This video discusses the perceived difficulty of shooting 10mm versus .40 S&W, concluding that recoil anticipation, not the caliber itself, is the primary factor affecting accuracy. The host emphasizes fundamental shooting techniques like proper sight alignment, trigger control, and breath control as crucial for accurate shooting with any caliber. He suggests that breaking the habit of anticipating recoil is key to improving shot-to-shot accuracy.

John G. Johnson, owner of a firearms training facility, presents 20 tips for handgun accuracy, divided into 10 common and 10 less common techniques. He emphasizes fundamentals like grip, stance, and sight alignment, while also introducing advanced concepts such as trigger prepping, mental rehearsal, and weak-hand shooting. The goal is to build consistency, confidence, and ultimately, improve accuracy through deliberate practice and understanding of firearm mechanics.

This video, presented by Chris Sajnog, a Navy SEAL instructor, explores the physiological effects of holding one's breath while shooting. It delves into how breath control impacts marksmanship, drawing on Navy SEAL training and principles. The description also promotes Sajnog's free "New Rule Manifesto" on learning to shoot and his Linktree for various social channels, training, and resources, emphasizing a 'warrior lifestyle' and mindset.

This video emphasizes that zeroing a rifle is a critical training exercise, not just a setup step. It advocates for a disciplined approach to zeroing and confirming that involves printing targets before each range day, engaging from various distances (50, 100, 200 yards), and analyzing the results to understand the rifle's story and personal performance. The instructor, drawing from training with Haley Strategic, highlights how this process builds discipline, self-awareness, and mastery.

This guide outlines five key tips for improving firearm accuracy, emphasizing the critical roles of aiming (sight alignment/picture for irons, red dot superposition for optics) and trigger control. It also details proper grip techniques for maximizing surface area and equal pressure, breath control to minimize disruption, and the importance of follow-through for repeatable shot processes. The instruction highlights that consistent focus on the process, not just the target, leads to better accuracy.

This video demonstrates the principles of designated marksman rifle (DMR) marksmanship, focusing on engaging targets at extended ranges (100-500 meters). It covers proper scope usage, trigger control techniques like the 'squeeze' and 'empty lung' method for breath holding, and the importance of consistency for accurate fire. The instruction emphasizes achieving hits at distances up to half a kilometer using standard ammunition.

This video features an interview with Terra Newell, a survivor of a violent knife attack by her mother's con artist ex-husband. Newell recounts the events leading up to the attack, her self-defense strategies during the assault, and her recovery. The discussion highlights the importance of situational awareness, fighting back when escape is impossible, and the psychological impact of trauma. Newell emphasizes breath control and intuitive reactions as key survival elements.

This video features a detailed review of Paramount Tactical's Long Range Level 1 shooting class. The class covers weapon selection, optics, shooting stances, breath control, and adjusting for windage and elevation. It emphasizes safety, professionalism, and community, with instructors providing personalized guidance. The review highlights the class's comprehensive curriculum, state-of-the-art facilities, and the positive learning environment, recommending it for those looking to improve their long-range shooting skills.

This video emphasizes the critical role of breath control in precision shooting, particularly under physical exertion. Instructor Scott Satterlee advises shooters to remember to breathe when not actively engaged and to avoid holding their breath for extended periods (ideally under 9-15 seconds) to prevent vision impairment due to hypoxia. He notes that in dynamic shooting sports like Three Gun, forgetting to breathe can lead to mental fumbles.

This video explains that proper breath control for pistol shooting is not about holding your breath, but rather pausing your natural breathing cycle momentarily during the trigger squeeze. Holding your breath can lead to hyperventilation, blurry vision, and muscle movement that destabilizes the firearm. The instructor emphasizes relaxation and natural breathing, suggesting a brief pause during the trigger pull is sufficient. For timed events, comfortable breathing is preferred over breath-holding to maintain sight alignment.

This video showcases a young shooter, R James O'Neal (7 years old), successfully engaging steel targets at 1150 yards. The instruction emphasizes proper rifle handling, safety, and target acquisition techniques for long-range shooting. The session highlights the importance of consistent breath control, trigger discipline, and using a spotting scope for confirmation.
