This video emphasizes that real improvement in shooting skills comes from dry fire practice, with live fire serving as a test of dry fire effectiveness. Instructor Joel Park advises using live fire sessions to identify specific issues, then employing micro-drills or dry fire to address them. He also discusses the importance of varying shooting distances to understand how target proximity affects technique and the critical nature of input at longer ranges.

This drill, adapted from the pistol El Prez, tests a shooter's ability to rapidly switch rifle shoulders for engagement, simulating breaking cover in CQB scenarios. It emphasizes muscle memory for smooth transitions under time and accuracy constraints, requiring all 12 shots to be hits within 9 seconds at 7 meters.

This guide details a productive handgun training day focused on close, fast shooting with a Walther PDP, emphasizing advanced techniques like 'snapping' eyes to targets and proper trigger control to avoid 'trigger freeze.' The session, led by Joel Park, highlights diagnostic training and organic methodology over rigid round counts, drawing from competition drills like El Prez.

Lucas Botkin demonstrates the El Prez drill, a dynamic shooting exercise incorporating a reload, while testing new magazine carriers from T.REX Arms. He reviews his performance, noting a 4.62-second time and areas for improvement like 'trigger freeze,' highlighting the drill's utility for practicing high-speed weapon manipulation and reload efficiency. The video showcases practical application of gear in a performance-oriented context.

Joel Park, a recognized instructor and competitive shooter, advocates for a finesse-based approach to target transitions. He critiques methods of physically 'driving' the gun with the lower body, arguing it leads to inconsistency. Instead, Park emphasizes using visual cues like 'sight lift' and engaging the core for stability, allowing the light pistol to naturally float to the next target. This method, exemplified by drills like El Prez, prioritizes precision and discipline over brute force movement.

This expert-level instruction from GBRS Group emphasizes the critical importance of target focus and leading with your head for improved shooting speed and accuracy. By consistently staring at the intended shot destination and leading your head movement, shooters can significantly reduce transition times and ensure their red dot sight naturally finds the target. This technique is presented as a fundamental improvement for drills like El Prez, cutting down execution times by half.

This video demonstrates a modified El Prez drill focusing on dynamic movement and target engagement. The instructor emphasizes proper footwork for efficient pivoting and maintaining ground contact. Key techniques include lifting heels for a faster pivot, establishing a master grip before drawing, and engaging targets once the sternum is aligned downrange.

This video details the El Prez drill adapted for carbine use, focusing on speed, accuracy, and efficient reloads. Cole, representing GBRS Group, demonstrates the drill, emphasizing the standard of firing six rounds (two per target) followed by a reload and another six rounds, all within an 11-second par time. The drill is designed to test fundamental shooting skills under pressure.

This episode of Practical Shooting After Dark features discussions on competitive shooting news and personal experiences. Frank Rizzi shares his transition to an open division handgun, a Bull Armory SAS II, noting the increased speed and motivation it provides, despite a learning curve with the new platform. Ben Stoeger discusses the benefits of having high-level shooters in his classes, highlighting their relentless pursuit of perfection and open-mindedness to feedback.

This video details the 'Rifle Switching Shoulders El Prez' drill, an evaluation of a shooter's ability to transition between shoulders while engaging multiple targets under a time constraint. The drill emphasizes developing muscle memory for effective engagement around corners and in confined spaces, requiring all 12 shots to be hits within 9 seconds at 7 meters.

This video details the Rifle/Pistol El Prez drill, an advanced tactical shooting exercise. It tests a shooter's ability to rapidly engage multiple targets with a rifle, transition to a pistol, and re-engage the same targets, all within a strict 10-second time limit from a 7-meter distance. The drill emphasizes building skills and stacking tolerances under pressure, requiring precise movement, foot positioning, and rapid target acquisition.

This comprehensive training guide, led by Lucas Botkin of T.REX ARMS, details several advanced pistol drills designed to enhance speed, accuracy, and movement under stress. It covers variations of the El Prez, distance transitions, long-range Bill Drills, and movement-focused exercises with forced reloads. The video also includes a comparison of different pistol platforms like the Glock 19 and STI 2011 in a USPSA-style classifier.
