Not actually a silly question

This drill, presented by professional shooter Ben Stoeger, focuses on fundamental shooting skills by isolating grip and trigger control. It emphasizes predictive shooting at close distances and analyzing target analysis to identify and correct mechanical errors. The drill is scalable to different distances, teaching shooters to transition from aggressive firing to more precise sight-focused shooting as range increases.

This video emphasizes the critical interplay between grip, sights, and trigger control for accurate shooting. It introduces a drill focused on placing 20 rounds within a 1-inch square at 3 yards, highlighting the importance of diagnosing shot errors by attributing them to specific fundamental mistakes. The instructor encourages shooters to analyze whether a miss was due to grip issues (e.g., thumb pressure, hand position), sight alignment/picture errors (e.g., not using the top of the sight), or trigger manipulation faults (e.g., slapping the trigger).

This video explains the AR-15's magazine release system, highlighting its intuitive design for rapid, one-handed magazine changes. It details the three core components: the magazine catch, spring, and button, and contrasts it with other platforms like the AK-47 and MP5. The presenter argues the AR-15's system, designed by Eugene Stoner, remains superior due to its simplicity and efficiency, though acknowledges potential drawbacks of the milspec button in certain conditions.

John G. Johnson outlines the 'Five Layers of Accuracy' for pistol shooting: Foundation (stance), Control (grip), Visual (sight alignment/focus), Mechanical (trigger control), and Discipline (follow-through). He emphasizes a stable, athletic stance, a high and firm grip initiated by the pinky, front sight focus with a 6 o'clock hold, a smooth trigger press, and maintaining sight picture through the shot and until the firearm is made safe. The instruction aims to build consistent hits and defensive accuracy.

This video, featuring USPSA Grandmaster Mark Smith and instructor Frank Proctor, details advanced techniques for controlling rifle recoil. It emphasizes establishing a consistent connection to the firearm, proper support hand pressure and placement using a 'grip and hang' method, and optimizing stance and body mechanics to manage both lateral and vertical recoil. The instruction focuses on achieving predictable sight return, a consistent recoil pattern, and a durable, repeatable technique for aggressive firing strings.

This video details the 'Florida Ready-to-Carry Package' offered by Firearms Training By John G. Johnson. It combines basic pistol instruction with concealed carry certification, emphasizing practical shooting skills like grip, stance, and trigger control. The course is limited to 10 students per session and is designed to offer more value than purely online or theoretical training.

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.
