Doing all the wrong things successfully

This guide outlines advanced shooting techniques for improving speed and accuracy, drawing from the expertise of Joel Park, a professional firearms instructor. It details predictive shooting for diagnosing grip and recoil, and reactive shooting for precise engagement. The training emphasizes structured drills and understanding equipment influence for competitive and duty readiness.

This guide, based on expert instruction from Ben Stoeger, focuses on advanced rifle shooting techniques. It details how to improve recoil control and shot consistency by emphasizing proper body structure, forward weight, and avoiding common compensations like pushing with the shoulder. The instruction highlights the importance of understanding visual perception versus actual gun movement and the 'dot press' for effective shot calling and error correction.

This guide synthesizes Joel Park's insights on achieving disciplined shooting through precise self-coaching. Park, a Grand Master in USPSA, emphasizes actionable internal dialogue and mental programming to enhance accuracy and control under pressure. The techniques focus on identifying personal weaknesses and developing tailored cues to improve performance in competitive shooting scenarios.

This guide, drawing from the expertise of Joel Park, a professional firearms instructor, emphasizes prioritizing grip and visual focus over intricate trigger control for effective rapid-fire shooting. It highlights that a solid grip can mitigate recoil and compensate for trigger technique imperfections, allowing students to manage their mental bandwidth more effectively during training. The advice is geared towards intermediate shooters looking to improve speed and accuracy in dynamic shooting scenarios.

Joel Park, an expert competitive shooter, explains why compensating for shooting errors by aiming differently is a detrimental practice. He emphasizes addressing the root cause of misses, such as trigger control issues, rather than applying 'band-aid' solutions. The video demonstrates techniques for improving sight recovery during drills like the one-shot return, highlighting the importance of minimizing input and focusing on finesse over force for consistent accuracy, especially as distances increase.

This guide, presented by a professional firearms instructor from Farewell Firearms Training, outlines a diagnostic flowchart for identifying the cause of missed shots, particularly on a 'cold start' in competitive shooting. It emphasizes that a miss or low score on an easy target indicates a fundamental process breakdown. The process involves checking sight picture acquisition, mechanical issues, and external factors before concluding the failure is internal.

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.
