Is This 100 Year Old Combat Pistol Still Good?

This video emphasizes the critical distinction between performance-based and outcome-based training, particularly in shooting drills. The instructor, drawing from sports psychology principles, advocates for focusing on the process of executing shots accurately (performance) rather than solely on achieving a specific result like a fast time (outcome). By prioritizing correct technique and accuracy, students can overcome 'over-trying' and ultimately improve their speed and overall effectiveness. The book 'With Winning in Mind' by Lanny Bassham serves as a primary reference for these concepts, highlighting how mental management and focusing on the process lead to better results in shooting and life.

This video explains the concept of 'calling your shot' in shooting, which is the ability to determine if a shot was good or not before it even impacts the target. It emphasizes observing sight position as the hammer falls and feeling the shot during the squeeze. The instructor uses this technique to analyze group consistency and confirm sight adjustments.

This video addresses common issues in competition shooting, specifically inconsistent target transitions and follow-up shots. The instructor emphasizes associating cause with effect, urging shooters to analyze their sight movement, hand tension, and eye lead to diagnose problems like overshooting or 'bouncing' past the target. The core advice is to consciously get eyes to the next target before the gun and to avoid excessive muscle tension, particularly in the firing hand, during rapid fire.

This video demonstrates a technique for improving trigger control to achieve tighter shot groups. The instructor emphasizes using the tip of the finger for a precise trigger press and maintaining focus on the sight system throughout the shot. Proper trigger manipulation is shown to enhance pistol control and lead to more accurate shooting.

This instructional video demonstrates fundamental pistol shooting techniques, focusing on proper sight alignment and trigger control for beginners. Instructor Mike guides a new shooter through achieving a clear front sight picture, a proper two-hand grip, and a slow, steady trigger press. The emphasis is on making adjustments and understanding the visual cues for accurate shooting, with a reminder to breathe normally.

This video explores the effectiveness of using a treadmill for dry-fire training to improve shooting on the move. Instructor Lena Miculek demonstrates how 20 minutes of consistent motion on a treadmill can increase awareness of footwork, sight bounce, and trigger timing, leading to measurable improvements in accuracy and speed on a subsequent shooting drill. The technique emphasizes developing a feel for body mechanics during movement.
