Ben Stoeger emphasizes precision over raw speed in target transitions. He advises focusing on a small spot on the target and letting the gun naturally follow your gaze, akin to using a mouse pointer. This technique, when mastered, allows for faster and more accurate transitions than 'driving' the gun or using physical cues like pointing thumbs. He suggests practicing for precision first, then gradually increasing speed while maintaining relaxation and control.

This entry synthesizes Ben Stoeger's insights on standard shooting tests, emphasizing their role as tools for individual skill development rather than mere reward systems. Stoeger, an expert instructor, details the components of these tests, including position changes and complex engagement orders, explaining their purpose in preparing shooters for practical scenarios. He highlights performance expectations and differentiates competition shooting from real-world applications, stressing safety and effective practice as key for class participation.

This video details a comprehensive pistol skills test developed by Ben Stoeger, designed to benchmark shooter proficiency. It incorporates elements like drawing from a holster, shooting from various positions (standing, kneeling), strong and weak-hand-only shooting, movement, and reloads, all under strict par times. The test uses three USPSA targets and requires a range capable of 25-yard shooting. Stoeger emphasizes that the par times are set with a buffer, making the test achievable with dedicated training.

This guide details Ben Stoeger's advanced technique for mastering the double-action (DA) draw, emphasizing continuous trigger pressure and predictive pulling. Stoeger, a world champion shooter, advises against 'staging' the trigger, advocating instead for a smooth, uninterrupted pull that adapts its 'aggression' to target distance. The instruction is pragmatic and direct, suitable for intermediate to advanced shooters looking to improve draw and first-shot accuracy.

This guide synthesizes Ben Stoeger's expert advice on adopting red dot sights for pistol training. Stoeger, a professional competition shooter and firearms instructor, emphasizes that red dots offer immediate feedback, accelerating learning for accuracy and recoil management. He advocates for their use, even suggesting configurations that omit iron sights, to enhance training effectiveness.

This entry details techniques for improving stage times in practical shooting, as explained by elite instructors Ben Stoeger, Joel Park, and Hwansik Kim of PSTG. Key concepts include blending tasks, optimizing transitions between shooting positions, and enhancing movement efficiency. The guide also touches on foundational skills like one-handed shooting and the importance of shooting discipline based on target risk.

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.
