How Flat Does Your Gun Really Need to Shoot?

This workshop focuses on common handgun accuracy issues, emphasizing fundamental techniques. Instructor John G. Johnson explains that most misses stem from a missing element in the shooter's system, such as poor trigger press, grip, stance, or sight alignment/picture. He details how to achieve a solid grip, an athletic stance, and a proper trigger press, highlighting the importance of front sight focus and a level pistol for consistent accuracy.

This guide, presented by firearms instructor John G. Johnson, addresses the common issue of shooting low and left. It outlines five key techniques to improve accuracy: establishing a proper, high, and firm grip with a 60/40 pressure distribution; executing a deliberate trigger press with the pad of the finger; stopping recoil anticipation through drills; maintaining sharp front sight focus; and completing a proper follow-through. Adhering to these fundamentals is crucial for consistent shot placement.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to low round count firearms training drills designed to improve fundamental shooting skills. Instructor Alyssa Seymour emphasizes that every trigger pull should have a purpose and advocates for data collection through mindful practice. Drills include a one-live-one-dry exercise, controlled double taps, progressive shot count drills, transition exercises, and moving drills, all aimed at building consistency and performance on demand with minimal ammunition expenditure.

John the Firearms Instructor provides ten actionable grip hacks to significantly improve shooting accuracy. Key techniques include proper grip pressure distribution, maximizing hand placement on the firearm, driving the gun with chest muscles, and maintaining a neutral wrist. The instruction emphasizes consistency in grip and aiming to build confidence and achieve predictable shot placement.

This video by Ben Stoeger focuses on proper firearm grip technique, emphasizing the importance of establishing a solid connection with the gun rather than excessive force. He explains how to position both the dominant and support hands, detailing the optimal pressure to maintain control without hindering movement. Stoeger advises against over-gripping, suggesting a 'loose as you can' approach with the dominant hand while ensuring a firm connection with the support hand to create a unified shooting platform.

This video by John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, outlines five critical accuracy killers for shooters: inconsistent trigger press, unstable grip, lack of follow-through, poor sight discipline, and not having a shot process. By focusing on these fundamentals through techniques like dry firing and establishing a repeatable routine, shooters can significantly improve their accuracy and consistency.

Lucas Botkin, founder of T.Rex Arms, shares his expert insights on optimizing carbine builds based on extensive round counts. He details his philosophy on barrel length versus optic choice, preferring red dots for shorter barrels and magnification for longer ones. Botkin also discusses preferences for muzzle devices, foregrips, lights, lasers, and triggers, emphasizing reliability and simplicity for high-volume use.

This video details a critical incident during a firearms class where a custom-built pistol, featuring numerous aftermarket parts, experienced unintended discharges. The instructors meticulously troubleshoot the issue, identifying tolerance stacking and specific magazine fit as the likely culprits. They emphasize the importance of testing aftermarket components and the potential pitfalls of combining non-OEM parts.

This video discusses the practical considerations of Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs) with firearms instructor Nick Young. Key takeaways include the benefits of SBRs for suppressor use, the legal complexities involving ATF travel paperwork, and the potential reliability issues and increased violence in shorter-barreled platforms. The discussion also touches on the importance of proper buffer systems and the tendency for 'Franken-guns' to fail in training.

Hwansik Kim explains his 'No Friction Grip' technique, developed to maintain control in adverse conditions like sweaty hands or rain. The method emphasizes specific pressure points, particularly using the support hand's index finger on the trigger guard and the top knuckles of the support hand on the firing hand. This technique aims to minimize reliance on grip enhancers and provide consistent control through recoil by creating a stable platform without excessive friction.
