@@joshmajor8662 That's a lot of us. There's no way to do that kind of practice live fire around here. There was, but it closed down when houses started popping up and complaining.
Loved the video. What distance were these practice sessions? I see many drills but none really seem to let the audience know the distance. What do you feel is a good distance to start these drills. Thank you so much for your videos.
A set of indoor range drills would be very much appreciated. Most of the ranges near me are indoor and I could never try anything close to these drills. Very strict rules, only use one mag, use ammo bought at the range or have all your rounds inspected by the range master (this can take time as they visually inspect each round), etc. All the outdoor places near me are more expensive because they allow smooth bore shotguns to be fired on the range. Anyway, thanks for the tips. I'll add these to my practice regimen.
On the last drill wouldn’t it be better to have the gun lock back when changing mags? I would think that would happen most of the time in a real shooting incident? Or is this mostly for comp training?
I like the movement drill and will use it for sure. Also practicing for pure accuracy/bullseye is something I never do any more and would be good to add to the mix
I know that this is a smith video. But I have a springfiled xdm elite 5.35 inch barrel for competition shooting. That's something that I would like to get into. Thanks for the pointers.
I have to say this was a nice video of training. I will share to my wife too. She is never on shooting and i am trying to get her more comfortable with pistols. She knows that safety is the first always. Few good drills. Her riffle sniping skills are great. She likes .357 magnum and 9 mm Glock with Timney trigger and holo sights. Those are literally two different things but she would like train more handling and safe drills. I will show her this.
So the reload is not on an empty gun in slide lock, correct? Why would I practice this? In a "situation" I would forget to drop the slide because it is not part of my practice. 🤔 Not sure I understand the purpose of the drill.
Don't know if you remember me me but we emailed a lil a few years back and you were one of the main reasons I got into this at an advanced age. I feel at 69 I am reaching the best I can do. Physically I can't push too hard at practice or I wear something out. These drills are perfect for me on a day my energy level might be low. One day I am still going to meet you to thank you for the inspiration you have been to me. Bill down at universal shooting academy.
And your inspiration too me Sir , I'm 59 going on 75 I'm all bolted together , I only shoot at an indoor range for now , but I got some target stuff for going out to the desert soon it will be cool enough too do so . Steady going Buddy .
Hey Howdy JULIE !!!!! So Happy to Find You again ….. I Quit FB and SOOOO Missed Seeing YOU !!!!!!! Hope You’re Health has returned as I’ve Prayed for You despite leaving FB. GOD Bless You and Thank You for helping Me! Respectfully, Brian 💕✨🙏🏻💫
Awesome video!! You look great!!! Very informative, love the top 5, the why's of this one, the why's of that one, very easy to understand, you explain so well, then you show us. Great video Ms Julie!!! ❤️
Ma'am. That was an awesome video instruction. You are very easy on the eyes, and speaking of eyes. Tactically, I noticed that each time you reloaded on the last section of shooting, you took your eyes off the target and focused on watching your mag go back into your weapon. I know it's a paper target and won't move, thought you might want to mention tactically, that there is the option for real life shooting defensive situations. Tks so much,
Go watch Mojos newest video. He specifically talks about how the “don’t take your eyes off the target during a reload” is nonsense. Just cause you focus on something in the foreground doesn’t mean you can’t see what’s going on in the background. It’s just dated thinking
