This video demonstrates a marksmanship drill focused on diagnosing and improving trigger control and sight alignment. The drill involves drawing and firing five rounds at a small target (a halved 3x5 index card), emphasizing a slow, deliberate trigger press after acquiring the sights. The instructor also addresses common issues like trigger slapping and anticipating recoil, and offers advice for cross-dominant shooters.

Joel Park discusses the value of data collection in shooting, emphasizing that while quantitative metrics like scores and times can be tracked, they often fail to capture the qualitative aspects of improvement, such as discipline and trigger control. He suggests that for immediate feedback, slow-motion video can be useful for self-analysis, even if not archived. For more in-depth reflection, a journal can help articulate specific challenges and areas of focus, turning general observations into actionable training plans. For online coaching, recent match footage or videos of specific drills are recommended for analysis.

This October Challenge from Top Guns in Tarro, Indiana, focuses on precision at 10 yards with 5 shots and no time limit. The goal is to demonstrate individual shot placement and accuracy under no pressure. The challenge encourages shooters to use any firearm, including carry guns, and aims to improve fundamental shooting skills. Successful participants are recognized on a leaderboard.

The Dirty Thirty is a marksmanship drill developed by Richardson Precision & Training designed to test pure shooting accuracy. It involves firing 30 rounds from 7, 10, and 15 yards. Achieving the '300 Club' requires all shots to land within the X or 10 ring, emphasizing perfect sight alignment and trigger control. A respectable score is considered above 280.

This video details a shooting challenge focused on increasing distance accuracy with pistols. Participants engage targets at progressively longer ranges, with a limit on misses. Variations include a 'walk back' drill and a 'bat' drill, emphasizing sustained accuracy under pressure and strong-hand-only shooting.

This video details the 18-shot drill, a challenging training exercise that tests proficiency in two-handed, strong-hand-only, and weak-hand-only shooting within a single string of fire. The drill emphasizes maintaining control and accuracy across all shooting positions. It's recommended for shooters who have already established basic firearm handling skills.

Instruction from Karl Erickson of Tactical Rifleman demonstrates a critical close-quarters combat technique: using a tactical fixed blade knife to create space when an opponent attempts to grab a pistol. The video highlights the risks of close-range pistol draws and advocates for a knife transition to safely disengage and re-establish a firing platform. This technique emphasizes anatomical targets for creating distance rather than immediate lethal force.

This guide details a Navy SEAL's CQC room clearing technique, emphasizing 'economy of motion' and precise footwork. It highlights the critical 'long step' maneuver for maintaining balance and readiness when entering a corner-fed room, contrasting it with the dangerous 'short step.' The instruction, delivered by a subject matter expert, focuses on life-saving fundamentals for tactical proficiency.

This guide details an emergency ammo resupply technique using a standard USGI 6-Pocket Bandolier, as demonstrated by Karl Erickson from Tactical Rifleman. It explains how to utilize the bandolier's expandable pockets, designed for 5.56mm magazines, to rapidly pack ammunition for field resupply. The technique emphasizes efficient loading and compact storage for integration into tactical kits.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gelatin test comparing 9mm and .45 ACP defensive ammunition. Instruction comes from Pete, a retired USSF member, who details the performance of Barnes TAC-XPD 9mm and Cor-Bon Pow'R Ball .45 ACP. The comparison focuses on penetration depth, wound cavitation, and feeding reliability, particularly for 1911 platforms.
