Ben Stoeger explains that while group shooting can be a useful check for firearm equipment and mechanical accuracy, it's not a primary training method for practical or action shooting disciplines. He emphasizes that focusing solely on tight groups can overlook critical technique flaws relevant to dynamic shooting scenarios. For action shooters, improvement is measured by performance in timed drills and multiple target engagement, not just static group size.
Ben Stoeger discusses the B8 target, explaining why it can be a double-edged sword in firearms training. While effective for teaching foundational skills like precise trigger control and sight alignment at 25 yards, he cautions against letting training become solely focused on it. The B8's small scoring zones are hitable with accurate equipment and good fundamentals, but Stoeger emphasizes that it's easy for training to "live" on B8s, neglecting the faster, more dynamic shooting scenarios encountered in practical application. He suggests that once basic group shooting proficiency is achieved, transitioning to more dynamic drills is crucial for developing skills relevant to real-world use.
