This video addresses a listener's struggle with slow target transitions, where splits can take up to 0.5 seconds. The instructor suggests diagnosing issues by first performing dry target transitions without live fire to assess sight movement and vision. The primary culprits identified are over-confirming the sight picture and taking too long to break the shot after transition, rather than slow arm movement.

This video emphasizes visual cues over auditory rhythm for effective target transitions in firearms training. Instructor Joel Park advises focusing on sight alignment and visual confirmation before pressing the trigger, and using sight movement as a cue for the next target. He also outlines a progression for increasing speed and distance in training, stressing the importance of maintaining accuracy.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, outlines 10 common range problems and their solutions. Key takeaways include the importance of having a plan, slowing down shooting pace, mastering trigger press and front sight focus, and consistent dry-fire practice. He emphasizes that accuracy is built on fundamental skills like grip, sights, and trigger control, and that reading targets provides crucial feedback for improvement.

This video demonstrates that even commonly perceived 'difficult' firearms, like short-barreled side-by-side shotguns, can be effective for clay shooting with the right technique. The instructor emphasizes adapting shooting methods to the gun's characteristics, focusing on control, cadence, and understanding the gun's behavior. While not a championship-level gun, it proves that accessible and affordable firearms can still provide enjoyment and learning opportunities in the sport.

This guide outlines strategies for competing in an IDPA match, specifically within the Carry Optics division. It covers stage planning, adherence to division rules like magazine capacity, effective reloading techniques, and equipment checks. The insights are derived from an experienced competitive shooter's performance analysis during a match, emphasizing self-critique and continuous improvement.

This guide details reactive rifle shooting drills as demonstrated by World Champion shooter Ben Stoeger. It covers techniques for improving sight tracking, managing recoil, and understanding the impact of speed and tension on accuracy. Key takeaways emphasize consistent mount pressure, stable posture, and practicing the 'bouncing ball' aiming strategy for better performance in dynamic shooting scenarios.

This video critiques common, uninformed opinions about the Beretta 92 family of pistols, contrasting them with the views of individuals who have genuinely studied the platform. The speaker expresses frustration with shallow reviews that rely on tired references or personal biases rather than objective analysis, highlighting a perceived lack of effort in understanding the firearm's legitimate strengths.

This video details the Modified Accelerator Drill, a valuable training exercise for improving shooting skills across various distances and cadences. The drill emphasizes transitioning from near to far and far to near targets, challenging accuracy, speed, and the ability to adjust shooting pace. It offers strategic adjustments for shooters struggling with specific aspects, like long-range accuracy or close-range speed.

This video demonstrates a training drill focused on establishing and maintaining a specific shooting cadence or rhythm. The instructor emphasizes the importance of controlled trigger pulls and consistent tempo, even when shooting rapidly. The drill aims to improve shooter awareness and control by forcing a deliberate relationship between sight acquisition and trigger manipulation, distinct from typical 'see sights, then pull' methodology.

This video by VES at Tactical Hyve focuses on a vision-led trigger pull drill to accelerate pistol speed. The core principle is to train your vision to confirm sight alignment on target before initiating the trigger pull, both in dry fire and live fire scenarios. By prioritizing visual confirmation and then aggressively moving your eyes to the next target, you can train your trigger finger to follow automatically, improving overall shooting speed without sacrificing accuracy.

This video from Ridgeline Defense, presented by Jimmy B Rodriguez, focuses on advanced shooting techniques and data management for precision rifle engagements. Key takeaways include mastering trigger control for rapid follow-up shots, understanding the importance of natural point of aim for equipment, and utilizing tools like chronographs and Kestrels for ballistic calculations. The instruction emphasizes efficient data management and shot execution in various scenarios, culminating in a challenging 'hoodie test' that assesses overall skill.

This video details a 'Cadence Drill' designed to improve target transitions by forcing a specific shooting rhythm. Instructor Ben Stoeger explains how to use a controlled Build Drill as a baseline, then apply that cadence across multiple targets. The drill emphasizes visual focus and controlled gun movement, highlighting common mistakes like tensing up or sweeping the gun past targets. It serves as a training tool to make shooters more aware of their body mechanics and visual engagement during transitions.
