Ghouse and host Brent Wheat explore the psychology behind denial, the importance of adhering to firearm safety rules, and common scenarios leading to NDs, such as improper trigger finger placement, sympathetic squeeze, loss of balance, and startle responses. The discussion highlights the need for constant vigilance and deliberate actions, especially during reholstering, and stresses that even experienced shooters can have NDs.

This guide details proper trigger finger placement (TFP) for handguns, emphasizing biomechanics and recoil management. Instruction from DJ Shipley of GBRS Group highlights how incorrect finger placement can lead to off-center shots. Key takeaways include aligning the bore axis with the forearm and centering the trigger finger's knuckle joint on the frame for consistent accuracy.

Joe Dawson of Bruiser Industries provides expert instruction on precision rifle setup, emphasizing critical elements like length of pull, trigger finger placement, and scope mounting. He details how to achieve proper eye relief, set up bubble levels for accurate cant correction, and adjust ocular focus and parallax for optimal clarity. The guide also covers accessory integration such as bipods and sling attachments, stressing the importance of a repeatable shooting platform.

This video by John the Firearms Instructor emphasizes using the tip of the trigger finger for increased proficiency. He differentiates between a 'pull' (jerking) and a 'press' (slow engagement), explaining how the latter improves accuracy by minimizing unwanted weapon movement. The instructor recommends practicing slow trigger engagement, even through dry fire, to master this technique and achieve tighter groups.

This video, from Navy SEAL instructor Chris Sajnog, addresses common misconceptions about trigger finger placement during firearm manipulation. While the title specifies trigger finger placement, the description also points to a "proper pistol grip." The video aims to provide instructional content for viewers seeking to improve their shooting fundamentals, drawing on Navy SEAL training methodologies. It encourages viewers to explore additional resources via a Linktree for more training, books, and free content, emphasizing a "warrior lifestyle" and mindset.

This video provides an in-depth guide to mastering trigger control and finger placement for improved handgun accuracy. Instructor John emphasizes using the pad of the index finger for consistent pressure, maintaining a relaxed grip to minimize movement, and aligning the finger with the center of the trigger for a straight pull. The importance of dry firing for developing muscle memory and enhancing shooting skills is also highlighted, offering practical techniques for shooters of all levels seeking to enhance their precision.

This video debunks common firearms industry cliches, myths, and half-truths. Instructors Dave and another expert analyze sayings like 'slow is smooth, smooth is fast,' 'crystal clear front sight,' and 'competition shooting will get you killed.' They emphasize context, practical application, and the importance of understanding the 'why' behind training principles to avoid developing bad habits.

This video provides expert instruction on one-handed pistol shooting, emphasizing the critical role of trigger control and finger placement when structural support is halved. The instructor highlights how deficiencies in these areas are masked in two-handed shooting but become pronounced when shooting one-handed. Key techniques include aligning the body's structure with the pistol's centerline and finding a natural hand angle for presentation.
