Information for the New AR Owner


Here are some of my favorite training videos for new AR owners. 

How to clean it Air Force style. 


How to shoot it Marine Corps style. 


This is a good intro on exterior ballistics and where to zero your AR.  I like a 200 meter zero for most optics. 


This is a surprisingly good intro on operating the AR. 


Clint Smith is my favorite instructor.  I agree with almost everything he teaches.  Here’s an intro to his urban rifle course. 

Part one is the classroom portion.  Please don’t skip it.  There’s a lot of solid information in it. 


Part two is the range portion. 


Dave Spaulding is another excellent instructor. 


Here is a video on accessorizing your AR.  When it comes to accessories, I believe that less is more.  I like a good set of iron sights, a practical optic, a two point sling, and a white light.  I don’t care for the vertical foregrips and prefer a nice set of rail covers so it doesn’t feel like I’m trying to hang onto a wood rasp.
