Cross-dominant shooting with shotguns, rifles, and archery
One of the more common visual challenges that shooters have is cross-eye-dominance…where their dominant eye is different than their favored hand. They either shoot with their right hand and left eye or shoot with their left hand and right eye. It can be very frustrating because shooting with cross dominance can make things appear very…
Pear Pie & why the ‘shape of your pistol groups’ matters
I’ve got a couple of ads running on FB that have had hundreds of comments. They’re talking about pistol shooting errors and the image is a simple target with a low-left group. Several of the comments have been “3 clicks up, 3 clicks right. Done.” or, “Kentucky windage…hold up and right and you’re good.” In some…
A 47% (avg) increase in speed+accuracy in 5 minutes? See the story…
I was one of the instructors at the A Girl And A Gun Conference at Cameo in Grand Junction this last week/weekend. On Sunday, I did a sneaky experiment with the morning vision training class. ~5 minutes of simple drills resulted in an average 47% improvement in speed and accuracy! For the test, we were…

AR Dry Fire Training With paintball and airsoft for home defense
I’m a huge fan of the AR in all of it’s variants. But between limitations on where you can train, the cost of training, and safety concerns when doing 270-360 degree training, it can be a challenge. You can practice with your real AR, but you’ve got to be exacting with your safety procedures and…
Backpeddling as a self-defense skill
One of the things that I’ve heard more times than I can count is to never back up when you’re shooting because you’ll catch your heel and trip & fall. Back in the dark ages when the majority of firearms training was done with nearly 100% live fire, that made sense. You don’t want people…
