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.

This video demonstrates how to use a smartphone's video recording capabilities, particularly slow-motion, to analyze and improve shooting techniques. Instructors Paul and Jared showcase how to film drills like pistol draws, recoil management during strings of fire, target transitions, and reloads. By reviewing the footage frame-by-frame, shooters can identify subtle inefficiencies in their movements, such as body lean during the draw, grip issues, muzzle dip, and wasted time during transitions, leading to targeted practice and skill enhancement.

This presentation by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons explores the utility of high-speed photography for understanding firearm mechanics, analyzing malfunctions, and visualizing ballistic phenomena. McCollum demonstrates how slow-motion footage reveals intricate details of actions like long recoil systems, gas operation, and blow-forward mechanisms. The video also showcases the analysis of firearm malfunctions, the origin of case marks, and the behavior of powder residue and explosive ammunition. Technical specifications of the high-speed camera are discussed, highlighting its capabilities and limitations regarding frame rate, resolution, and lighting.
