USPSA GM: “You NEED a load & make ready process”

This video demonstrates various firearm transition and ready drills, emphasizing speed and accuracy. It covers techniques for moving between compressed, high, and low ready positions, as well as efficient reloads and target transitions. The content includes specific drills like the 'dope drill' for practicing accuracy at different distances and the 'build drill' for rapid target engagement and reloads, suitable for intermediate shooters looking to improve their competitive or tactical performance.

This video demonstrates the PSTG Standards drill, a competitive shooting exercise performed by Ben Stoeger. It showcases rapid target engagement, efficient combat reloads using extended magazines, and precise scoring. The drill emphasizes speed, accuracy, and smooth weapon manipulation, culminating in a score review. Instruction is provided from an expert competitive shooter's perspective.

This video critically examines the effectiveness of point shooting versus using sights (iron or red dot) for pistol engagement. It argues that while point shooting may have niche applications, proper sight acquisition and a solid index point are crucial fundamentals for all shooters, especially for self-defense and competitive scenarios. The discussion highlights that red dot sights simplify aiming by requiring focus on the target, offering a clear advantage over iron sights which demand more complex alignment.

This video demonstrates a novel dry-fire training system developed by Recoil Systems that uses electrical impulses to simulate firearm recoil. The system attaches to the shooter's body and delivers electrical shocks to muscles when the trigger is pulled, mimicking the physical sensation of recoil without live ammunition. The intensity is adjustable, allowing for a range of simulated recoil effects, from mild to intense.

This guide emphasizes a training philosophy where 90% of practice should be dedicated to isolated skill-building, focusing on personal improvement. The remaining 10% is for testing these skills in competitive or coached environments. This data-driven approach, advocated by Tenicor founder Jeff Fails, uses performance metrics from tools like the PACT Club Timer III to refine isolated practice.

Joel Park, an expert competitive shooter, explains why compensating for shooting errors by aiming differently is a detrimental practice. He emphasizes addressing the root cause of misses, such as trigger control issues, rather than applying 'band-aid' solutions. The video demonstrates techniques for improving sight recovery during drills like the one-shot return, highlighting the importance of minimizing input and focusing on finesse over force for consistent accuracy, especially as distances increase.

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.
