Adam Painchaud, Director of the SIG SAUER Academy in New Hampshire, discusses with Dave Miles two keys to pistol shooting success. Adam breaks shooting fundamentals down to their most simple form and explains that regardless of your objective or shooting discipline, two things always apply: muzzle management and trigger-finger discipline. This simple approach can help you get shots on targets accurately no matter what your skill level or objective may be. (NSSF Video)

Bwhahaha. I feel your pain but it's trigger time. I'll bet if you shot as often as he did, you'd be able to shoot as good as you wanted (Maybe not upside down cuz he's definitely practiced that shot, as he said, just to make the point he did). I used to go to the range 2-3 times a week, outing between 4-500 rnds a session and you wouldn't believe the progress you will make albeit expensive but that's when you start to reload. I unfortunately got out of shooting for about 15 yrs and don't go now as much as I'd like so you know where I am with my skills, they've deteriorated immensely. You've got to put the time in ...

He is a very good instructor because he does not overload the student with more than 2 or 3 items. Too many instructors try and teach all they know and do not positive reinforce their students. Most know a lot but have never been trained to coach. That makes them dangerous.

Enter the military. I grew up shooting rifles and handguns for recreation, even black powder since I was 8 years old. I never had an issue hitting the mark, at least not since I was about 12. Then I went into the military and our CADM instructors were like range Nazi's and made it a miserable experience. This guy is awesome.

I shoot a recurve bow, and some guy at a range was correcting my technique. He gave me like 15 different things to keep in mind while I shot. How the hell am I supposed to simultaneously keep track of 15 different things in a movement that takes 5 seconds?

@thomasmilner4732 9 лет назад

I have had the privilege of training at the Sig Sauer Academy, taking all of the basic Pistol Classes and progressing to the Semi-automatic Pistol Instructor course (taught by Stephen Gilcrest, who is an incredibly good instructor). It has changed the way I think and instruct, and made a substantial improvement in my shooting. Their mantra, "Simple Is Good" (SIG) makes an incredible amount of sense. By stressing the fundamentals but recognizing that every shooter has a different physique, center of gravity, skill level, etc., they maximize the opportunity for every student to improve. Their Certification tests are tough (50% pass rate, maybe), but passing one means that you understand the concepts and have mastered their application.

@sexyjuggalette420247 5 лет назад

My husband is more of an HK man but I got him carrying a SIG 1911 scorpion right now and he's loving it. SIG has been a real roller-coaster for us, he was trained heavily on the Beretta M9, then used Glock, somewhere down the line he was using the MK23 and realized the brilliance of HK, though he generally thought the pistol was too big with all the other gear he'd have to carry. What's really cool in this video is a lot of stuff said here is stuff he's taught me.

@jetjohnson1106 4 года назад

Man this guy is great. I just bought my first gun and have noticed that so many of these instructors have such a frantic, over-the-top personality that it’s disorienting.

5:02 "don't even worry about the rear sight..." Never heard that 1 before, but the man obviously has the credentials so I'm listenin'. I need lessons from this guy. I'm the perfect example of somebody who excels w/ a few simple concepts vs. 10 step by step instructions..

@rik4369 5 лет назад

theshipissinking no For 3 yards that is true, once you move back a little it will come into play. When your talking defensive shooting think 3 to 5 yards. You won't even have to use any site on an man size target. EDC carry shooters should learn and practice shooting from the point that the weapon clears the holster and is rotated towards the target. I wouldn't recommend this without training and supervision. I would bet most real world engagements don't even involve the use of sights. Take a look at RU-vid and watch women of the store robberies. Notice when the firing starts and the position the shooter is in. Most people seek cover then start to fire. Just my thoughts.

I took a training class with Adam Painchaud several years ago. He and his wife (they weren't married at the time) are amazing instructors. During the course, he was demonstrating shooting into a car and shot a smiley face into about a 2-3 inch imaginary square! It was pretty spectacular! Through this course, I learned to point shoot with one hand, shoot on the move, and shoot through the rear and front windshields of a car. It was an amazing class!!

@electrontube 8 лет назад

professional, task-oriented, outcomes-based instruction.

@diamondflaw 2 года назад

One of the things that he mentions that's important for me to remember is 1. look at where you want the round to go, 2. bring sights into alignment It's so much harder to get accurate results if you're fixated on the sights and trying to orient the target to them.

@karenbarger6642 6 лет назад

When I was a kid I used to go with my dad to the driving range...he would get me a bucket of balls to whack while he practiced on his bucket. By my teens, I would drive straight down the center every time; he was thrilled, and signed me up for lessons with the pro, so that I would add distance to my drives. After I learned about proper grip, stance, etc., my drives DID get much longer....and sliced severely and hooked severely, and I have never been able to get that grip and stance advice out of my head. I love that he says, DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. Best advice ever.

@brooklynlyfe1570 7 месяцев назад

Whoa... he said put your sight dot on what you want to hit. I was always instructed to not look at the sight dot, but to mainly focus on the top of the sight. Did i hear him right?

@fernandop1647 Год назад

Ive always considered the best upgrade for any weapon is the trigger. I believe this video-explanation validates that upgrade approach. Great instructor!

@rachelshelley4779 5 лет назад

Wish he had been my CADM instructor every time I had to go to the range. Of course, the military expects you do to everything just so, which makes it super frustrating when you have to implement new technique to qualify. This guy is great. My brother in law (Army Guard 12 years) taught me a great little trick. Try not to curl your finger around the trigger when you squeeze. Instead use the last half inch of your finger tip. Why? When the trigger is pulled with the whole finger (trigger on the middle knuckle) the muzzle tends to pull just slightly to the right at the end of the squeeze. So for anyone who may notice they're slightly off to the right of where you aim, consider using the tip of your finger to avoid the pull. Also, you may be gripping the gun too tight. Depending on the weight of the gun and the recoil, you might consider squeezing off a few shots with a slightly softer grip at the end of your breath. But if the whole finger works for you, keep doing it. As for me, I don't have much of an issue with pulling right, but I do shoot just as well with the tip of my finger. Happy shooting, Patriots!

@Podobed 3 года назад

I really like this instructor. His methods and words resonate with me and come across very genuine.

@MylesKillis 8 лет назад

Decide if you want a striker or hammer and get either a Sig P320 Carry or Sig p229, HK P30. Glocks are nice but they have a weird grip angle so you won't be able to pick up other guns and be instinctive. The P320 is a new modular weapon that somebody new would be well served investing in as a system. If you go hammer Sig or HK. I say Sig cause they have the best trigger of all hammer guns. HK has the best ergonomics in the business.

@vaeringard 8 лет назад

Hard to beat a good revolver or 1911 in my opinion. I would get a Sig 1911, either Scorpion, Nightmare, or Spartan. But that is my opinion. I personally own a .45 Springfield 1911-A1 Mil Spec. (love it!)

@FredCooper-en1sd Год назад

Makes perfect sense. What works for me with my P226 and P229 is hold the weapon in close to my chest, elbows down at a 45 degree angle and put the front sight on the target, level across with both eyes open. Keeping the weapon less than a foot from my chest makes it much easier to keep the muzzle on target for 2" groups at 7 yards all day long and 6" groups at 25 yds

@Defossion1 4 года назад

So many Tacticool "Experts" place too much emphasis on looking the part. Good beard, good sunglasses, and good gear. They focus on using the latest and greatest terminology. They say "press" the trigger, not "pull" or "squeeze" because those words aren't cool. (I always say "yank the trigger" because it reminds the shooter NOT to yank, and it drives "experts" insane!). They create a combination of complex processes to accomplish what this guy does in two easy steps: (1) Align the sights, and (2) Don't move your sights as you shoot. As he says: the rest is just mind games.

@waynegordon6385 2 года назад
