You prolly dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest series on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf for the last few days :)
This is tip of the spear teaching in fundamentals of performance shooting. His ability to teach the student what he is seeing, and processing is the difference. He teaches how to process important information which means becoming aware. The goal here to be taught how to be self-taught. Our eyes are amazing at given us the ability to take in large amounts of information, but like anything else this talent must be trained into a skill. Our eyes are the fastest working body part which means we can see faster than we can pull the trigger. If you want to shoot with a harmonious balanced between speed and accuracy you must be able to see and process information fast. Thank you for sharing.
These videos bring the books alive. I've own, read and practiced by the book, but seeing takes the things totally to the next level. Anyhow, truly recommend the books 🙏
First of all, I’m very appreciative of Ben posting all of these classes. However, I’d like to point out how awesome it is to see him obviously practice what he preaches. Watching this video vs more recent videos, you can see his improvement. Being at this level, improvement doesn’t come easy and he is obviously already at a very high level here. The fact that he has improved since then, means he is putting in the work at the range and dry fire and still bringing us passionate (obviously) content and courses years later. What a dude, dude. Cheers and Shalom!
Great analogy at about 8:30 into video about driving the car. When riding a motorcycle you are taught, when making a turn, to look where you want to go, not where the bike is pointed.
After watching this video, today I worked in predictive shooting and target transition with the eyes first. Wow. Fast accurate shots and the transitions felt natural. Thanks for the good info!
Another analogy from football is to watch the ball into your hands. Too many receivers see the ball but then try to look at what’s next before they have it in their hands. You see it all the time at all levels of the sport. Good video! Thanks
I cannot put into words how thankful I am for this video! Wait, I just did.. Incredible instruction with concise explanation and examples. His words apply to more than just the range! Again, thank you.
I’m late seeing this...but must say the information you have provided here is priceless !!! Thank you. I purchased your book “Practical Shooting Training” that you wrote with Joel Park and was intrigued with your training methodology. I realize reading books and watching training videos are not a substitute for in person instruction. However, I must state you Sir, are a talented instructor. Keep up your great content. I appreciate your efforts.
Great content thank you for sharing! This video clarifies the concepts in DryFire Reloaded. The target transition piece was great, it's the antithesis of T-Rex tactical drive the gun like a turret that seems to dominate RU-vid. The stage walk through and comments about training at full speed were also valuable. So often I find myself getting too far into a portal or in an awkward spot because I am pumped up during a match. I'd love to see more on hard-soft entry/exit.
"T-Rex tactical drive the gun like a turret" seems like a misrepresentation. They're both great shooters with slightly different approaches. Finding a style you like doesn't mean all the other ones suck.
Great video, as a guy with thousands of rounds down range but new to competitive shooting you illustrated and explained every problem I have. I will be watching several more times
I watch many videos of people covering the fine idiosyncrasies of running successful USPSA shooting. I like Bens, basically (KISS) keep it simple stupid method of training. He has a clear and simply way of explaining and executing techniques to achieve great results in this sport.
Hi Ben -- thanks for these videos they are gold - i have one question - how do you address tension - i get exteremelly tense when shooting competition what drills can i do to breakdown the tension?
That’s correct, locked wrists, tight support hand grip and , eyes on target where you want sights to fall back on target. Loose firing hand, form support hand
Great video, I'm just getting into competition shooting and this is invaluable. BTW, what's with the CBGB inspired Tshirt logo? Does Ben listen to old school punk rock?
This is gold! I've learned so much! so many things I never knew. I'm excited to practice and train so many things now. Thumbs up! But, Ben, stop swearing so much, you're a role model. Kids watch you, and associating foul language and shooting shouldn't happen.
