Scenarios with Wampler

This training drill, dubbed 'stuck in the mud' by the instructor, focuses on initiating movement after static shooting. The exercise involves engaging a paper target, then moving linearly towards a steel target positioned behind an agility stick. The key is to break the plane of the stick and engage the paper again before re-engaging the steel, emphasizing efficient transitions and avoiding over-penetration of the movement phase.

This video demonstrates the impact of pistol and rifle rounds on both paper and steel targets from TA Targets. It highlights the differences in impact effects between calibers on various target materials, showcasing how steel targets reveal clear impact zones and paper targets show hole size and placement. The content serves as a visual reference for range training and target performance.

This YouTube video presents a "Brain Teaser" pistol drill. The drill involves shooting one round at steel targets and then one round at paper targets, with the user encouraged to "prosecute anyway you see fit," suggesting a focus on individual execution and training. The title implies a practical application or training exercise for pistol handling and marksmanship.

This video demonstrates the terminal ballistics of a .357 Magnum round fired from a 12-gauge shotgun using a sabot. The test involves shooting through water and ballistic gel to assess energy transfer and wound cavity creation. The results highlight significant energy transfer and the destructive potential of the sabot-fired projectile.

This video tests the lethality and dispersion of 'chain shot' ammunition. Two types, large and small, were evaluated by observing their effect on a water jug for energy transfer, a paper target for spread, and a homemade body armor sample for penetration. The results indicate chain shot is less lethal than a .22 caliber round but still causes significant fragmentation and spread.

This guide details the process of zeroing a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 PU Sniper rifle using its fixed 3.5x PU scope. It covers manual loading, initial shot placement, scope adjustments via elevation and windage turrets, and transitioning to steel silhouette targets. The demonstration emphasizes proper bolt manipulation and consistent marksmanship, reflecting a high level of expertise from the instructor.

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.
