Joel Park discusses the value of data collection in shooting, emphasizing that while quantitative metrics like scores and times can be tracked, they often fail to capture the qualitative aspects of improvement, such as discipline and trigger control. He suggests that for immediate feedback, slow-motion video can be useful for self-analysis, even if not archived. For more in-depth reflection, a journal can help articulate specific challenges and areas of focus, turning general observations into actionable training plans. For online coaching, recent match footage or videos of specific drills are recommended for analysis.

Ryan's expertise, derived from his SEAL background, provides valuable insights into pushing the limits of handgun capabilities.

This video details the 'Freedom Isn't Free Challenge' from the 6th Hour Academy, utilizing the Sig Connect app and a four-square target. The drill involves two magazines of five rounds each, starting from a ready position. Participants engage one square with five rounds, perform a tactical reload, and then engage a second square with five more rounds. The goal is to complete the drill efficiently, with a demonstrated time of 5.35 seconds and a hit factor of 1.87.

This video details a challenging team-based drill inspired by the 'Navy Shields,' an elite military unit. The drill focuses on the ability to rapidly reassemble firearms (M16 and Glock) under pressure and execute a complex course of fire using only iron sights. It emphasizes teamwork, physical exertion, and precise shooting, with penalties for missed targets.

This video demonstrates practicing the GSSF National Challenge Course of Fire, a 50-shot competition shot at distances from 5 to 25 yards with a 15-second time limit per 10-shot string. The instructor uses a Glock 44 and explains target scoring, emphasizing the need to clear malfunctions with a tap-rack-bang procedure. The course is noted for its simplicity and potential to win a firearm.

This video details a self-created training drill designed to test marksmanship and physical endurance. The drill involves sprinting to a 200-yard line, firing a single shot, and then repeating the sprint. The instructor notes the importance of adjusting for environmental factors, such as a slight uphill incline affecting the first shot group, and uses PMC Bronze 55gr ammunition.

This video details Moondog 2A's participation in the 'Let It Snow' challenge by Day at the Range. The challenge involves shooting specific targets on a printed sheet with one shot per target, starting from the lowest point value to the highest. The video showcases the setup using a Bergara Precision Rimfire rifle and a Discovery Optics LHD 8-32 scope, including the zeroing process and the execution of the challenge, highlighting the impact of ammunition flyers on performance.

This video features an episode of the History Channel's 'Ultimate Soldier Challenge' from 2011, showcasing Tim Kennedy and other elite soldiers competing in various tactical challenges. The primary focus is on a marksmanship drill involving shooting orange targets while avoiding white 'hostage' targets, highlighting the importance of accuracy under pressure. The Green Berets team, featuring Tim Kennedy, ultimately wins this challenge with a time of 27 seconds, demonstrating their marksmanship capabilities.

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 video details a fun, competitive shooting game focused on accuracy with handguns at increasing distances. Participants play a game similar to 'Horse' or 'Pig' with basketball, but with firearms. The core mechanic involves shooting steel targets, with the distance incrementally increasing. The penalty for missing two shots is a head shave, adding a humorous consequence to the competition. The video highlights the enjoyment of hitting steel and showcases the HK VP9 handgun.

This video simulates the 1980s FBI Revolver Qualification Course (RQC), highlighting the evolution of handgun training with techniques like the Weaver stance and rollover prone position. Instructor Chris Baker demonstrates the course using a Smith and Wesson Model 64, emphasizing the challenges of reloading with loose rounds versus modern speed loaders and the impact of the 1986 Miami Shootout on FBI firearms doctrine. The RQC involved shooting from various distances, including 60 yards, and incorporated barricade and overhead shooting.

This video challenges the common internet belief that AK-47s are ineffective beyond 300 yards. A Chinese Spiker AK was tested at 505 yards with 10 rounds in 60 seconds, achieving a 70% hit ratio (7 out of 10 hits). While not sub-MOA, the performance demonstrates the rifle's capability for suppressive fire at extended distances, especially when accounting for windage.
