Leads on Moving Targets With Pistols
I know that I have readers who believe in liberty, tolerance, and free speech, as long as it doesn’t have anything to do with Jesus…If that’s you, I ask for a few moments of tolerance, open mindedness and I think you’ll appreciate what I’m about to say. Today is Good Friday. The day when a…
KKM Match Grade Glock 26 Replacement Barrel Field Test & Review
8” groups at 85 yards…with a subcompact? Awhile back, I decided to upgrade the little 3.42″ barrel in my Glock 26. I changed the ammo I was carrying from 124gr to 147gr and the stock barrel didn’t seem to like it as much. Specifically, I have steel in my back yard at 55 and 85…
Training for reality vs. training for averages
In general, most people want things delivered in nice clean packages. It’s natural to want complex ideas simplified down to a soundbite or bumper sticker. And it’s normal to want specific shooting scenarios or defensive situations to practice for…a drill that we can complete in a specific amount of time and know that we’re “good…
Visual, Vestibular Drills For Shooting Esophoria
I don’t know about you, but I enjoyed watching the NCAA championship last night. I’m not much of a basketball fan, but I am a big fan of watching people perform at a high level under stress. Just to add a little fun to the night, I decided to wear a UNC fleece, even though…
See how the right grip can cut your draw time in half and your followup speed by 75%
In a gunfight or competition, the time from beep to bang doesn’t matter nearly as much as the time from beep to when you make your first effective hit. You simply can’t miss fast enough to win a gun fight…and only effective hits count. And one of the fundamentals of fast first hits under stress…
The myth of “Point” or “Instinctive” shooting
I got a great question/comment on Facebook today and I wanted to share it, and my response, with you… I talked some with Stephen…he has real world experience stopping lethal force threats with a pistol. But he had 10s of thousands of rounds of practice ammo provided for him that allowed him to develop…
Fighter Pilots & Combat Pistol
I got a well meaning question on FB that I wanted to share with you. It’s important to understand that people say things on social media in ways that they’d never say in person: Edward made the common mistake of thinking that being able to hit things when you’re plinking with friends with no stress…
Low Ready vs. Holster & Sighted vs. Unsighted Shooting
We’ve got a shooting study group that meets once a month to force us to get out of our comfort zone. It’s all guys who are serious about shooting and can be trusted to move and shoot safely on a hot range in poor conditions. A lot of times, we end up shooting when it’s…
Speed up your 1-Handed Drawstroke From Concealment
Today, we’re going to talk about 1-handed drawstrokes from concealment. I sprained my wrist falling on the ice a couple of weeks ago, so I haven’t been able to use my left hand while shooting since then. This weekend, I even shot an IDPA match 1 handed, because that’s all I had. It was slower,…
2 steps to a sub-second drawstroke
Today, we’re going to go over some specific techniques for speeding up your drawstroke using the camera on your smartphone. With the simple techniques I’m going to show you, you’ll be able to quickly identify and fix problems in your technique in a few minutes in your living room…problems that would normally take hours…
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.
