Instagram vs real life speed

This video details the El Presidente drill, a timed shooting exercise focused on engaging multiple targets twice, performing a magazine change, and then engaging them twice again. Instructor Pat Mac emphasizes starting at a manageable pace (around 10 seconds) and gradually building speed, focusing on fundamentals like grip and muzzle control to improve accuracy. He also discusses common malfunctions like stovepipes and the importance of consistent practice.

This discussion from the Practical Pistol Show addresses the common challenge of balancing speed and accuracy in competitive shooting. The hosts emphasize that while slowing down might seem like a solution for accuracy issues, it's not a long-term fix for improvement. Instead, they advocate for pushing speed in practice to identify limits and then developing the discipline to execute at a controlled, accurate match pace. The conversation also touches on combating performance regression in matches, the importance of grip strength, and finding motivation.

This video explains how to balance pushing your limits in firearms training with the need to assess and correct mistakes. Instructor Joel Park advises training at a pace that is slightly uncomfortable, allowing you to identify the cause of errors. If you can articulate what went wrong, you're likely in the right training zone. If the task is too difficult or results are unpredictable, it's time to dial back the pace or complexity.

This video from the Practical Pistol Show features Ben Stoeger and guests discussing a training drill called 'Doubles.' The drill focuses on shooting pairs of shots at a specific pace, aiming to improve speed and recoil control without consciously influencing the gun. It emphasizes learning to shoot faster than conscious sight acquisition by focusing on the target and observing sight movement peripherally, ultimately teaching fundamental marksmanship through a different approach.

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.
