Alyssa Seymour, with 7 years of experience and referencing high-level instructors, provides a practical guide to improving shooting accuracy through self-diagnosis. The video emphasizes mastering grip, sight alignment, and trigger press, and using target analysis and modern training tools like shot timers and dry-fire systems to identify and correct mistakes. Seymour stresses the importance of setting specific goals for each range session and recording oneself to catch subtle technical flaws, ultimately leading to more efficient and effective practice.

This video introduces the Handgun Training System, a structured program designed to help shooters move beyond 'winging it' at the range. It emphasizes the need for a plan, providing weekly focus lessons, downloadable targets, and personalized feedback from instructor John Johnson. The system aims to improve accuracy and build skills through consistent, focused practice with limited ammunition per drill.

This video emphasizes that 'advanced shooting' is the perfect execution of fundamentals under stress, not fancy techniques. Instructors encourage pushing comfort zones to identify and exploit weaknesses, advocating for self-diagnosis of errors like 'sucking into the dot' or grip pressure changes. The core message is that techniques must be validated at speed and distance, and while individual application may vary, underlying principles remain constant.

This video offers practical advice for improving pistol shooting skills, emphasizing training with intent, consistent dry fire practice, and participating in competitions to build confidence and skill under pressure. The instructor highlights the importance of self-diagnosis and filming training sessions to identify and correct mistakes, advocating for focused practice on one or two skills per range session to maximize effectiveness.

This video explains and demonstrates the Ball and Dummy drill, a valuable technique for self-diagnosing trigger press issues in pistol shooting. The drill involves introducing a dummy round randomly into the magazine. When this round is chambered, the absence of recoil and slide movement highlights any involuntary muzzle movement that occurs during the trigger pull. This allows shooters to identify and correct flaws in their technique, leading to improved accuracy. The video also briefly mentions a Striker Control Device from Langdon Tactical on a Glock G19, showing the striker plate movement.

John Dufresne of Kinetic Consulting emphasizes that effective firearms instruction requires more than just proficiency; it demands the ability to clearly convey complex information and understand student psychology. He stresses the importance of continuous learning, self-reflection on mistakes, and adapting teaching methods to individual needs. Dufresne advocates for empowering students to self-diagnose and improve, ultimately aiming to make them less reliant on the instructor.

This video explains the practice of dry fire, which involves performing all fundamental shooting actions up to and including pressing the trigger without live ammunition. It emphasizes the benefits of flawless execution of marksmanship principles, self-diagnosis of errors, and neural patterning. The guide provides a step-by-step process for safe and effective dry fire practice, highlighting the importance of a distraction-free environment, firearm unloading, and precise target selection for self-assessment.

This video emphasizes a 'Dirty Creek Mindset' focused on risk management and variable reduction in firearms training. The instructor, drawing from personal experience, aims to equip shooters with self-diagnostic and problem-solving skills to improve independently. The core philosophy is to identify and mitigate variables in all aspects of shooting, from planning to marksmanship, allowing for better focus on critical areas.

This guide details the 22422 Carbine Speed Drill, a high-level training exercise led by Travis Haley. It emphasizes building transition speed and rhythm through a specific 12-round sequence. The drill focuses on advanced techniques like utilizing hip and knee mechanics for gun drive, practicing self-diagnosis for trigger control, and incorporating off-line movements and shooting on the move. Instruction is provided for training in full mission profile gear to adapt to biomechanical changes.

This episode of Guns & Gear Season 4 delves into self-diagnosing trigger pull issues, suggesting adjustments to the trigger rather than the sights for shots landing low and left. The show features in-studio interviews, field demonstrations, and expert shooting tips, offering viewers a comprehensive look at new firearms and gear. Airing on multiple networks including NBC Sports Network and Pursuit Channel, Guns & Gear aims to bring the gun shop experience directly to the viewer.

This training drill, demonstrated by Travis Haley of Haley Strategic Partners, focuses on improving speed and accuracy at close ranges (3-7 yards). The 'Shift Gears Drill' involves engaging targets of varying sizes, forcing shooters to adjust their pace and sight picture. It also incorporates speed reloads to diagnose grip consistency and emphasizes self-analysis of fundamental shooting errors.
