Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'cold start' drill in USPSA training?

The 'cold start' drill involves performing shooting exercises, like the Bill Drill at various distances, without any prior warm-up or dry fire to establish a baseline performance level under initial pressure.

How does dot occlusion training improve shooting?

Dot occlusion training, by covering the red dot sight, forces shooters to focus intently on the target and use both eyes, enhancing target acquisition speed and transition accuracy, and preventing reliance on just the dot.

What are the key components of Brandon's Glock 17 Gen 5 USPSA setup?

Brandon's Glock 17 Gen 5 features a Trijicon SRO, JagerWerks modifications, a Forward Controls Design optic plate, a Vickers Mag Release, and a custom stipple job by Gun Grip Customs, optimized for competition.

What is the importance of 'calling your shots' in competitive shooting?

'Calling your shots' allows a shooter to instantly diagnose performance errors, such as trigger press or sight alignment issues, the moment a shot breaks, enabling immediate feedback and correction during training and matches.
