Think You’re Fast? Grandmaster Explains Why Your Draw Is Slow (And How to Fix It)

This video, featuring insights from Joel Park, addresses the common question of whether focusing on the entire A-zone is more efficient for fast shooting. Park argues against this 'loser mentality,' advocating for precise visual focus on the aiming point, even at speed. He demonstrates a drill comparing focused versus broad visual acquisition, highlighting that precise focus, while seemingly slower, leads to greater consistency and accountability. The video also provides actionable advice on using rules in dry fire to improve trigger control and reduce over-confirmation.

This video emphasizes the synergistic relationship between dry fire and live fire training, particularly in the context of rising ammunition costs. Instructor Ben Stoeger advocates for consistent, focused dry fire practice to build fundamental skills like grip, trigger control, and sight alignment. He stresses that live fire should be viewed as a diagnostic tool to inform and validate dry fire efforts, rather than solely focusing on results. By integrating these methods, shooters can maximize their skill development even with limited ammunition.

This video, featuring USPSA Grandmaster Mark Smith and instructor Frank Proctor, details advanced techniques for controlling rifle recoil. It emphasizes establishing a consistent connection to the firearm, proper support hand pressure and placement using a 'grip and hang' method, and optimizing stance and body mechanics to manage both lateral and vertical recoil. The instruction focuses on achieving predictable sight return, a consistent recoil pattern, and a durable, repeatable technique for aggressive firing strings.

Joel Park, an expert with over 20,000 rounds annually, discusses maintaining long-term shooting training consistency. He emphasizes sustainability, acknowledging that life events impact practice and that plateaus are normal. Park advises against over-committing to avoid burnout, suggesting flexibility and intentional breaks to maintain motivation and effectiveness in practice routines.

This video details an intermediate/advanced competitive shooter's practice session with a Glock 43X in an appendix carry (AIWB) configuration during an indoor match. It covers gear setup with an On Point Holster and Nexbelt, performance in IDPA classifier stages including emergency reloads and failure drills, and emphasizes the adjustment period when switching to subcompact firearms. The instructor encourages viewers to engage in competition, prioritize safety, and maintain consistency.

This video discusses a Sig P320 X5 Legion uncommanded discharge incident during a Steel Challenge match. The analysis suggests a mechanical defect rather than user error, leading to a temporary ban of the P320 from Steel Challenge events. It highlights the importance of firearm safety and the ongoing debate surrounding the P320's reliability.

This video demonstrates an advanced self-defense technique for surviving an armed robbery. An expert instructor showcases how to de-escalate, comply to create a distraction, and execute a rapid concealed draw from an Appendix (AIWB) position to neutralize the threat. The demonstration highlights weapon retention and close-quarters combat proficiency.

This guide, presented by Jeff from Tenicor, outlines five common mistakes new concealed carriers make. It emphasizes choosing appropriate holsters and belts, selecting suitable clothing, finding a balance between firearm size and shootability, and carrying with a round in the chamber. The advice focuses on practical application and safety for everyday carry.

This guide details safe reholstering techniques for appendix carry, emphasizing visual control and body positioning to prevent self-injury. Expert Jeff from Tenicor, with over 25 years of daily carry experience, demonstrates the 'muzzle wedge' method, crucial for appendix inside-the-waistband (AIWB) holsters. The advice is geared towards intermediate carriers looking to refine their safety protocols.

This guide outlines the four universal firearms handling rules, emphasizing their critical importance as they are 'written in blood' due to past tragedies. The rules are: 1. All guns are always loaded. 2. Never point a gun at anything you're not willing to shoot or destroy. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target. 4. Be sure of your target and what's behind and beyond it. The video, presented with authoritative instruction from a professional instructor, also touches on the 'Be Polite' rule and the distinction between universal safety rules and specific range protocols.
