I like the holster. I remember my dad always having the SF insignia on his beret and I always thought De Oppresso Liber was a cool motto. Thank you for your service. My father retired at 29 years and was SF the majority of it and I’m lucky to have had a teacher like him.
@G Soap pretty sure lucas hosts training classes and definitely has shooting experience in comp what are you talking about lmao. (I get the fact he comes off as a tool but he is knowledgeable.)
Possibly because extremely dangerous information in this video could get someone hurt! He is teaching civilians to draw with their finger on the trigger as soon as they clear the holster. This is absolutely not the way to draw your weapon other than a combat zone while surrounded by the enemy. Your finger remains outside of the trigger guard while drawing and until you have acquired a target.
Thanks Tim, adding ooda loop to dry fire was a great tip that I never thought of. Definitely practicing deciding to act while watching an action movie tonight 👊
The entire video is great, but I really like the idea about using your assisting hand to do the majority of the holding of the gun and your main hand to just actuate the trigger.
You also have to train presenting the gun from lying on your bed wherever you conceal it at night, because that will be the most probable scenario you will use it at home
Studied Boyds OODA loop as a civilian. As a fire fighter I try training Incident Commanders to the concept as it applies to the fire service. Boyd was one smart cookie.
You talked about your team in a firefight when you’re not there and family being harmed in a different video I was 3/75 B CO and still contracting with DOS. I thought I was the only one the had the nightmares about the family deal. I thank you for all you do. RLTW.
Tim, do you often experience yourself losing grip when shooting more than 2-3 rounds in the same drill and it affecting your grouping? Should I quickly readjust my hands and continue a drill or reset the drill? Thinking real world, I can't say it's useful to just start over since a bad guy won't stop for you to fully reset just to get a better grip. You would have to fix it fast and continue firing as needed.
First time I entered a shoot house, was to rebuild all the walls because the previous weekend was our local police force training with automatic rifles. I guess the tunnel vision that Tim speaks of they must have had also.
I don't like dry firing my gun..but i do like the glock bb gun..its practically a 19..safe place in the basement and you can train till the cows come home..or untill you run out of co2...
The look in your face while you draw makes me want to be a better shooter. You’re one of the best people in the world and I’m glad I can learn from you.
If the goal here is to shave time of our shoot for competitin then all of this is perfect. However, if the idea is to train for a real scenario then no. The approach would be so different. We're not concerned about style points. There's so much more going on...more so if we have a family and 2 dogs. And assuming we manage to call 911 and get all our family to one save spot we're waiting f or the intruders...if they haven't already surrounded us, taken a family member hostage...etc.
Can I ask u one question that no one has a answer to . I am left eye Dominit , blind in my right eye . New gun owner how do I adjust to aim with my left eye right handed ty bill
I’m pretty sure that Hickok45 shoots right handed and uses his left eye. On his RU-vid picture, you can see him holding the rifle right handed and sighting with his left eye. He also mentioned it a couple of times in some vids. I know that you’ll get it with practice. Best of luck.
I've always ran drills in every home I've lived in, implementing different scenarios to clear. There should never be another man alive that can clear your own home like you can. Especially in the dark. Drill everything.
Been dry firing a TON with this Covid shenanigans going down. Cracked me up when he mentioned the TV thing. I 100% do that. Wife absolutely loves it. NOT.
I remember you from “Ultimate Soldier Challenge”, when you and your partner absolutely destroyed the competition. Your gun skills as an operator is legendary. Thanks for this.
his elbows are locked straight, that puts the recoil in his upper body, his elbows should be bent so they act like shock absorbers, your elbows take the recoil not your body
I love this video. My martial arts instructor once told me “Practice makes permanent. Take the time to get it correct because that will become your muscle memory.” Thank you for making this!
Hahahahah took me a few minutes to realize that it's Tim Kennedy. I was like that dude looks awful familiar. Is that Tim Kennedy? nah couldn't be.. Wait it is!!!! Instant subscription right here!!!
Tim...if you do present with the incorrect tea cup grip, what would you do in a live situation? How is the correction made without you being taken out by a bad guy. Thanks. OSS
Using movies/tv shows to practice OODA loop is genius! Thats a hell of a pile of simulation material at your finger tips. Shit just Law and Order and its spin offs you could get lots of use. "Who is this person? Where are their hands? GUN GUN GUN!" run your dry fire drill and then AAR/mental recap. What did that person do before they became a threat that you caught and what did you not catch? I'm gonna start doing this. I've got plenty of time during lockdown.
4 cardinal rules to handling a gun, awesome fundamentals, great 4 step draw, OODA loop. all in 17 minutes. I am a new sub to sheepdog response, but liking what I see.
good video. I run a carpentry business, and sadly training info in the trades sucks. To my knowledge, there is not a single video available on dry firing a nail gun. Allot of materials would be saved, and injuries would be prevented if we had this kind of training info.
I love how he's clearly not trying to look fast like some people. Literally SLOW IS SMOOTH SMOOTH IS FAST. Some people go through step 1 step 2 step etc. REALLY FAST. Tim's style is like mine, a single action smooth and collected. The martial art of Kuntao is the same. One continuous motion with maybe 30 strikes. But if you do like Tim did, maybe you wont toss your gun to your assailant if it slips from your draw.
I used to be a barber and cut your hair. I asked you what your favorite gun was and you said Ed Brown 1911. I asked you who your toughest fight was and you said Jacare Souza. Well I went to get an Ed Brown but walked out with a WC instead and I’m still looking for Jacare. You were extremely humble. Thanks for the story I’ll be telling my kids.
You should practice your trigger discipline when you draw. Finger is already on the trigger before you have outstretched your arms and your sites are on target.
I find that when I use any strength with my left hand my shots go low and left consistently. With one hand I’m better and I’m not sure why. I’m new obviously.
So think of the left hand as a counter to pulling the trigger. If you squeeze the trigger it will often cause you to pull low and left because your right wrist curls inward and the left hand is not applying correct pressure. Thumb forward, top of wrist flat and pushing up to the right. If you just hold tight and not apply counter pressure in the angle that is up and to the right it will still hit low left mainly with follow up shots. This pistol explosion will mask the movement. It's going up so how in earth does it shoot low? Because in follow up shots you curl the gun inward when squeezing trigger due to left hand not countering. Exhaling out and making sure to not flinch also. That flinch can be tiny and will fling shots way off.
No he didn't , he said people under 18 shouldn't have Ar-15s and they say he said that he said "Gun control is a massive solution" he later clarified he is pro 2a for all law-abiding citizens, he doesn't think people under 18 should have guns, not that he want's it illegal for them to have them, he is still pro 2a, he thinks civilians should have access to all guns.
Lidard Gaming, thanks for clarifying. I’ve just heard blurbs here and there. However, it’s illegal for anybody under the age of 18 to have an AR-15 anyway. Their parents can own the firearms and allow access to their children, but you (we) have to be 18 to buy a long gun or 21 to buy a handgun in most states. So I don’t understand that statement as much, and also the reasoning behind specifically naming the AR platform. I’m not trying to start fights/rumors; Im just curious as to his rationale and reasoning behind his statements, especially when he claims that he’s pro 2A.
dknollRX7 all four of my children were proficient on an AR15 before the age of 16. If a parent is reasonable and has the environment to teach their children about guns and gun safety it is always a positive. His remarks about an AR specifically is troublesome as that is a major talking point of anti gunners right now. I’m reminded by my elders that just over 65 years ago, kids brought their shot guns to school (sometimes on the bus) so they could squirrel hunt on their walk home. In the 1970’s, my high school parking lot would have had a few pick up trucks with rifle racks adorning the back glass. Somehow, we lived in much safer society back then.
I love when the girls leave for the day when I'm off work.. that means its drill time!! My dog may think I'm crazy but I gotta get the training in somehow ;)
Tim..NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE!!..With all your experience have you everrrrrr heard of an instructor switching somones shooting hand and draw without EVER seeing them shoot or drill? Feel free to contact me privately if i need. Thanks brother
Did I see that, Tim Kennedy US ARMY Special Forces, does NOT carry his weapon in a holster, on his belt but in a Fanny Pack, with NO round in the chamber??? WTF!!
He is very good with all the skills. And that comes from a professional sniper here . Every time someone good try to explain anything, the haters gonna show 🆙 to find mistakes and to throw all they insecurities around, specially when we can’t see them like the internet.
Dude, if you were training someone to punch, you’d drive them to punch faster and faster, harder and harder, more and more fluidly. Not repeat repetitions over and over in slow motion and with halting movements. So WHY on earth are you demonstrating draws in slow halting motions that over and over?!? THAT’s the muscle memory you are programming. And THAT’s the movement that will come out under stress… slow, halting motions!
