This video details the 'Alternating Ball and Dummy' drill designed to help shooters overcome flinching. By announcing whether the next round is a dummy or live, instructors can isolate and address subconscious flinching responses. The drill emphasizes trigger control and helps the shooter's subconscious mind differentiate between a live round and a dummy, reducing involuntary reactions.

This drill, led by USCCA's Director of Education and Training Steve Fischer and Instructor Program Coordinator Mike Brickner, utilizes snap caps to diagnose and condition out the common shooter's flinch. By mixing dummy rounds with live ammunition, shooters are forced to maintain a smooth trigger press and a steady firearm, as a flinch will result in a non-fire event when a snap cap is encountered. This technique helps improve shot placement by preventing the firearm from dropping low on the target due to recoil anticipation.
