Videos tagged with Shooting Pace

This video details the El Presidente drill, a timed shooting exercise focused on engaging multiple targets twice, performing a magazine change, and then engaging them twice again. Instructor Pat Mac emphasizes starting at a manageable pace (around 10 seconds) and gradually building speed, focusing on fundamentals like grip and muzzle control to improve accuracy. He also discusses common malfunctions like stovepipes and the importance of consistent practice.

This video explains how to balance pushing your limits in firearms training with the need to assess and correct mistakes. Instructor Joel Park advises training at a pace that is slightly uncomfortable, allowing you to identify the cause of errors. If you can articulate what went wrong, you're likely in the right training zone. If the task is too difficult or results are unpredictable, it's time to dial back the pace or complexity.

This video breaks down shooting speed into three conceptual levels: Competent Pace (following procedure with repeatability), Match Pace (shooting aggressively for scoring, accepting occasional C-zones), and Training Pace (pushing beyond comfort to improve, even if accuracy is temporarily compromised). The instructor emphasizes that 'Instagram speed' often represents uncontrolled shooting, not effective training.

This video from the Practical Pistol Show features Ben Stoeger and guests discussing a training drill called 'Doubles.' The drill focuses on shooting pairs of shots at a specific pace, aiming to improve speed and recoil control without consciously influencing the gun. It emphasizes learning to shoot faster than conscious sight acquisition by focusing on the target and observing sight movement peripherally, ultimately teaching fundamental marksmanship through a different approach.
