Only 50 Rounds a Week

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 video details the El Presidente drill, a classic pistol training exercise developed by Jeff Cooper in the 1970s. The drill emphasizes accuracy, speed, and fundamental shooting mechanics, incorporating elements like turning, multiple target engagements, magazine changes, and target transitions. The instructor, Pat Mac, demonstrates the drill at a relaxed pace for warm-up, focusing on smooth execution and feeling the firearm and ammunition, before gradually increasing speed. He also discusses common mistakes and the importance of objective self-critique during practice.

Joel Park, drawing on his extensive experience, provides expert guidance on maximizing the effectiveness of low round count firearm training sessions. He emphasizes shifting the focus of live fire to observation and analysis, while dedicating skill-building efforts to dry practice. Park advocates for varying drills to assess different shooting aspects and introduces a structured 'cold-dry-live' training cycle for immediate feedback and correction. This approach ensures efficient use of limited ammunition for tangible skill improvement.

Joel Park, a firearms instructor with high authority, critiques vague training terms like 'exploration mode.' He advocates for specific, actionable cues and using drills like El Presidente to find a shooter's breaking point by increasing speed. The focus is on identifying and correcting specific mechanical failures rather than general exploration, emphasizing habit building through performance on demand reps.

This video details the 'Rifle Pistol El Presidente' drill, an advanced tactical training exercise. It modifies the classic El Presidente pistol drill by adding a rifle component, requiring participants to rapidly engage multiple targets with a rifle before transitioning to a pistol for a second engagement. The drill emphasizes speed, accuracy, and smooth transitions under a strict time limit, testing a shooter's ability to manage multiple firearms and engage targets effectively in a dynamic scenario.

This guide, informed by USPSA Grandmaster Mark Smith, details how to develop a robust firearm grip that remains consistent under pressure. It emphasizes grip as a dynamic element, crucial for sight return and recoil management, enabling faster follow-up shots. The guide outlines four pressure techniques and live-fire testing methods to build a durable grip suitable for competitive and tactical scenarios.

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.
