This guide, based on instruction from USPSA Champion Ben Stoeger, details techniques for improving target transition speed with both handguns and rifles. Key takeaways include eliminating 'over-confirmation' sight pictures, initiating eye movement immediately after the trigger break, and maintaining proper body structure during transitions. Stoeger emphasizes analyzing gun movement and focusing on the target itself for faster acquisition.

This expert-level guide, drawing from a Tenicor video, details a critical grip mistake that hinders recoil control. It emphasizes applying the majority of pressure via the support hand into the buttstock, utilizing a 'grip and hang' technique. This method, popularized by Frank Proctor, involves gripping the rail, relaxing the elbow, and letting arm weight provide linear pressure for efficient recoil management and reduced fatigue.

This video from Achilles Heel Tactical emphasizes a 'less is more' philosophy for rifle shooting, advocating for a minimalist approach to physical force on the gun. Instructor Rick highlights the importance of vision-based recoil management, teaching shooters to rely on their sight picture for natural firearm reset rather than muscle tension. This technique aims to improve accuracy and consistency, especially during rapid-fire drills.

This GBRS Group training video focuses on developing repeatable weapon transitions between a carbine and pistol. The instruction emphasizes a 'master grip for master grip' exchange and simplifying movements for consistency. Static practice is highlighted as the foundation for dynamic application, ensuring muscle memory is built effectively. The expert instruction from GBRS Group provides actionable techniques for improving speed and efficiency in multi-gun scenarios.

This guide details fundamental AR-15 shooting techniques for improved accuracy and control. It emphasizes a stable, forward-weighted stance, upright posture, and proper grip for both dominant and support hands. Key points include ensuring full rifle-to-shoulder contact and critically avoiding rifle cant, which significantly degrades accuracy. Instruction is provided by an expert with signals of deep practical knowledge.
