NRA Family learns about some new interactive targets from Champion Target

This video from Concrete Cowboy offers five key strategies to significantly improve shooting skills. The instructor emphasizes the importance of pre-planning training sessions, prioritizing paper targets for detailed feedback over steel, and utilizing a shot timer for quantifiable progress. Training with others and incorporating extensive dry-fire practice are also highlighted as crucial for skill development and maintenance.

This video demonstrates an efficient firearm practice methodology focused on maximizing repetitions and learning from each shot. Instructor Joel Park, alongside competitive shooter Lane Greece, emphasizes walking through a course of fire, performing multiple runs before scoring, and analyzing target results for improvement. The approach aims to reduce downtime and increase the actionable takeaways from a training session, making practice more effective.

This video suggests using steel targets or negative paper targets to improve shooting speed. The core idea is that focusing too much on pinpoint accuracy can hinder the ability to shoot quickly. By using targets that provide immediate auditory or visual feedback (like steel ringing or negative space on paper), shooters can become more liberated to increase their pace, implying a focus on dynamic shooting or speed drills.

Adam Matthews demonstrates a practice stage simulating a USPSA drill. The drill involves drawing from a holster, moving to a designated line, engaging multiple paper targets with two shots each, and then running to the end of an alley to engage two steel targets with one shot each. He also provides a subjective assessment of target scoring, estimating hits as 'alphas' and 'charlies'.

The Laser Ammo I-MTTS system enhances dry-fire practice by providing interactive targets that respond to laser hits. It offers various modes like reactive targets, target knockdown, chasing the ball, shoot/no-shoot scenarios, and double-tap drills. The system is compatible with infrared lasers and can be used with scaled firearm replicas, such as the UMAREX Glock 19 BB gun, making dry fire more engaging and effective for improving reaction time and fundamental skills.

This video demonstrates a 'cold start' rifle training drill focusing on accuracy and speed with AR-15 platforms. The instructors emphasize proper sight alignment, trigger control, and follow-through, especially when transitioning between paper and steel targets at varying distances. They also highlight the impact of recoil mitigation systems on shooting soft.

This video from NRA Publications provides an in-depth look at the manufacturing process of Hornady ammunition, from bullet creation to final packaging. It details the steps involved in forming bullets, annealing and shaping cartridge cases, and rigorous quality control testing to ensure product reliability. The expert-level instruction highlights the precision engineering and domestic manufacturing of Hornady products in Grand Island, Nebraska, USA.

This video provides an expert overview of the British L1A1 SLR, a variant of the FN FAL. Mark A. Keefe IV, Editor-in-Chief of American Rifleman, details its design differences from the Belgian FN FAL, its extensive service history in conflicts like the Falklands War, and its eventual replacement. The segment highlights the rifle's robust construction, its adoption strategy by British Ordnance, and its legacy in firearm history.

This video documents a startling bobcat attack on a turkey hunter. The hunter's calls, intended for turkeys, attracted a bobcat which stalked and then pounced. The hunter's reaction caused the bobcat to retreat, highlighting the unpredictable nature of wildlife encounters and the importance of situational awareness.

This video details the revival of Remington Ammunition under Vista Outdoor's ownership, focusing on the Lonoke, Arkansas facility. It highlights the brand's historical significance, the challenges faced during bankruptcy, and the strategic steps taken by Vista Outdoor to restore production, quality, and employee morale. The narrative emphasizes a commitment to American manufacturing and supporting the Second Amendment.
