How fast should you dry fire so you don’t outrun the gun in live fire?
People say that you MUST have recoil for firearms training to be effective. All of my subscribers, students, and clients know that recoil doesn’t matter for first shot speed and accuracy, but what about multi-shot speed and accuracy? Well, at some speed, you absolutely must do live fire to keep shooting fast, tight groups. For…
3 Tips For Increasing Trigger Speed And Accuracy
“I feel the need…the need for speed!” -Maverick & Goose Shooting a gun fast is a LOT of fun. Shooting a gun fast and accurately, like in this video a few years ago where I shoot a 6” group with .14-.18 splits with a Glock 26 is ridiculously fun. Unfortunately, most of the…

If It’s Cold Where You Are, Do THESE Drills Today
In most places, when it’s cold outside, everything seems to slow down. You’ve got to take time to bundle up and warm up your vehicle. You might have to drive slower. A lot of our time gets eaten up with snow removal and tending the fire (we heat with wood). Everything takes longer. And training…
Fined for NOT Bringing A Gun To Church? (What I carry to church now)
This last week, Virginia made it legal to carry guns and knives in churches again. That’s how it should be, but the irony is that men used to be fined if they forgot to bring their gun to church in Virginia. Virginia law stated, ”All men that are fitting to bear arms, shall bring their…
Just “knowing” how to shoot won’t cut it for self defense…here’s why
I used to love watching GI Joe cartoons. If you don’t remember or don’t know, they’d have little public service announcements like, “if some sketchy dude pulls up next to you in a van with the windows blacked out and asks if you want candy…say no!” And then they’d say, “Now you know…and knowing is…
Practicing one hole groups is useless for self defense…without this.
I talk a lot about how important it is to be able to shoot 1 hole groups at close distances with your carry gun. And I get a lot of flack for it. “That’s useless for self defense…you need to spread out your shots” “Anyone can do that…if they can’t, they shouldn’t own a gun”…
“Shocking” “Ban(ne)d” Dry Fire Recoil Training Technique
One of the biggest challenges of dry fire is how to practice and improve recoil management. That’s why I started experimenting with different ways to fix the problem several years ago. Most of what I tried didn’t work that well… but I kept trying. The solution ended up being ridiculously simple and powerful. I have…
“What About Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs) For Home Defense?”
I got a great questionfrom Dave about Pistol Caliber Carbines for home defense. Pistol caliber carbines come in many varieties, but the most popular right now are AR pattern/style rifles that take Glock mags and shoot 9mm. There are also versions with barrels that are under 16″ that fit easily in a backpack or briefcase…
1 Hole Challenge
What kind of performance is possible with dry fire only training? A few years ago, I took the winter off of live fire practice and only did our Dry Fire Training Cards drills for 10-15 minutes per day for 6 months. I shot a few monthly competitions (4?), a few (4?) timed fun shoots, and…
I want to give you instant access to a valuable PDF with 3 drills you can do with or without a pistol that will give you tighter, faster groups the next time you go to the range.
You’ll learn how to fix low-left groups, shoot better with both eyes open (even with cross-eye dominance) and make your sights come into immediate, automatic alignment with the target each time you draw.
