5 drills for trigger finger isolation (One is “Magical”)
One of the most common problems in shooting is low-left groups for right handers. It’s normally caused by a combination of anticipating recoil and/or “sympathetic squeeze.” Basically, it’s not always easy to press the trigger without squeezing the rest of the fingers, the thumb, and flexing the wrist at the same time. To complicate things,…
Should you go to the range when you’re going through a dry fire course?
I got a question from Darryl from Ft. Worth over the weekend asking whether or not he should avoid going to the range to do some shooting while he is going through the 21 Day Alpha Shooter Course.

No Time To Practice? Here’s 4 1-Minute Dry Fire Drills You Can Do In Your Car Or On A Plane
When I’m talking with shooters, the biggest reason people give for not doing the dry fire training is time. I get it. Sometimes, my days are so crazy that I don’t even have 10-15 minutes to do things that I know I need to do. So, today, I’m going to share 4 drills with you…

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 65 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…

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…
