This video demonstrates the Tier One Concealed '3 Bill Drill,' a shooting exercise that combines three distances (15, 10, and 7 yards) into a single drill. The objective is to achieve all shots within the 'A' zone (center mass) at each distance, emphasizing both speed and accuracy. The instructor aims to push their speed while maintaining precision, showcasing a practical training method for improving handgun proficiency.

This video demonstrates a dynamic shooting drill focused on developing a stable, aggressive stance and effective movement. The instructor emphasizes maintaining a wide base with bent knees, separating upper body shooting actions from lower body locomotion, and returning to a ready stance after movement. The drill aims to ingrain positive habits for shooting while moving, highlighting that even subtle body shifts can be beneficial.

This video details a comprehensive pistol skills test developed by Ben Stoeger, designed to benchmark shooter proficiency. It incorporates elements like drawing from a holster, shooting from various positions (standing, kneeling), strong and weak-hand-only shooting, movement, and reloads, all under strict par times. The test uses three USPSA targets and requires a range capable of 25-yard shooting. Stoeger emphasizes that the par times are set with a buffer, making the test achievable with dedicated training.

This video demonstrates a speed shooting drill focusing on draw stroke and target acquisition from approximately 12 yards. The presenter aims to beat a personal best time of 0.97 seconds using a Grab Bags Renegade bag. While not looking at the target, the presenter emphasizes speed and relies on muscle memory for accurate shooting, achieving times as low as 1 second flat.

This video addresses the common issue of feeling slow and choppy during shooting matches due to over-focusing on accuracy. Instructor Joel Park explains that this often stems from staring at the sights or pausing movement unnaturally. He provides practical dry-fire and live-fire drills to improve target transitions and maintain fluid movement, emphasizing target focus over sight focus and developing a natural walking cadence.

This expert-level guide breaks down the 2-4-2 drill as demonstrated by Rick Crawley of Achilles Heel Tactical. The drill, designed to improve shooting efficiency and accuracy under time pressure, involves engaging targets in a specific sequence (2-4-2). The video emphasizes analyzing hit factors, movement efficiency, and target prioritization for both rifle and pistol. It highlights how this drill exposes deficiencies in movement and decision-making, recommending both dry and live-fire practice.

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.
