FieldCraft On Trigger Control

This video analyzes common mistakes during a dynamic pistol drill at an indoor range, featuring an EDC Glock 19. The instructor, demonstrating experienced authority, highlights issues like a 'slow start,' forgetting to reload, and impatience with red dot sight acquisition. The content provides actionable insights for improving performance in timed shooting scenarios.

This video provides instruction on fundamental shooting techniques, focusing on proper trigger control and stance. The instructor emphasizes a slow, deliberate trigger press to the 'wall' and then a smooth release, while also advising against anticipating recoil. Stance adjustments, including leaning forward and bending knees, are demonstrated to improve stability and manage recoil effectively. The importance of efficient magazine changes is also highlighted.

This video provides a detailed approach to diagnosing and correcting accuracy issues during rapid fire shooting, specifically focusing on the common problem of the second shot in a double-tap going low. Instructor Joel Park outlines drills to help shooters identify subconscious over-input, such as pushing into the gun during recoil, and emphasizes the importance of understanding sight tracking and proper trigger control at speed. The advice is geared towards improving practical shooting accuracy and understanding firearm mechanics.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of consistent trigger control for accurate shooting, especially for beginners. It introduces dry-fire exercises as a fundamental technique to develop proper trigger pull, sight alignment, and recoil management without live ammunition. The instructor demonstrates how to identify and correct trigger anticipation by focusing on the 'wall' of the trigger pull and maintaining sight picture through the break.

Joel Park, a firearms instructor, emphasizes the importance of analyzing shooting trends over individual shot performance. By examining aggregate target results and correlating them with physical sensations, shooters can identify specific issues like trigger control or sight alignment problems. This data-driven approach provides clear direction for focused training to achieve long-term improvement.

This video emphasizes the critical distinction between performance-based and outcome-based training, particularly in shooting drills. The instructor, drawing from sports psychology principles, advocates for focusing on the process of executing shots accurately (performance) rather than solely on achieving a specific result like a fast time (outcome). By prioritizing correct technique and accuracy, students can overcome 'over-trying' and ultimately improve their speed and overall effectiveness. The book 'With Winning in Mind' by Lanny Bassham serves as a primary reference for these concepts, highlighting how mental management and focusing on the process lead to better results in shooting and life.

This safety brief from The FieldCraft Survival Channel highlights the dangers of fireworks, particularly during celebrations. It emphasizes maintaining safe distances, proper ignition techniques, and immediate evacuation in case of malfunctions. The video serves as a cautionary tale about the potential for catastrophic chain reactions with pyrotechnics, underscoring the importance of preparedness and smart decision-making in potentially hazardous situations.

This video showcases a tactical law enforcement intervention by the Georgia State Patrol in Atlanta, highlighting their decisive action amidst city crowds and traffic. The footage demonstrates a high-intensity apprehension technique used by a GSP officer to intercept a suspect. The content emphasizes situational awareness and the importance of avoiding urban congestion for safety.

This video demonstrates a critical wound packing technique for severe bleeding. An instructor from Fieldcraft Survival shows how to rapidly pack gauze into a simulated wound cavity, emphasizing the importance of direct pressure to control life-threatening hemorrhage. The training utilizes a specialized wound packing trainer with simulated arterial bleeding.

This guide details essential tactical pistol techniques, including slide-lock reloads and vehicle exit strategies, as demonstrated by Mike Glover. It emphasizes maintaining muzzle discipline, efficient magazine changes, and immediate lateral movement to evade threats. The instruction highlights the importance of using available cover and proper body mechanics for survival in dynamic situations.
