Indoor Shooting Drills you should try: Strong Hand Weak Hand #shorts #drill #military #training

The Trifecta Drill is a challenging marksmanship exercise designed to test accuracy and proficiency under pressure. It requires three clean hits on each of three targets at varying distances (10, 15, 20 yards), with each target engaged under a different condition: two hands, strong hand only, and support hand only. The drill emphasizes controlled breathing, visualization, and progressive speed increases, while also highlighting the importance of training weaknesses, particularly with support-hand shooting and red dot sight acquisition.

This video discusses the importance of training with both the strong and support hands. While strong-hand-only shooting is tactically necessary for scenarios like vehicle extractions or providing cover, the instructor emphasizes training the support side not for tactical necessity but for cognitive benefits. Working the non-dominant side stimulates the creative and analytical lobes of the brain, enhancing overall cognitive function.

This drill, 'Driving the Gun,' emphasizes utilizing the firearm's recoil impulse to efficiently transition between multiple targets. The instructor, with apparent expertise in tactical firearms instruction, details how to leverage recoil to move the sight picture from one target to the next, thereby reducing split times. The drill encourages varying target engagement sequences to better simulate real-world threats, moving beyond predictable patterns like simple left-to-right engagement.

The Blaze X shooting drill, as demonstrated by Pat Mac, is a dynamic course of fire designed to improve shooting proficiency from multiple positions and with different hand configurations. It requires starting and finishing in the center, engaging targets with two hands from the middle, and using only the strong hand when positioned to the left or right. The drill emphasizes returning to the center between each firing position and encourages efficient movement, with the hint in the name suggesting cutting corners to maintain momentum.

This video demonstrates three essential firearm training drills: the Ball and Dummy drill to identify and correct flinching, the White Paper drill to build trust in sight alignment and trigger control without a defined target, and one-handed shooting drills to prepare for scenarios where a support hand may be injured or unavailable. The instructor emphasizes controlled trigger presses, proper grip, and consistent sight alignment across all drills.

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.

Instruction from Karl Erickson of Tactical Rifleman demonstrates a critical close-quarters combat technique: using a tactical fixed blade knife to create space when an opponent attempts to grab a pistol. The video highlights the risks of close-range pistol draws and advocates for a knife transition to safely disengage and re-establish a firing platform. This technique emphasizes anatomical targets for creating distance rather than immediate lethal force.

This guide details a Navy SEAL's CQC room clearing technique, emphasizing 'economy of motion' and precise footwork. It highlights the critical 'long step' maneuver for maintaining balance and readiness when entering a corner-fed room, contrasting it with the dangerous 'short step.' The instruction, delivered by a subject matter expert, focuses on life-saving fundamentals for tactical proficiency.

This guide details an emergency ammo resupply technique using a standard USGI 6-Pocket Bandolier, as demonstrated by Karl Erickson from Tactical Rifleman. It explains how to utilize the bandolier's expandable pockets, designed for 5.56mm magazines, to rapidly pack ammunition for field resupply. The technique emphasizes efficient loading and compact storage for integration into tactical kits.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gelatin test comparing 9mm and .45 ACP defensive ammunition. Instruction comes from Pete, a retired USSF member, who details the performance of Barnes TAC-XPD 9mm and Cor-Bon Pow'R Ball .45 ACP. The comparison focuses on penetration depth, wound cavitation, and feeding reliability, particularly for 1911 platforms.
