Pistol Trigger Control with JJ Racaza

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 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, featuring insights from Joel Park, addresses the common question of whether focusing on the entire A-zone is more efficient for fast shooting. Park argues against this 'loser mentality,' advocating for precise visual focus on the aiming point, even at speed. He demonstrates a drill comparing focused versus broad visual acquisition, highlighting that precise focus, while seemingly slower, leads to greater consistency and accountability. The video also provides actionable advice on using rules in dry fire to improve trigger control and reduce over-confirmation.

This guide details the 'Crush Grip' technique for improving pistol accuracy, as explained by an expert instructor from Line45. It addresses the common issue of low-left shots caused by 'sympathetic movement' and provides a structured training plan including dry fire, ball and dummy drills, and one-handed exercises. The focus is on stabilizing the firearm by maximizing grip pressure with non-trigger fingers, leading to tighter groups and better recoil control across various firearms and calibers.

This video provides instruction on fundamental shooting techniques, focusing on proper trigger control and stance. The instructor emphasizes a slow, deliberate trigger press to the 'wall' and then a smooth release, while also advising against anticipating recoil. Stance adjustments, including leaning forward and bending knees, are demonstrated to improve stability and manage recoil effectively. The importance of efficient magazine changes is also highlighted.

This video addresses the common issue of feeling slow and choppy during shooting matches due to over-focusing on accuracy. Instructor Joel Park explains that this often stems from staring at the sights or pausing movement unnaturally. He provides practical dry-fire and live-fire drills to improve target transitions and maintain fluid movement, emphasizing target focus over sight focus and developing a natural walking cadence.

This guide details the technique for firing the Micro Uzi in full-auto, as demonstrated by Dave Merrill and Dave Rhoden on RECOILtv. It emphasizes proper grip, stock usage, and recoil management due to the firearm's high cyclic rate (1250 RPM). The instruction highlights the effectiveness of the compensator ports in controlling muzzle rise during intense firing sequences.

This video provides an expert-level look inside a real Ukrainian arms room in 2024, showcasing a diverse array of weaponry from Soviet-era relics to modern Western platforms. Host Iain Harrison, RECOIL's editor, details the logistical shift towards NATO standards and highlights specific weapon systems in use by Ukrainian forces in Eastern Ukraine. The entry emphasizes the practical application and integration of various firearms and munitions in a high-intensity conflict zone.

This entry details the extensive career of Billy Waugh, a legendary figure in US special operations and intelligence. It covers his early life, military service in Korea and Vietnam with Special Forces and SOG, pioneering HALO jump techniques, and advanced intelligence gathering operations in Africa. Waugh's expertise in clandestine surveillance, tracking high-value targets like Carlos the Jackal and Osama bin Laden, and utilizing night operations in challenging environments is highlighted.

This guide details the field stripping and basic operation of the PKM machine gun, as demonstrated by Iain Harrison of RECOILtv. It covers disassembly steps including barrel and bolt carrier group removal, as well as loading and unloading procedures. Harrison, an expert with high authority, highlights the PKM's Soviet construction and unique feeding mechanism compared to Western designs.
