Shooting on The Move

Ben Stoeger emphasizes precision over raw speed in target transitions. He advises focusing on a small spot on the target and letting the gun naturally follow your gaze, akin to using a mouse pointer. This technique, when mastered, allows for faster and more accurate transitions than 'driving' the gun or using physical cues like pointing thumbs. He suggests practicing for precision first, then gradually increasing speed while maintaining relaxation and control.

Joel Park explains why setting up USPSA-style stages in classes is often an inefficient use of time. He advocates for focused drills that build specific skills rather than broad stage simulations. While acknowledging 'scrambler' drills can offer a snapshot of performance, he emphasizes isolating components for effective skill development.

This YouTube video features the creator attempting a firearms drill from Baer Solutions. While acknowledging it's "a little late," they express a desire to practice and execute the drill. The title and description are very brief and directly reference the Baer Solutions drill, indicating a focus on practical shooting skills or training exercises. No specific firearms or calibers are mentioned.

This video by Ben Stoeger discusses the effectiveness of shooting on the move versus snapping to a static position. Stoeger demonstrates that for longer distances or more challenging targets, a slow, creeping shooting style is often less productive than quickly moving to a stable stance and engaging targets. The core takeaway is to assess if shooting on the move is genuinely improving your time and accuracy, or if a static engagement is more efficient.

This video explores the effectiveness of using a treadmill for dry-fire training to improve shooting on the move. Instructor Lena Miculek demonstrates how 20 minutes of consistent motion on a treadmill can increase awareness of footwork, sight bounce, and trigger timing, leading to measurable improvements in accuracy and speed on a subsequent shooting drill. The technique emphasizes developing a feel for body mechanics during movement.

This entry details techniques for improving stage times in practical shooting, as explained by elite instructors Ben Stoeger, Joel Park, and Hwansik Kim of PSTG. Key concepts include blending tasks, optimizing transitions between shooting positions, and enhancing movement efficiency. The guide also touches on foundational skills like one-handed shooting and the importance of shooting discipline based on target risk.

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.
