This Is How The Best Shooters Train

This guide, presented by an experienced firearms instructor, outlines a systematic approach to improving shooting skills with limited range time. It emphasizes identifying weaknesses through observation, focused dry-fire practice on specific skills, and strategic live-fire sessions that test those skills. The core principle is to work on one aspect at a time to create meaningful, lasting improvements rather than trying to address multiple issues simultaneously.

This video from Joel Park addresses the common practice of using thumbs to manage recoil on handguns, particularly with aftermarket accessories like 'gas pedals' or slide stop shelves. Park argues against actively pushing or resting thumbs on these devices, stating it can negatively steer the muzzle and compromise grip stability. He advocates for a natural thumb resting position that doesn't actively input force, emphasizing consistent hand-to-pistol connection for recoil management.

This video details the 'Doubles' marksmanship drill, focusing on shooting pairs of shots with an emphasis on aggressive trigger control and sight management. Instructor Ben Stoeger explains how to execute the drill at various distances, highlighting the importance of minimizing tension, focusing on the point of impact, and allowing the sight to return naturally. The drill aims to improve speed and accuracy by emulating close-range target engagement.

This instructional video demonstrates fundamental pistol shooting techniques, focusing on proper sight alignment and trigger control for beginners. Instructor Mike guides a new shooter through achieving a clear front sight picture, a proper two-hand grip, and a slow, steady trigger press. The emphasis is on making adjustments and understanding the visual cues for accurate shooting, with a reminder to breathe normally.

This video addresses common grip inconsistencies in pistol shooting, emphasizing the importance of consistent grip pressure and proper hand placement. Instructor Joel Park demonstrates techniques for analyzing grip issues through dry fire exercises, including testing pressure variations between hands and observing the effect of trigger press on sight alignment. He also touches on grip circumference and hand length, and the potential for sight movement during striker fall.

This video provides an expert-level guide to improving handgun accuracy by addressing common grip flaws, specifically the 'sympathetic muscle movement' that causes shots to drop low and left. It introduces the 'crush grip' technique, emphasizing maximizing pressure with non-trigger fingers to isolate the trigger finger for a straight rearward press. Additional tips on sight picture, breathing, stance, and follow-through are also covered.

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 details nine concealed carry positions, ranging from traditional IWB and AIWB to less common methods like ankle and off-body carry. It emphasizes the critical importance of trigger guard coverage and consistent training for safe and effective firearm concealment. The video highlights specialized gear like the Phlster Enigma for enhanced concealment options.
