The Training Industry (Lots of people should rebuild their house)

The FN VICTOR-T is a computer vision camera-based weapon skills development tool that can be mounted on various firearm platforms. It facilitates training from basic marksmanship to advanced skills by tracking shooter movement, predicting impact points, and providing detailed feedback. The system supports virtual ranges for long-range practice without physical space and includes an instructor view for supervision, enabling training across dry, blank, and live fire scenarios.

Instruction from Achilles Heel Tactical emphasizes making training harder by using less information to build robust shooting skills. The core principle is to focus on desired future capabilities rather than current limitations, embracing mistakes as crucial learning opportunities to understand cause and effect. This approach ensures advanced shooting techniques are accessible when required.

This video emphasizes the importance of allowing oneself to fail during firearms training, particularly in a class setting. Instructor Pat Mac explains that self-critique should be viewed as an adjustment rather than self-condemnation. He grants permission to fail, provided it's not a recurring issue, to help students work within their capabilities and improve their skill set.

Daniel Horner emphasizes that 90-100% of performance is mindset-driven. He uses the analogy of a room full of balloons, where each balloon represents a skill. Training one or two skills means others will fall, requiring deliberate focus on what to train and accepting that not all skills can be at peak simultaneously. This approach relieves pressure and allows for concentrated improvement.

This video addresses the crucial question of what it takes to be 'good enough' for a firearms training class, particularly those taught by Ben Stoeger and like-minded instructors. The core message emphasizes that while technical skill is not the primary determinant for class entry, fundamental safety and a willingness to learn and practice are paramount. Instructors aim to provide tools for self-improvement, expecting students to engage in consistent practice outside of class to maximize the value of the training.

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 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.
