The Fundamentals of Marksmanship 

“Line up these while squeezing this without disturbing that”…so simple yet so freaking difficult

Line up these things, squeeze this, without disturbing those. That's all there is to it. 🤣

Marksmanship complexity, simplified but still fundamentally elusive for the masses. Great video!

Badassery 101 Sign Me Up! How Pat MAC Breaks Down The Fundamentals, Is Genius.

I remember this talk well, great to have a refresher.

Still one of the best classes I took. It changed how I shot and thought about shooting. Strong work Pat.

Shooting pistols at high levels of competency maybe easily explained but the act of is anything but easy, Pat Mac is one of the best instructors teaching it and I love to hear and see him do his thing! A true legend!

I could watch pat mac educational videos all day.

Clear concise and brilliantly presented

“Check your work”. What a gold nugget! Thanks man.

Tier 3: Applying the basics Tier 2: Mastering the basics Tier 1: Perfecting the basics👍

Grip is the master. Sights set the pace. Trigger is the servant.

Wisdom from a wise man.

I needed this today. Better lesson in two minutes than some guys do in an hour!

No nonsense training. Basic dude stuff. 💪🏻

So simple a smooth brain can do it. Great tips Pat!

Longtime subscriber and just want to thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and everything else that you do!

Marksmanship is simple, not easy. I like the way he puts it here.

Instructing was one of those things I realized I really loved, and Pat is a great instructor.

Great content again, less is more. “Sight alignment and trigger control.” I need to find some of your grip demos though…

They say you can tell ones level of mastery on any given topic by how few words they use to explain it completely. Or how simply

Really good way of thinking to have +1 sight pictures.

Straightforward and to the point. Really great teaching!

He has such a mastery of the material it is astounding. Like watching a swordsman.

Great tips as always brother, thank you for this content! The point about the speed limit is going to be super helpful during my next training sessions. Rock on!

Thank you Pat.

This man is a living legend. He needs his own TV network

Damn I need to spend a weekend in one of Mac's classes.

pat mac modern day hero. keep fanning those embers masculinity making a comeback.

Great stuff good soul…..get after it patriots!

Yes, and yes. Repetition, doing it correctly, is important.

God bless Pat Mac.

Pat, you are the man..wish I could afford your course..

Very simply and well presented shooters will retain

Can’t wait to go back through this in March.

Thank Pat

Gold. Thanks dad

Great instructions

Thanks again.

Another great video!!

Going to be traveling out east for work. I would absolutely love to learn from this man. And witness some BASIC DUDE STUFF in person 🤣

Basic dude stuff. Great 👍🏼 video Mac.

I love all your videos but other than basic dude stuff these are my favorite. Can we get more range videos please sir?

I need a basic course like you provide. Something tells me that the basic course I took where they went over "don't do stupid things" was not enough and I need something more

Outstanding

simple sage wisdom

Thank you sir

Most important things.... SIGHT ALIGNMENT AND TRIGGER CONTROL!

Fundamentals. AKA “Basic Gun Stuff.” 👊🏽 🏴‍☠️

Just because it is simple does NOT mean it is easy.

Still working on my trigger control bro… the payoff has been damn near miraculous! Especially with pistolas

People want to believe that marksmanship is "MAGIC".....it's actually VERY simple. Do the exact same thing, EVERY SINGLE TIME. But, as Pat said, easier said than done. Pat reminds me of someone I knew a while ago.....Robert/Bob Irby......the more I hear from Pat, the more he reminds me of Bob.

Pull this without disturbing these. That's all there is to it. It really is.

Fun-da-mentals. Getchusum.

"listen, learn, do". the basics are the most difficult to apply when broken down

Good stuff

Faken it! Can you imagine being a E3 and he’s talking like that at the range ?

When I was BMQ (Canada's basic training), we were taught: Position and hold should be firm enough to support the weapon without undue physical effort Sight picture and alignment must be correct Weapon must point naturally at the target without any undue physical effort Shot should be released and followed through It's been 10 years since and I probably butchered some of that but do you think any of those marksmanship principles are outdated or does it all have relevancy still?

BADASSERY SUA SPONTE RANGERS LEAD THE WAY

With sight alignment being the number one issue, wouldn’t a red dot isolate it to just trigger control? Red dot is the way to go imho.

We are given 2 ears and 1 mouth. Use what we have the most of.

We are the indig. Pay attention.

Please do one on safety. Pat Mac Flavour

Man I'd really love to sign up for one of these courses and travel down, but they all seem to be on Saturdays (Observant Jewish, Orthodox) :(

As an instructor...pretty rad to hear you tell your people pretty much, verbatim what I tell mine. Thank you for everything brother. CQT Weaponsystems- Dutch #presschecksarefree

Funda-mentals! Thats all there is to it....

Ronin learns from Pat.

Imagine interrupting this guy while hes trying to explain something to you..

Passing on knowledge. Basic dude stuff

FULCRUM 👍😎

👍

I don’t understand the site picture

Simplify Simplify Simplify.

Hot damn... I wanna go so bad... one day!

But if you practice shot calling, you should only have one sight picture, right?

You part of the Carolina Redoubters?

Just like that, booom! Apprecciating PatMac's vids is basic dudes stuff hah

👍👍

Good content brother but, checking your work through your sights is done during the shot, not after. i.e. knowing what your sight did during the shot. Did it go low and left or did it rise to the 12 o'clock then present back on target re-aligned and ready to go for a follow up shot. Was it on target when the shot broke or did your foot hit a hole in the ground while moving and move your sights off target as the shot was being fired? Checking your work through your sights is the only way you can accurately call your shot. Follow through is making sure you stay on sights and trigger if there needs to another shot. Just like you said. If one shot is fired there will be two sight pictures. If 6 shots, there will be 7 sight pictures. Food for thought. Or not. Stay safe.

With the proliferation of the internet and "guntubers", it baffles me that ANYONE would attend a PatMac course and still be using the cup-n-saucer or (God forbid) the thumbs behind the slide grip. Not knocking them, necessarily, they obviously took the course and got it corrected.... But how could you not know???? 🤔

Cup and saucer? Technique from 40+ years ago?

Basic dude stuff..
