I’ve got a quick breathing drill I want you to try. It’s a variation on “box,” “square,” or “combat” breathing. These methods normally have you breathe in for 4 seconds, hold your breath 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds, and hold your breath with empty lungs for 4 seconds. We’re going to tweak it … Continue Reading →
I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about how I make the E-Type (Plastic mil/DOD torso targets) reactive targets that I use with less-than-lethal training tools like T4E paintball markers, UTM, Airsoft, Simunition, BB’s, Pellets AND how to use them with BlazePod flash reflex and reaction lights…so I made a video 🙂 There’s a … Continue Reading →
I’ve got a great training tip for you today that could tip the scales far enough in your favor that you DON’T need to shoot in a self-defense situation. You’ve seen my videos where I demonstrate drawing and hitting target in under a second… But when I’m out and about, I don’t see my Glock … Continue Reading →
Flinch is one of the more frustrating problems that shooters face…both because of how it affects accuracy and because it can come back over-and-over through the years.

Last week, I had the privilege to teach at the A Girl And A Gun national conference for the 4th year in a row. It was in beautiful Grand Junction Colorado at the Cameo Shooting Complex and it was another incredible experience. 450+ women shooters from all 50 states took blocks of instruction on everything … Continue Reading →
Talk about a contradiction in terms! How can you be patient in a hurry? And what is visual patience? Visual patience is simply waiting until you can see to take action. If you’re doing sighted shooting, it means waiting until you can see your sights to press the trigger…sometimes clearly, sometimes not. It means waiting … Continue Reading →
I talk a lot about how to shave 10ths of a second or even a second off of the time it takes shooters to clear cover, draw, and accurately engage a target. But, did you know that there are things you can do to shave SECONDS off of your draw stroke? I’m not talking about … Continue Reading →
You may be wondering how improving your balance could POSSIBLY help you shoot better. It makes sense that better balance could help someone shoot better on the move, but how could it help you shoot faster, tighter groups when you’re standing still?
