Group Shooting is lame

This video addresses how to assess a handgun's mechanical accuracy for practical shooting. The instructor emphasizes that most modern firearms are more accurate than the shooter. He outlines a practical zeroing process starting at 10 yards for windage and then moving to 25 yards for elevation, suggesting acceptable group sizes for practical shooting scenarios. The focus is on reliability and the shooter's ability to consistently hit their intended target.

This video tests the accuracy of three firearms when shooting without traditional aiming methods. The Jeffforce Arms Jawbone and Girsan Witness Match X 2011 showed moderate success, while the North American Arms Recluse proved challenging. The content highlights the difficulty of hitting targets without proper sight alignment and aiming, especially with smaller firearms.

This video emphasizes the critical value of a 'known quantity' accurate rifle setup for effective shooter assessment. By using a consistently performing rifle, shooters can reliably determine if their performance is due to their own skill or equipment issues. The speaker shares a personal anecdote about contaminated ammunition affecting group consistency, highlighting the importance of understanding all variables in a shooting system.

This video demonstrates the significant impact of primer choice on reloading results. By switching from Remington Gold primers to Federal 210 primers, the presenter observed a notable increase in average velocity and a decrease in standard deviation, even with identical other load components. The test highlights how primer selection can affect accuracy and point of impact.

This video critically examines the FBI's ballistic testing standards, highlighting areas for improvement. The presenter, Boondock, suggests that while the FBI sets a high bar, certain aspects like clothing simulation and steel barrier material consistency could be more realistic. The discussion also touches upon the nuances of over/under penetration, fragmentation versus expansion, and the importance of testing rounds based on their intended application and range, drawing parallels with military testing methodologies.

This guide details a technique for testing how barrel fouling affects rifle accuracy, based on an expert-led 100-round test. It demonstrates that for some rifles, accuracy can improve as the barrel breaks in and accumulates fouling, contrary to common assumptions. The test uses a Thompson/Center Encore Pro Hunter in .308 Winchester with Hornady ammunition and a Leupold scope, observing group sizes and point of impact shifts over 100 rounds without cleaning.

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.
