LIVE PODCAST FROM THE RANGE: Range Hacks That Will Save You Time and Money

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, outlines a comprehensive approach to improving shooting accuracy by integrating mental and physical control. He emphasizes slowing down the mind, executing shots smoothly, focusing on one aspect of technique at a time, and trusting the process. Key physical techniques include achieving a consistent grip, proper support hand pressure, a straight rearward trigger press, locking the wrist, and maintaining follow-through. The instruction highlights that accuracy is a system of mind and body working together for repeatable results.

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 emphasizes the synergistic relationship between dry fire and live fire training, particularly in the context of rising ammunition costs. Instructor Ben Stoeger advocates for consistent, focused dry fire practice to build fundamental skills like grip, trigger control, and sight alignment. He stresses that live fire should be viewed as a diagnostic tool to inform and validate dry fire efforts, rather than solely focusing on results. By integrating these methods, shooters can maximize their skill development even with limited ammunition.

Joel Park, a full-time shooting instructor with extensive experience teaching, breaks down the four most common issues he observes in students. These include vision focus fatigue, lack of planning discipline, improperly mixing trigger control with sympathetic movement, and emotional attachment to performance. Park emphasizes pushing past comfort zones, detailed pre-shot programming, isolating fundamental skills, and embracing mistakes as crucial for improvement.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor with over 1000 students annually, provides five essential tips to improve handgun accuracy. Key advice includes practicing dry fire as if it were live fire, focusing on one skill at a time during range sessions, videotaping practice to identify flaws, prioritizing first-shot accuracy, and maintaining a training journal. A bonus tip emphasizes the value of professional training classes.

This video by John G. Johnson introduces the 'Pen Drill,' a simple yet effective training exercise to improve trigger control and firearm accuracy. By using a clickable ballpoint pen, shooters can isolate and practice the mechanics of a smooth, consistent trigger press without the complexities of firearm recoil. The drill emphasizes minimizing unintended movement, which is crucial for accurate shooting.

This guide, based on instruction from Professional Firearms Instructor John G. Johnson, details the 'combat grip' for improved pistol accuracy. It emphasizes proper hand placement, high grip on the tang, and the role of the support hand in recoil management, correcting common errors like the 'teacup' grip.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, outlines five essential firearms for immediate acquisition. The recommendations cover a 9mm pistol, an AR platform rifle, a home defense shotgun, a .22 pistol, and a .22 rifle. This selection provides a balanced approach to personal defense, training, and general utility.

This video outlines four key reasons for obtaining a concealed carry permit (CCW) in Florida. It highlights the benefit of carrying during average police response times, avoiding the mandatory waiting period for firearm purchases, leveraging reciprocity with other states, and the accessibility for non-residents to obtain a Florida CCW.

Firearms instructor John G. Johnson provides a clear, instructional guide on two effective methods for loading pistol magazines: the 'Cross Method' and the 'Pez Dispenser Method'. He acknowledges the common difficulties new shooters face with spring tension and encourages viewers to practice both techniques to find their preferred approach. The video emphasizes practical skills for handling ammunition and magazines.
