Are you ready to make massive progress with your shooting without spending thousands of dollars in ammunition, range fees, driving time, packing and unpacking your vehicle with range gear, etc.?
Mine just died at the range...I have no confidence in this company..I will send it back..and put the SRO on a .22 for hacking around..but not on the Glock..never.
I’m so glad I found this video. My current holster when upside down I can shake it a good amount of times and it will not fall. If I do a quarter turn more to loosen it the gun falls on one shake. I want the gun to where I can draw it with ease. Currently feels like it pulls when I draw.
Maybe it’s my ignorance but shouldn’t it be ideal to be able to have a sub second draw regardless of what shirt you’re wearing, what holster you’re using, etc?
Absolutely! You can be a master at something and not be a good teacher on how to do it. Someone that is really good at something and wants to teach that thing literally has to learn a new skill in the form of how to be a good, effective teacher. Especially with The communication part of teaching.
I’m a left handed shooter and right eye dominant. I have no problem with it. I get on target fine without moving me head. It just feels natural to me. But sometimes I like to train with my dot occluded because it really shows me if I’m not solidly target focused. But whenever I shoot occluded, my point of impact is always a few inches right at about 12 to 15 yards. I wonder if cross eye dominance might have something to do with it. 🤷🏼♂️ No problems when I shoot without occlusion.
@@myowndryfire thanks! I’ll concentrate on that my next range day. Hopefully this weekend. No doubt that 90% of the time grip issues are usually a problem with impact shifts.. I’ll have to see if my grip changes at all when I occlude my dot. I don’t know why it would but it’s possible for sure. When my dot is not occluded, I seem to do fine. I’ll be pretty much on target except for the occasional flub where I can just about call the shot when it’s off from my grip. it’s only when I occlude my dot is when I see a consistent shift to the right. I’ll have to pay attention to my grip next time I occlude my dot.
Good stuff! Thanks for the reminder to everyone and for not sugar coating this. My instructor reminds us now and then that shooting and gun handling is a perishable skill. He says the same thing to us that you’re saying here. Every single morning when I put my gun on for the day, I do at least 10 draws for clearing my shirt and just get the feeling of my grip and getting on target. It only takes a few minutes and is worth the time. If I go 2 weeks without live fire, I go crazy. I feel like I’m not doing my part. I dry fire practice at least 3 times a week. About 20 or 30 minutes each.
Dude! Your channel is awesome! I’d love to take one of your classes. I love when you say conceal carry “lifestyle”. To do it correctly and to be efficient and safe, it truly is a lifestyle change. And in a good way! People should take their protection seriously and train and practice and don’t cheap out on gear. I’ve been binge watching your video. Love your interview with Scott Jedlinski! He was my go to guy when I decided to go to an optic. Keep it up, man!
The monthly action pistol session, that I attend, is the day after the monthly CCW qualification. Before and during the whole session, there is always the "let's talk crap about the people that were there," because they made slight errors that a new shooter would make. This coming from a bunch of guys who conceal carry themselves, but when they are there, I've never seen one of them draw from concealment with live fire. They draw from OWB belts and some of them have the most atrocious groupings, malfunction clearing, and weapon manipulation. When asked why they don't draw from Concealment they usually respond with, "It's all the same, there's no difference." I have a OWB setup as well, but always have my AIWB holster and draw from it as well. Sometimes, it's all I bring. The action pistol sessions are supposed to be centered around carry-use weapons, but the majority of them have their "range only" long-slide pistols or ones that malfunction so much they should be thrown in the garbage. Some gun owners are experts at being a LIABILITY, not an asset. I, unfortunately, have the pleasure of shooting with them.
Those patches and coins aren’t just trinkets. They are a collection of goals achieved. My collection is much smaller than both of yours, but I’m out here working at it.
I have one of those masterminds tactics pillow wedges, very comfortable. I’ve tried different yoga block shapes, and sizes and found I liked the mastermind product the best. The only downside is on a hot sweaty day. It will soak up some of your sweat.
unfortunately, the shooting industry is a place where people confuse retelling with instruction. I think where people get confused is they misinterpret their understanding for the craft to being able to teach it. And just like you said, a big divider is how often one person can train. when I first started, I used to chase instructor programs, but like Brennan said from Gateway, a good instructors comes from somebody who trains themselves hard and smart.
This video was spot on. I've considered becoming an instructor, and I am "one" for LE, but I've always seen the industry saturated with instructors. I also would say that I feel I wouldn't be teaching anything else that I haven't heard from other instructors, and I don't want to regurgitate information for the sake of it. We definitely need more instructors like you, Jedi, and Rick from AHT, just to name a few that not only can shoot very well but also pass the information in a way that can be digested well and can be repeatable. Anyways, excellent video.
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been to several classes some really good, and some I’d rather have just spent the money on ammo and practiced myself. That said I’ve been heavily considering becoming an instructor, but I never quite feel trained enough to the point of being able to train others. Some instructors I actually laugh at because I could run circles around them and their abilities and information delivery, but others I’m like “they’re on a whole ‘nother level”. How and when do you really feel adequate enough to start teaching? I feel like I’ll NEVER be at a proficient enough level to teach…
I found out about my cross eye dominance in a hunter safety class. I practice keeping my head straight on the draw using a mirror. Don't have a range to practice shooting on the move.
Great video. I started shooting in January and cross eye dominant (left). I had very inconsistent target acquisition and just 2 weeks ago just started presenting to my right eye (with a red dot) and now I can see the dot just fine. It really just takes many reps on reps. Hope this helps your other subscribers. Keep repping it out!! If you’re using a dot definitely just present to the closest eye.
Don’t know… I don’t like playing the “what if” game… issues like no shoots come with time problems (make ups & tentativeness after the NS on the same stage)
