Range Ready Tip: Working From High Ready | Gun Talk Videos

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, details the critical importance of a proper trigger press for accuracy. He emphasizes understanding each phase of the trigger pull, from initial contact to the final break, and how rushing or flinching sabotages accuracy. The guide covers establishing a solid grip, a smooth trigger application, and the benefits of dry-fire practice for developing muscle memory and consistency. This instruction is aimed at helping shooters of all levels improve their fundamental shooting skills.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to low round count firearms training drills designed to improve fundamental shooting skills. Instructor Alyssa Seymour emphasizes that every trigger pull should have a purpose and advocates for data collection through mindful practice. Drills include a one-live-one-dry exercise, controlled double taps, progressive shot count drills, transition exercises, and moving drills, all aimed at building consistency and performance on demand with minimal ammunition expenditure.

This guide details Ben Stoeger's approach to trigger press training, emphasizing aggressive, subconscious manipulation for speed and accuracy. It advises practicing rapid, straight trigger pulls during dry fire to minimize conscious thought during live shooting. For critical shots, a conscious, careful press is recommended, but the ultimate goal is to develop an aggressive, subconscious trigger control that can be applied to most shooting scenarios.

This video details the Blank Paper Drill, a technique championed by competitive shooter John Shue, to drastically improve pistol shooting accuracy by focusing solely on sight alignment and trigger control. The drill involves shooting at a blank target at 25 yards, forcing the shooter to concentrate on the front sight and its relationship with the rear sight, rather than the aiming point. This method is credited with significantly improving the shooter's scores in bullseye competitions, moving them from the mid-850s to the high 880s out of 900 points.

This video emphasizes practicing shooting techniques that are uncomfortable or challenging to improve overall consistency. Instructor Joel Park details how to address common shooting faults like over-pressing the trigger or rushing shots by focusing on specific drills.
