This video details the Symtac Skills Gauge, a five-round shotgun drill developed by Symtac Consulting. Chris Baker of Lucky Gunner Ammo demonstrates how the drill tests recoil control, mounting speed, target transitions, emergency port reloads, and precision shooting under time pressure. The drill uses two IDPA-style silhouettes and has specific scoring penalties for misses and par times for pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns.
This video showcases the Beretta 80X Cheetah's performance in a Backup Gun (BUG) match, featuring insights from firearms expert Ian McCollum and competitive shooter Matt Haught. The guide focuses on utilizing the 80X in a timed competition setting, highlighting its accuracy, speed, and handling characteristics under pressure. The assessment suggests the 80X is a capable modern carry gun for competitive use.
This guide details the 'Cheek Pistol' technique, pioneered by Rhett Neumayer and demonstrated by Matt Haught and Ian McCollum. It involves using a short firearm with a grip protrusion to create a third point of contact (the cheek weld) for enhanced stability and accuracy at extended ranges (up to 50 yards). The technique requires a specialized grip and a 'reverse push-pull' method for stabilization, allowing for rapid target acquisition. The video highlights the effectiveness of this unorthodox method, while also noting potential reliability issues with specific firearms like the Kel-Tec CP33.
