Common Mistakes of Beginner Shooters 

Fundamentals of Marksmanship broken down into 2 basic concepts - (1) line up the sights and (2) squeeze the trigger without disturbing the sights - PFM (Pure F-ing Magic), ain't it? Only took me about 20 years of competition to learn it ... 25 more years after that and I am still trying to get it right each and every time.

You have an innate, uncanny ability to convey your thoughts and make the intent be clearly understood; you're the best Pat McNamara 💪🏼😎🇺🇲

Man I wish Pat had been my marksmanship instructor when I was younger. Fantastic teacher.

I like Pats talking cadence, He keeps it interesting. Good tips in this lesson.

I am not an expert shooter. Yet, every once in a while, someone talks to me saying they are going to buy a handgun. This type of video is a perfect recommendation to steer them in the right direction. I even like the movements, not sweeping, clearing, visually checking handgun for clear. I will recommend this to anyone who asks. Thanks.

Love Mac's straight forward approach . No BS.

Dude him reciting what he was doing at end pisses me off…it’s too damn IMPRESSIVE lol. That was just amazing to me. He didn’t miss a beat. It always cool seeing how many time he checks the pistols status when it comes out of the holster. Straight class. And it’s let’s you know if the professionals are doing it that systematic, it’s motivating to want that engrained. Rock n’ Roll!!!

Been a cop for 22+ years and the most dangerous days at work are days I am running quals - for other cops, no less. Thanks for what you do and thank you for your service!

I love the intro on how to learn. Self correcting being more important than spoon feeding. The way you put it really is a great way to encourage self ownership…. Stealing that bro! Thank you sensei pat mac!

Mac's style of teaching is why I consider him to be one of the very best teachers in the industry. I hope I'm fortunate enough to take a class one of these days.

I love the sound of empty casing on the ground. :)

Daily dose of Pat Mac. Thank you sir.

Wow, best instructor I have ever seen.

Man...always knew there was a reason I liked PatMac. Just like Johnny Cash...PatMac walks the line, too!

I just tought a newbie couple last Tuesday. And after 15min in I paused,sent them for water,and adjusted myself. I learned my regular vernacular ways were not working for this couple. So I as a student first and. Teacher of the craft 2nd,noticed and adjusted and changed. Rest the of class went very well. You Pat touched on so many things that all of us students and teachers could take from this short but to the point video. I for one appreciate that. So thank you brother from one range rat to another.

Would really enjoy learning from a master like Pat. He has such a great style that is 1) safe, and 2) supremely effective.

You verbiage is on point. I have performed PMI and coached on the range for decades. I would like to have your skill using words to illustrate or reinforced points.

I was an Infantryman and this is still good to hear. Found myself dry firing just to see if I was making these mistakes

I rewatch this all the time whether here or Panteo. Good way for me to do my refresher. And there is always something that stands out pertinent to my ability at the time of listen👍🏻🇺🇸

GREAT Info! Always good to hear the basics again and again... thank you!

Pat Mac videos are gold. Thank you

Thank you brother. Great tip.

Dude is a National Treasure, what every American should be. Thank you for continually reminding me that America has a chance.

Simple, Great!

"monkey see, monkey do" That's how I learned how to ski.

Thanks Pat! Your original fundamentals video is one of my favorite pieces of content BAGOOSH!!!!!

Thank you

Excellent teacher.

Don't take this the wrong way..I wish my dad was alive to share your wisdom..he was like you..would have connected..total professional but so much more..he was a tennis coach..loved people..children..but everyone as an individual..their own style, ability, capability..you're a great teacher

Pat's the man!

Top lessons 💪

Outstanding 🙏👏👍🏻🤞

I can listen to this guy talk all day

Great!

You literally can't get much better advice than this right here

Top tier

when Pat speaks i always listeb

Cant wait to take my pistol sentinel course!

NEW SUBSCRIBER,,,, I am a new pistol shooter and have consealed carry class tomorrow have 300 rounds through my glock 48mos bringinit in and bettter grouping but still low and left still on 3 and 7 yard line, paying attention to grip and front sight , saw your video about not leaving gap with trigger finger I am left eye dominant right handed

Ooh wee that target on the right side of the screen over Pat’s left shoulder is looking real good. Someone was on their A game that day

Fantastic video 👍 Sig P-220 no safety to click, but finger is out of trigger guard. 🤔

Love the concept of group critique,

Pat I love your videos I believe your honestly one of the best around. If you could answer a question for me I would love it. As a former LEO I was always taught to come back to low ready, SUL or modified low ready. I notice your muzzle is pointed slightly up. What is the benefit of this? Not criticizing in the least just wanting some more education from a Master Craftsman.

If I ever were to go to a range to take lessons I wish it to be like this. But I live in a different country with ultra strict gun laws and it will probably never happen. I am nontheless really grateful to be able to learn fundamentals through free information like this and I can at least dry fire. You never know when you might need it.

Breath, slack, press. Works everytime it's tried.

I really like that you still use diddy's in your training. They work great on rewiring the brain housing groups of wirey teenagers in boot camp and they still are great training aids in general.

*MORNING Y'ALL*

Great tips...#1 will save lives. I like how you instruct.

We have hard drives? Cause I only have 3 brain cells: right, middle and left. So I have to be very careful with them.

This makes me recall the first class I had w/ Walter Rausch(sp?), it was at an indoor range in mid-winter & everyone was waiting in the lounge w/"weapons holstered".....SUPPOSEDLY !!!....no they were not & there was "more muzzle "flashing" going on than at a strip joint" as one dude explained,......lol...... & when Walt walked in he QUICKLY explained "HOLSTER YOUR WEAPONS & The first guy to point his weapon at me gets shot before he shoots me" !!!......DONE !!!!......aahhh - the good ole' days - Man to Man - Right to the Point !!

Is it 0430 in Vegas.

Beginners lack trigger finger discipline...I see it 48 weeks out of the year...again brother, thank you for your great training 👍

2:00 A D are soooo awesome in special oops

👍👍

Can someone explain the 3 sight pictures portion and "Sight, sight, squeeze, squeeze, sight sight, squeeze, squeeze, realign, reset, realign reset, back to the ready, finger off the trigger" ???

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Better than Joe Rogan

Index, Index, Index....

Algorithm.

Teach a man to fish...

Self correcting 🤣

Going this long without clearing the field on entitlement programs. little late dude

I was watching your pistol fundamentals and RU-vid would not allow me to save it. I see gangbangers shooting the shite out of each other on youtube. Well not really because they never hit their target. Worst shooters ever. Still they won't allow me to save your video. Just doesn't make any sense
