Tactical Rifleman will AK47's work with this and the spinning targets are expensive. I think it would be cheaper to make one with a axel from a bicycle and jerry rig a peice of steel for cheaper
One of the only times, especially online, that someone has described what is needed for firearms training for actual gunfights. Usually it's front sight focus only, or target focus. I've even heard to never break front sight focus to look at the target. Gunfights are not flat ranges and nice to see specific content focusing on this. Great video!
jpturcotte1 amen brother and you can count on being sick as a dog when a home invasion happens. Love this channel because they're all about the mindset.
I’m an Aussie female so I know I’m not you’re target audience but these are awesome videos. From a civilian point of view there is nothing sexier than a man who can protect his family. Curious to know if Karl’s wife and the others wives get out in the range for practice or are proficient shooters also assuming you all have multiple arms in your homes?
Susan, thanks for watching. My wife does not shoot as much as she should, but some of my buddies have wives that shoot regularly. We give girls two points for liking guns. Strength & Honor, TR.
Great video. This channel is awesome. Good to listen to someone who actually knows what there talking about. Thanks Karl to u and your friends for your service. 👍
Dam good pistol skill set right there brother. The one step at a time in good pistol shooting is the only way forward for serious skill level increase ,cheers lads another no nonsense video .
I'd have to say man I really enjoy watching this man videos from the clearing the room videos to this and much more of them and he's a great teacher accurate shot now that man if you perfect the art of Marksmanship you'll be a better shooter for it
Love this target. It was awesome to shoot it at the conclusion of the Combat Pistol and Carbine course at Rock Castle last weekend. I agree, it is a great training tool. I'm going to buy one. Frist attempt I came in at around 14 or 15 seconds, then afyer we were all done, Instructor Zee did it in about 8. You guys are awesome.
Thanks Curt, it was great having you out at the course. You picked up combat shooting fast. When you order this spinner from MGM Targets, don’t forget to use the promo code. Strength and Honor, TR
Another Great Video. Love the "Real Life" combat perspective transmitted in these lessons, things that inevitably you cannot learn in regular classes/ranges...
Michael, if you are shooting ANY of MGM's products with a traditional defense caliber pistol (9, 10, 40, 45, 357 Mag or Sig, .41 magnum) the targets are guaranteed for ever. The targets are AR500 steel, BOLTED to the hub so you have no welds to break. If you have a warranty issue, MGM pays the shipping, and you don't have to send them a copy of your receipt because you bought it 17 years ago. These targets have been HAMMERED in the MGM Ironman 3 gun for years, and they always work. MGM didn't get to be the largest portable target manufacturer in the country because by building crap! Buy once, cry once!

NICE SHOOTING, I can easily see how that spinner target would be a challenge. Thank You for another great lesson. My TACTICAL RIFLEMAN shirt arrived the other day it BAD ASS.... BIG RON OUT....
Excellent video with valuable information. Could you make a future video on proper RDS/MRDS placement on a rifle/carbine and the potential problems of mounting them too far forward or too far back?
Combat Shooting. FINALLY! At least there's one moving target. The target MUST MOVE!! It's so redundant to train for "practical or combat shooting" at stationary targets. Yet that's what's done 96% of the time. Any one knows bad guys won't stand still for us (or LEO, military, agents...etc.). And even if you're jus going to the range for "fun" why not be training with moving targets. It's more challenging. Whether or not the idea was to train for a real shootout that civilians hope will never happen...usually never does. But, instead of only using a "360 spinning target"...make one that pendulum's left and right. If you could put a computer chip on it so that it could randomly do left/right patterns (e.g. lt, rt, lt, lft then rt, lt..etc.) Not expensive to do. Not hard to program into a simple program. Odd no one has made such a target yet. Or a target attached to elastic bands that will move left right up down unpredictably. If really cheap...dig a ditch some one can walk left and right in holding the target above his head SAFE ...he can move the target up down diagonal...mix it up...train at night too..add strobe lights, other gun shots...sudden..to distract...
The MGM Ironman used to run these at long distance. Also, lots of smaller matches still do (big shout out to the Montana Squad). I was running a Leupold MK-IV on my SR-25 in one match. Very doable with most optics.
We trust shooting ball 9mm/45acp no closer that 12 meters at steel targets. Yes, sometimes you get "bit" by little slivers of copper jacket. Chicks dig scars. Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR.
Sick channel dude! former 2/10 B here, starting a Glock customization company after recent ETS. Hope to work with you in the future brother. Keep up the great work!
Buck , let’s pimp your shit here on Tactical Rifleman. The whole point of this channel is for SOF SMEs to have a place to share tips. Go to the message tab and let’s get you into the mix. Thanks for watching. Strength and Honor, TR
My local club had one of these spinners and banned it because houses in the subdivision behind the range were finding large pieces of bullet fragments in their yards! When the target face was at 45 degrees, rounds were being sent over the berm. Not a safe design in my humble opinion.
Great design if you own the whole range fan, behind the berm ( required by military). However, even if you don’t, you can build a plywood “shelter” over the top and sides of the target. The spawl is low-velocity and easily stopped. Thanks for watching, TR
Start at 3 meters. When you get better, then move back to 6 meters. For this video I quickly shot these groups at 3 meters, just to have a example to show the viewers. Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR
We have several sniper/precision rifle videos out, and several more in "editing." We put out a new video every Friday. So, stay tuned. Strength & Honor, TR.
you know whats best? those are really good shooters, but when you go and do less than 8s we all think: man, those guys suck at it... but im pretty sure i would go black on ammo before i could make that target spin 360 ^^"
Yep. So did I the first few times I shot it. It pissed me off, and I swore I would conquer the frickin thing. That's the point of it... something harder to push you to the next skill level. If it was easy, you wouldn't have a goal. Hang in there, and train, train, train. Strength & Honor, TR
Just do your research, and ask around you'll find one. They are hard to find in California, but are everywhere here in America. THat's another reason why I love this target... It breaks down flat, for transport, and you can pretty well just drive out into the mountains and just shoot this puppy.
I just looked up the price for the spinner target...Looks like I'm buying some ar 500 steel plates and building my own for 1/3 the price or less lol. WOW.
This thing looks like a great training tool. I am always looking for train as you fight training aids. Does this thing got an NSN? Either way, thanks for the code. Love this channel.
How do you keep the ATS belt from riding up that 1/2 inch or so when pulling up on an item from a molle mounted pouch attached on it? Not a huge deal but gets annoying sometimes. Love their gear.
My love handles and beer gut pushes down on the top of the belt. Sucks getting old. My kit is ever-changing. Play with it, and figure it out. Your load out might need different support than mine. Some try using keepers. Others use Velcro internal belts.
ATS tactical makes great gear. Located in Kentucky and their gear is combat proven through Fort Campbell soldiers. They have a store a couple minutes outside the main gate.
Don't shoot steel closer than 10 meters... We shoot this spinner at 12 meters, because of the ever-changing angles and because that is what MGM recommends that it is shot at. TR

I am Surprised that you guys don’t advocate using an anatomically correct target, the other day I saw your video that showed the vitals on the target I thought that was great you know for me it has to be for combat shooting anatomically correct
We do. I always push Anatomically correct targets. However, we use dots to initially develop shooting skills. First learn accuracy, then speed, then tactics. Thanks for watching. TR
where can i get one?
mgmtargets.com MGM has also agreed to give our Tactical Rifleman viewers a 10% discount; just enter promo-code “TACR10” at check out
Thanks guys!
Tactical Rifleman will AK47's work with this and the spinning targets are expensive. I think it would be cheaper to make one with a axel from a bicycle and jerry rig a peice of steel for cheaper
Dan weirdo It's pretty much always going to be cheaper to make your own targets. People are paying for the convenience.
@@hondaridgelineenduser5934 did u make it if so how?

I like how Karl low key smokes the other guys hahaha
Karl's like hold my beer and let me Annie Oakley this shit.
We just got one last week at our local range. Pretty fun, but I thought it was gimmicky. You changed my mind.
Karl thank you for explaining the practical application of using this target. Then demonstrating the importance of accurate double taps.
Thanks for watching, TR
5:11 I like how Karl started from his rifle position.

Damn Karl, that was some impressive shooting!!! I must admit, I'm intrigued by that spinning target..
Very professional way of explaining target acquisition and engagement as always it shows the experience .
Thanks for passing the knowledge down to us who are willing to learn from it
Eyes on sights,not the guy w the AK, thats solid gold thanx
Awesome, Super usefull. Just straight to the point, no fluff or BS. I'm diggin your Quick, down and dirty videos.

Whoo boy are they proud of those targets. Just looked at them.
Think I'll just build one. ;)
Don't forget the grease fitting.

Spinners = Humility! Makes you practice like you mean it!
Very good idea, Thank you very much
Carl is a surgeon with that bad boy.
Often used in John Farnams classes, though he uses a different model. You have to hit and make the hit at the right time.
I want your shirt. Thank you guys for your service. Keep up the great work, hope to train with you sometime.

5:17 Lots of push force in the double tap followed by the immediate T box shot.
12618
Two to the Chest, and one to the Head. This target is great for many drills.
Great job team. Thank you. Moving focus is on my list.
That does look tricky; but it also seems like a way to test your focus.
Excellent video! Thanks for the concise and very effective instruction.
Thanks for watching, TR
Seems like a great workout but couldn't hitting the top target past the axis, so it's leaning back at 45ish degrees, send ricochets over the berm?
what a clever and simple target.... awesome
Whoah nelly. 7.5. Well done.
Please load some technical ideas about aerial shooting
NICE SHOOTING, I can easily see how that spinner target would be a challenge. Thank You for another great lesson. My TACTICAL RIFLEMAN shirt arrived the other day it BAD ASS....

Where did you get the multi-dot target? What are the dimensions of the target? What is the dot size? Did not find the dot target at MGM. Thank you.
Great training tip bud
Mr Ericson is really that guy:) De Oppresso Liber. Glad you home safe sir.
Thank You.
just got one, coupon still works
Nice way to shoot impressive
Wow smoking fast Carl, impressive
OutDamnStanding block of instruction.
Thanks, perfect
You're welcome!
Great video love this channel.
Thx
Whoa great shooter dude! 😮
Another fantastic video.
That is a good target. Wonder if i can get it done with 7 rounds of 158gr .357 magnum

Nah... I'm a rifle guy.
Great vid guys!
Karl , can’t thank you enough 👌👍
Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR
Very nice shooting sir
Thanks for watching, TR
Very useful video!!!
Karl, What low profile ear pro are you using ? Thx 👌👍
What would be the optimum range to the paper targets? And the width of those circles?
3 inch circles are good for 3,5, & 7 meter drills. Past that, we usually use 6 inch circles.
Appreciated, thanks!
What’s wrong with the Texas star?
Thank you👍
Which match had a 300y spinner? What optic/magnification were you using? The reticle stadia would have to be fine to not obscure the top plate!
The MGM Ironman used to run these at long distance. Also, lots of smaller matches still do (big shout out to the Montana Squad). I was running a Leupold MK-IV on my SR-25 in one match. Very doable with most optics.
Great vid and appreciate the tips.
Thanks
NICE!
Very cool, seems a lot like a boxer training on a speed bag
Great no nonsense video as always. Are you using ball rounds? What about ricochet? Don't use steel. Hence the doubt.

Where are these ranges that let you shoot steel like that? I have trouble finding ranges that are OK with you drawing from concealment...
Just do your research, and ask around you'll find one. They are hard to find in California, but are everywhere here in America. THat's another reason why I love this target... It breaks down flat, for transport, and you can pretty well just drive out into the mountains and just shoot this puppy.

Actually the best target is a pinko or gameshow winner. But still a good video.
do they make one for 22cal?
Yep
That low key overkill lol
