Body Armor Carbine Stabilization
Added 2021-09-14 21:02:56 +0000 UTCHello Tiers II and III,
This video came from a discussion on a Tier III live chat a while back but should be revisited now that we have many new Patrons who probably haven't seen this one. The question was how to tighten up groupings while shooting offhand out past 60 yards and at a quicker rate of fire. The member who asked was hitting about a 4 inches off when shooting rapid fire offhand and was looking for more stability when picking up the pace. Keep it up, that's actually great shooting offhand rapid fire, training and range time will hone it in.
This video covers one of the techniques that helped me during some of the tougher qualifications at the agency.

2021-10-01 22:42:09 +0000 UTCBack in the day… WAYYYY back I used to tuck my stock into the right side of my webgear shoulder strap just to give a little for reference and support from flopping on the move…

2021-09-16 14:24:52 +0000 UTCThis will probably depend on the size plates and how the carrier fits you. Does it cover the pocket where your arm attaches to your shoulder? Might need smaller plates for enhanced mobility, they make lots of different cuts these days. Also, check out https://www.tacticaltailor.com/ they have lots of good fitting stuff.

2021-09-16 13:36:07 +0000 UTCA few months ago on your carbine fundamentals vid I asked about this for a smaller person. A plate covers a lot of my upper body so if it covers the area where I would normally shoulder a stock, would I just put it over that area?

2021-09-16 05:34:02 +0000 UTCShawn I hear you mention the CIA quals a bit, I've tried to look them up or any info on them and there's not much out there. Mostly just FBI standards. Would you mind sharing some of the more challenging shoots and time requirements needed? In the BW episode you mention a timed 25m pistol shoot? I'm sure they keep them under wraps, so maybe show us some drills time timed goals. Thanks for the previous pointers!
