This video details T.REX ARMS' Brandon's training regimen for an upcoming USPSA match, focusing on practical drills and technique refinement. Key takeaways include the importance of calling shots for immediate feedback, using dot occlusion to improve vision and target transitions, and optimizing movement for efficient position entry. The training emphasizes a tiered speed approach and drills like the 'In and Out' to isolate and improve specific skills under pressure.

Quick Summary

Calling your shots in competition shooting allows immediate diagnosis of errors like poor trigger press or sight alignment the moment the shot breaks. This real-time feedback is crucial for rapid improvement compared to waiting to see the target.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Cold Start Drill' used for in USPSA training?

The 'Cold Start Drill' evaluates baseline performance before warm-up. It involves three Bill Drills at varying distances (40m, 20m, 10m) to assess shooting on the move, target transitions, and recoil control under initial pressure.

How does 'dot occlusion' training improve shooting?

By taping over the red dot optic's lens, shooters are forced to keep both eyes open and focus on the target. This technique prevents staring at the dot, leading to faster target transitions and fewer misses.

What are Brandon's three speeds of shooting for training?

Brandon uses 50-60% speed for warm-ups and confidence, 80-90% for consistent 'match speed,' and 100% to push comfort zones and identify areas needing improvement.

Why is calling your shots important in competition shooting?

Calling your shots allows immediate diagnosis of errors like poor trigger press or sight alignment the moment the shot breaks. This real-time feedback is crucial for rapid improvement compared to waiting to see the target.
