LIVE PODCAST FROM THE RANGE: The science of the perfect trigger press

This video from Tactical Hive focuses on improving sight tracking and grip consistency for faster, more accurate shooting at an indoor range. Instructor Miles demonstrates drills to help shooters diagnose grip issues by observing how their sights return to the point of aim after each shot. The exercises progress from single shots to multiple shots, emphasizing consistent sight movement and return, with optional advanced drills including drawing from a holster.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, outlines 10 common range problems and their solutions. Key takeaways include the importance of having a plan, slowing down shooting pace, mastering trigger press and front sight focus, and consistent dry-fire practice. He emphasizes that accuracy is built on fundamental skills like grip, sights, and trigger control, and that reading targets provides crucial feedback for improvement.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of consistent trigger control for accurate shooting, especially for beginners. It introduces dry-fire exercises as a fundamental technique to develop proper trigger pull, sight alignment, and recoil management without live ammunition. The instructor demonstrates how to identify and correct trigger anticipation by focusing on the 'wall' of the trigger pull and maintaining sight picture through the break.

This video by John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, addresses a common accuracy issue: trigger finger drift. He explains that 99% of shooters tend to move their trigger finger deeper into the trigger guard with each shot, causing the firearm to move and reduce accuracy. The guide provides techniques to correct this by focusing on using the tip of the finger, pressing straight back, and maintaining a consistent gap on the trigger.

This video explains how to effectively use par times in dry fire training to build speed and efficiency. The instructor demonstrates finding an optimal par time by incrementally reducing the duration for a multi-target engagement sequence. The key is to find a time that creates a sense of urgency without sacrificing accuracy or ingraining bad habits, emphasizing honesty in self-assessment.

This video addresses a common issue in competitive shooting: dropping points due to rushed target transitions. The instructor emphasizes that the problem often stems from not visually confirming shots and moving the gun too quickly. The core technique involves dry-firing with a deliberate pause on each target, focusing on the sight's position and ensuring both shots are completed before transitioning. This method aims to build better habits without sacrificing speed in live fire.

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.
