This guide, presented by expert Joel Park, details a dry fire training drill focused on improving trigger control and grip tension for faster, more accurate shooting. It emphasizes the importance of simulating live-fire conditions during dry practice to correct issues like low-left shots caused by anticipation and improper hand tension. The drill involves controlled trigger presses, immediate trigger breaks, and rapid-fire pairs to refine technique.

This video by Joel Park focuses on identifying and mitigating shooting tension, particularly grip and trigger control issues. He demonstrates how to set conditions for problems to appear and introduces drills like the Progressive Return Drill to improve trigger manipulation and reduce tension. The discussion also touches on how equipment capabilities influence performance expectations.

Instruction from Joel Park, a recognized firearms instructor, addresses common accuracy degradation during extended practice. He explains how mental and physical fatigue leads to subconscious recoil anticipation and improper trigger/grip techniques, causing shots to trend low and left. Park offers practical solutions including trigger press focus, support hand tension maintenance, and strategic breaks.

Instruction from Joel Park, a Grand Master in practical shooting, details three major trials in his competitive journey. He emphasizes the importance of focused practice, managing physical tension and perception of speed, and developing discipline to execute pre-planned strategies under pressure. Park suggests these elements are crucial for shooters to overcome plateaus and improve performance.

This guide details how to tune recoil springs for subjective recoil impulse, drawing on insights from firearms instructor Joel Park. It covers selecting lighter springs for a softer felt recoil, understanding the difference between perceived and objective performance, and addressing common misconceptions about muzzle bounce. The guide also touches on ammunition weight and provides recommendations for recoil spring weights to enhance the shooting experience without compromising reliability.

This guide, based on insights from firearms instructor Ben Stoeger, focuses on maintaining consistent grip tension and index for reliable sight alignment, especially with red dot optics. Stoeger, a professional competition shooter and published author, emphasizes that these fundamentals are crucial for all shooters, regardless of their sighting system. The techniques discussed are applicable to various handguns and shooting disciplines.

This video demonstrates a one-handed firearm return drill, emphasizing minimal input to bring the gun back to the point of aim after firing. Instructor Ben Stoeger highlights the importance of maintaining grip tension, posture, and focus on the target. The drill is designed to isolate and improve control over the firearm's recovery, especially when using only one hand, which is presented as a more challenging training tool.

This video explains how to balance pushing your limits in firearms training with the need to assess and correct mistakes. Instructor Joel Park advises training at a pace that is slightly uncomfortable, allowing you to identify the cause of errors. If you can articulate what went wrong, you're likely in the right training zone. If the task is too difficult or results are unpredictable, it's time to dial back the pace or complexity.

This video focuses on improving arm and shoulder mobility to enhance shooting performance. It emphasizes the connection between body tension, particularly in the shoulders and arms, and the ability to track targets and execute smooth movements. Exercises are provided to help identify and alleviate tension, leading to faster and more precise actions like drawing and shooting on the move.

This video showcases a shooting training session focused on practical application rather than a static range. The primary training objective is to improve magazine changes while in recoil or retreating, and quickly re-establishing a shooting stance afterward. The session incorporates realistic shooting positions, utilizing barricades and windows instead of a clean firing line. The narrator emphasizes the importance of body control and muscle engagement for effective shooting, acknowledging personal areas for improvement such as shoulder and grip tension, and weapon lowering during reloads. The video highlights the continuous effort required to enhance shooting proficiency.

This video discusses effective methods for teaching and providing feedback on proper handgun grips, emphasizing a 'normal G-Force grip' based on fundamentals. The instructor shares personal preferences for aggressive grips enhanced by stippling or grip frames, and outlines in-class exercises including demonstrations, explanations of grip components, and a 'handshake demonstration' to convey proper tension and strength.

This BDU Shooting Academy video, Part 1 of a series, focuses on pistol recoil management. It provides foundational instruction on grip tension, detailing which muscles to activate and relax to better control firearm recoil. The video aims to educate viewers on essential shooting techniques. Part 2 is announced to continue with more tips.
