This video demonstrates the Tier One Concealed '3 Bill Drill,' a shooting exercise that combines three distances (15, 10, and 7 yards) into a single drill. The objective is to achieve all shots within the 'A' zone (center mass) at each distance, emphasizing both speed and accuracy. The instructor aims to push their speed while maintaining precision, showcasing a practical training method for improving handgun proficiency.

This video demonstrates a dynamic shooting drill focused on developing a stable, aggressive stance and effective movement. The instructor emphasizes maintaining a wide base with bent knees, separating upper body shooting actions from lower body locomotion, and returning to a ready stance after movement. The drill aims to ingrain positive habits for shooting while moving, highlighting that even subtle body shifts can be beneficial.

This video addresses a common issue in competitive shooting: dropping points due to rushed target transitions. The instructor emphasizes that the problem often stems from not visually confirming shots and moving the gun too quickly. The core technique involves dry-firing with a deliberate pause on each target, focusing on the sight's position and ensuring both shots are completed before transitioning. This method aims to build better habits without sacrificing speed in live fire.

This guide, from an expert competitive shooter, details how to build speed in USPSA without sacrificing accuracy. It covers common time-wasting habits during draws, movement, and target transitions, emphasizing the importance of shooting while moving and off-balance. The strategy advocates for an integrated approach to dry fire and live fire training, focusing on efficient sight acquisition and trigger press to maximize speed while maintaining high accuracy.

This guide, based on insights from firearms instructor Joel Park, emphasizes a process-focused approach to shooting practice over an outcome-focused one. Park, an expert with extensive experience, details how fixating on split times or scores can hinder progress. He advocates for analyzing the mechanics of each shot, grip, sight alignment, and recoil management to achieve true skill development. This method is crucial for improving performance in drills like the Bill Drill and Doubles Drill, ultimately leading to more consistent and effective shooting.

This video features Ben Stoeger, a recognized expert in competitive shooting, discussing fundamental handgun techniques. He emphasizes the importance of grip stability and proper sight picture over potentially destabilizing cues like pointing thumbs. Stoeger advises focusing on a precise visual point on the target and allowing the body to naturally align with it, a method he learned from figures like Matt Pranka. The discussion also touches on the effectiveness of different training methods and the common pitfalls in firearms instruction found online.

This video demonstrates a critical malfunction where the magazine drops during recoil, a common issue in competitive shooting. Ben Stoeger, a professional competitive shooter, highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing such failures. The guide provides steps to troubleshoot this specific problem, emphasizing safety and proper firearm handling.

This video demonstrates a critical safety incident: an uncommanded discharge of a Sig Sauer P320 during the re-holstering process. Expert analysis from Ben Stoeger highlights the visual evidence of the discharge originating from the holster, emphasizing the importance of constant vigilance and proper technique even when the firearm is supposedly "safe" in its holster. The incident underscores the need for thorough firearm inspection and immediate post-incident assessment.

Ben Stoeger, a professional shooting instructor, explains common misconceptions about red dot sights. He emphasizes that true proficiency comes from focusing on the target, not the dot itself. The guide details training methods, like occluding the optic, to develop this crucial skill, comparing it to the lifelong refinement needed for trigger control.

This comprehensive dry fire program, led by World Champion shooter Ben Stoeger, focuses on refining fundamental handgun skills. It includes a structured warm-up, detailed drills for draw stroke mechanics, efficient reloads (including strong and weak hand only), and positional shooting from kneeling. The program emphasizes precision and control, progressing to dynamic movements and transitions essential for competitive shooting.
