Wanted to share some golden nuggets I've found on youtube over time

https://youtu.be/Es5E0cG44CQ

https://youtu.be/5cvir1CgWd4

Both of these are from the same instructor. He's very well spoken. I like his comments on the thumb nail test he did for students to show them why they need to focus on the reticle in a scope rather than the target even though both will appear clear and in focus.

The safety discussion at the beginning of the pistol class he gave was also very informative and made sense. Some scary stats he gave there. I've witnessed some things at public ranges that made me nervous too but luckily not as extreme as SSG John Arcularius has in his time.

I've downloaded both to my laptop in case it disappears some day could re-upload to bitchute or something

Just started watching the first video.  Great points he makes.

I get a lot of ROTC cadets in my local 'seeds and tell them a variation of his "position is a luxury" speech.  Something along the lines of "We're not trying to teach you the only way of shooting a rifle accurately and know that some of this is not "combat relevant".  What we're teaching you is how to hit the target.  Until you're good enough to make consistent hits on a target from a steady "ideal" position" you won't know what good enough is if you need to make a shot.

We defend and we build a way of life, not for America alone, but for all mankind. Ours is a high duty, a noble task." ---Franklin Delano Roosevelt May 26th, 1940.

I think Ken Roxburgh said it best, "You'll never learn how to shoot, until you learn to shoot fundamentally."

That's where we come in.   :)

No problem, I've had them downloaded for years. I thought others may not have seen them around here and they fit in closely with what appleseed teaches so why not share
