was full of beeping, but one was just a little "sorry". That changeup made me laugh even harder.
I would "like" this buuuuuut you have a total of "223" likes soooo I can't ruin it
Are we sure he wasn’t navy..?! Lol lots o bleeps..lol I’m glad I read some comments, had no clue there was a blooper real...!!
Former Airborne/Air Assault guy here from the late ‘80s/early ‘90s and we never learned any of these techniques. Glad I found this channel. I plan to spend this weekend streaming and practicing. Thanks for your service!
This is true
BRING THE OPTIC UP TO THE EYE Amen. It's SO good to hear someone finally say that.
"Stay alert and stay alive"
I sure hope I don't let you down.
Antal László sounds like a quote from Forest Gump
@@rudorc it's a quote I think from WW2 Marines
😂
How much he simplified this makes me want to like this so many times.
I appreciate instructors like you. . . no bs, all genuine Life-saving information and no patting yourself on the back. And everything you say is crystal clear and understandable. . . thank you for the content, awesome stuff.
The John Wick seal of approval.
@@connorperrett9559 we need more instructors like him
Simplest and clearest explanation on achieving the best out of your AR-15!
Thank you!
Yeah, this is what Green Berets are trained to do, teach others how to use weapons and fight with them.
Haaaaaaaa! ISWYDT!
No wonder smaller armies outside of the US continue to shoot poorly.
This guy is CAG just FYI
@@takinie9024 He was in that unit for a short amount of time the bulk of his career was spent in SF. Hell, I think he was a Tomb Guard longer than he was with JSOC.
Even a Stick or Rock if need be
I seriously have always had trouble finding a comfortable controllable position while holding an AR-15. This video just changed everything for me. Thanks Mike, not only for your informative content but your selfless service you gave to defend our country and citizens that occupy it. We are forever in debt to you. God bless
I'll be rewatching this when I go to the range tomorrow. I grew up on bolts and levers, so carbines/SA MSRs feel so odd to me. I don't death grip, never have, but will not trying to have them sit higher on the shoulder. I've always had them in the meat of my pec, and had to bring my head down.
This is the first time "driving the gun" has made sense to me. Thanks Mike, always good info.
your videos not only teach economy of motion, they also teach economy of communication.
straight to the point, solid easy to digest info, no bs filler material.
A typical Green Beret Master Class! We were taught (early 80s) to tuck both elbows into the chest to lessen the chance of getting them shot off, and I used my sling to kill the muzzle jump but, if I were a young military, LEO or security contractor, I would most certainly perfect every aspect of your technique Mike. So interesting how different generations see tactical/technical weapon employment.
This is great, I'd love more of these. No one ever taught me how to properly shoulder a rifle, so I notice now I was pushing my face down to the optic instead of bringing the optic to my face. Thank you!
Well, i loved his explanation on why c-clamp is more than just handling the gun, or a mere posture. (y)
I have zero military service and training. Great respect and appreciation for all of you that do. I grew up around and guns. Quail and pheasant hunting at around 10 (too old to remember exactly what age), competitive skeet as a teenager, and a lifelong firearms expert (totally self taught and self appointed 😉). I didn’t get my first AR until I was 50. Love at first sight and first shot. Now I have enough to outfit a small country’s army. I’ve watched and read everything I can get my hands on about the platform and how to use it. I’ve watched this video several times and learn something new every time. Mike’s content is great. His ability to teach us weekend warriors how to be better with the AR/M4 platform is much appreciated. I know he has helped my confidence and proficiency tremendously.
just bought my first ar I am a new shooter and appreciate all of your advice an instruction
I spent over 20 years in the Marines, and I’m watching this video like 🤯. I could have used this 20 years ago....
Right! That “C” clamp really locks in and aids follow-on shots
Look up ronin tactical. He is constantly seeking new knowledge and learning from common or less common mistakes.
Same here.
Army POGs like me have this in our recommendations for Iran preparation
Hahaha nice.
We need stuff like "How to place hands on keyboard properly" lol
Absolutely love your material and teachings. Been practicing this for 20 years but it’s great to get such a great easy to follow guide for those who have never heard this.
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.
Solid block of instruction followed by epic bloopers...what's not to like. Thumbs up!
I’ve handled guns and rifles for a few decades and while I can get away with intuitive shooting with pinpoint accuracy this is great instruction. I can’t say enough about learning the right way and understanding the fundamentals, Thank you 🙏
the foundations in life are the most critical, for in it builds the frame of life. Thanks for the refresher.
Keep that high speed stuff coming Sarn't Major!
Once you put the reps in, you can't not do it.

What a dude to learn from. I’m stoked he is on our side........ good editing in that video to.
This channel is possibly the best one in UA-cam for training. Very, very well done
There's a lot of shitty information here.
We support Mike Glover!
Mike, this was awesome - to the point fundamentals. I just purchased my 1st carbine AR15. So much value in less than 10 mins. Hope this channel helps more people. Super grateful and appreciate all your content here on YT.
The Fundamental series is really helpful. I would love some more of these, plus the bloopers are great!
This man has more experience in gunfight than most entire platoons he is an extraordinary leader and has the humility and strength and ability to teach that is very rarely found in an instructor he is the best of the best Thank you Mike
Great job explaining the reasons for his hold. Great facts and demonstration without ego and bullshit.
Hands down one of the best videos on this subject that I've seen!
@The FieldCraft Survival Channel Watched the video all the way through and it was not until the bloopers at the end when I was finally like "now there is the Mike Glover I served with." Awesome to see you continuing to bring the knowledge and advice that comes from training, conditioning, experience, and hard learned lessons to the forefront of today's media. Please stay safe and keep well, Mike.
Apparently he doesn't remember you
If he says to use a c clamp, im doing a clamp. This dude is badass, his interview on VigilanceElite w. Shawn ryan was epic, dudes a beast. Green berets, tomb of the unknown soldier guard, spec ops dude all around. No bs.
Learned so much here. Economy of motion. A priceless fundamental.
Mind blowing. I had it pointed the other way. Was crazy loud and I wasn't hitting anything.
Lol that was Uninspected have u learn to hit target 🎯 with a mirror, never give up never surrender patriot
Try looking down the hole in the end of it. That should get you some results
LOL
😂😂😂😂
I hear ya bro. I might think it’s a profound video if I were in the third grade. And stupid.
Hey Mike...I watch a lot of your videos because they're absolutely beneficial to me. I've learned a whole lot from what you present to all the viewers and I like your style of teaching the fundamentals. I will continue to watch and learn what you present Thank you!
I first saw Mike on a video with Shawn Ryan, doing a funny but educational video on survival gear on the cheap. Loved that - glad to see Mike has his own channel, I am definitely a fan. I learned a lot from this video
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!
no,what you need is an advanced carbine course usually 300 to 500 bucks. its crazy people drop that on an optic but never take a class XD
@@mikie1466 Agree, I just meant this type of video.
What a great, quick, easy to understand explanation of the "C" clamp and overall grip of the carbine style. I've been wondering recently why I see so many people using what I thought was an odd grip on the barrel, now I totally get it....time for me to hit the range and put into practice.
I was in the US Army, 11-Bravo, and was never taught most of what I just saw. Nice to see correct usage of a carbine and look forward to seeing more videos.
Well, you also learn bad habits after a while too. I can't tell you how many times I've found myself running drills with my support hand on the mag well.
I was a super pog and while I’m not ashamed of that at all, every marine is a rifleman and on table 2 and beyond, they still weren’t teaching this. On the 25 yard portion, I was totally doing a mag well grip all this time.
@@MrRdvs87 i personally had a grip on the hand guard, but not the correct c grip position.
You are still way ahead of us in support. Which is fault of the DoD or probably the Army itself. We are taught to shoot in the prone, the fox hole, and that is it. Which I believe is a failure in strategy. But that is a longer topic.
Ryan Bond now that I’m in grad school in very unfriendly territory, I don’t shoot much anymore, but I’ll have to try this more once I do.
Love these videos. I’m always looking for ways to get better at everything. The older I get, the more I realize how much I don’t know, but I enjoy learning what I don’t know. Thank you for these, Mike.
Dude this 7 mins changed my whole line of thinking. I’m over here putting risers on my sights and tilting the gun to try and get my head straight with the butt stock pressed in to my shoulder, but what you said makes a ton of sense, and I guess I’ve seen other really good shooters do what you showed but it didn’t click until you explained it so my simple mind could understand. Pretty new to this whole AR thing and hoping to be able to take some in person instruction at some point, but in the mean time this will help me in my self teaching.
Loving all of your stuff, Mike. The reason? You give me the why! I learn so much better when I can understand why I am doing something. Fantastic stuff, keep up the great work!
The outtakes at the end had me in stitches.
fr
That was solid Mike, and the outtakes almost killed me.
Mike Glover is by far one of the best instructors I've seen!
You need to see more instructors. His info is kind of shaky.
Great video. It was an honor meeting you in October at the 5.11 ABR class. I was the teenager who talked to you and I’m going to be sending an email in the next couple days so I wanted to give you a heads up. Thanks for the great info.
BunzoReviews you as well brother. I remember you! Thanks for the support!
I love this information. We can't get to the range, due to ammo costs right now, and this is great training for at home practice! Thank you!
I actually learned 2 things from this and truly thought I already knew the basics
I thought the “C clamp” was a tacticool gimmicky kinda thing bc I’ve never seen anyone explain it like that, I’m going to have to incorporate it into my training
Sean Kennedy c clamp is a different way to hold a rifle. is uncomfortable on one my rifles but works on my ar pistol.
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.
@@Cirux321 EXACTLY! 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.
@@swaghauler8334 well yeah, you won't be doing cqb for hours at a time with no breaks. You only hold it that wày during actual situations where you want that sort of control
@@riptaway Which is 90% of LEO operations. Trust me on this...
In fact, I once spend 11 HOURS standing in a locked stairwell at the local college when Joe Biden (then VP) came for a visit. He cost our county HALF A MILLION DOLLARS just in overtime.
Just bought my first AR-15 to celebrate betos departure from the race.... Gonna watch all your content about fundamentals, etc...
Suggest to watch actual military fundamental videos first (youtube)then see these type of "operator's" videos.
That's what is trained in the 82nd as well... Didnt know it was called the "C-clamp" though
Hahahaha nice profile picture
I like how you incorporate the thumb pointing into the c. Good job SGM
I find it interesting that the two basic stances used in firearms training are essentially, less exaggerated versions horse stance and forward stance.
I just watched an interview he did on the new Shawn Ryan show and podcast. Mikes experience is something else.
I watched that too.
Definitely worth watching!
Pretty awesome first guest. I can really relate to mike. Which in turn helps me comprehend what he says easier. Great teacher. And love finding a trove of new to me content that is being taught by someone who is truly a professional at what they do
Hey brother, appreciate the time you took on this and the great explanations. Throughout all my years of experience in Law Enforcement and the military, no one has ever taught me these fundamentals. Crazy right? So Thank You!
Depends on when you served too. A lot has changed since the M-14s and M-16 A2s.
Even after all these years it’s good to see new (to me) stuff, gonna give it a try thanks
Good stuff, brother. Well presented. DOL
PJF! Hope you're well!
I mean, who is this guy? What, does he think he's a Green Beret or something?
@John Wick
I was being a smart alec. The guy's literally a Green Beret.
Too much rpg player.
Its good there is youtube, otherwise this guy would be driving around in a crusty old pick up truck with a gun rack walking around in flip flops.
Yes to more fundamentals, thanks for the lesson
Great instruction Mike! Thanks for keeping it simple and straight forward. This makes it easy to teach others these simple but critical skills. Looking forward to more.
I subscribed due to the quick repetition of relevant information without drying it out with unnecessary information. Quick and impactful.
As an old Army dog...real old...did my time back in the 80's...was a 13B so we did not get to go through a lot of hands on training with the rifle....
Big thanks and shout out to all your help...and with the days we are living the better prepared and trained we are may just come in handy...
As a 13B from the 2010s... neither did we. Yet I got that sweet military grade tinnitus. I think I have had more trigger time in the last couple range days than my entire enlistment.
Thank you. I will use this with my GF and my daughter. They are getting ARs for Christmas. EDGE. Educate, demonstrate, Guide and Evaluation
Not only was that some of the best instruction on AR ergonomics I’ve ever seen, but the blooper real was hilarious 😎.
Well done, sir
Great material for Aussie's to hit the training ground with Mike.
Cheers,
Big Ears
I really like this guy's aggressive speech pattern. Very military, makes things more understandable. However, i like to be efficent with several grip patterns. You may just get your c clamp blown off, so it's important to even practice one arm manipulation. I actually enjoy doing both c clamp and magwell grip on real short barrels like that, it allows for faster manipulation of your mag swap. I am a veteran as well and i will say that i enjoyed your video.
Now I know what I was doing wrong.... everything.
Mee too!
Me three
Try holding the rifle by the front of the mag well 👍🏻
Shit all I did right was holding the pistol grip
Me 4!
I was Infantry in the early to mid 80’s. A lot has changed since then. Thanks for the quick tutorial on the “c-clamp”. I’ve been wondering why it’s done that way.
I have been shooting since I was 4 yrs. old. My first gun was a Daisy rifle that shot round cork bullets. By age 11, I was learning how to shoot a 12 Guage. ( I was a skinny little kid, and my Dad was trying to toughen me up.) At one time, I owned 2 deer hunting rifles. Now, in my old age, I am shooting an AR-15. It was so foreign compared to a 30.06 bolt or my lever action 30.30. Your's is the first video that I have seen to properly handle this wonderful rifle. Thank you so much for your training. It is very much appreciated. Kim Willott, a 2A Pastor and Certified Pistol Instructor.
Lmaaoooo, I absolutely love how professional you are in your videos. I've always assumed you never cursed, so these bloopers in the end was truly hilarious.
Mike, thank you for all of the phenomenal content that you provide to us! You've assisted with my development as a shooter in many ways.
When the boogaloo kicks off I definitely want this guy on my team!
boog check

I'm sick 🤢 cough* cough*
Thanks for passing on the knowledge. If it works for Spec. Ops. Why wouldn’t it work for anyone else.
@@papimaximus95 True but effectively holding a rifle is something that translates across whether you're special forces or a civilian. Good foundations are universal. There's so much useful knowledge you can learn from someone like this and apply it to civilian scenarios, it translates more often than where it does not.
Wow! 63 yrs old & still going to school. Lots to learn! Thank you, Brother
The ATF just added this video to its favorite list!!! LOL
I thought I knew most everything there was about operating my beloved AR rifles. You taught me a valuable lesson today, which I will share with my friends and family. Hopefully I won't have to use these skills any time soon, but my AR-10 is locked and loaded just in case looters and thugs think my house is anything besides an EZ-PASS to the afterlife!

I searched lots of stuff on UA-cam and you give me the most straight-forward answer of why gripping the AR-15 with C Clamp. Awesome!
I watched this video expecting to learn something new. I did not. Thats not a negative thing in my eyes. It means that the leaders I've had in my military career, and what I've taught to my soldiers over many years, has been the proper way to do things. So I'm glad I watched this, because it reinforced my knowledge, and the purpose behind how I train my guys.
