Chuck Pressburg On Shot Calling And Round Accountability In Training (NSFW Language)

[@ASPextra]

One of the biggest missions of this channel is to expose people to the teaching style of different instructors. I had a great time at Chuck's class, learned a good bit, had fun, but I also spent enough time in the military that a salty SNCO doesn't bother me none. Others have different experiences, and will like it more or less. I teach very differently than this as an instructor in terms of my approach to connecting with my students, but I value Chuck and know he is filling a role I don't. :)

[@MA-hc6mb]

That's one of the thing I love most about this; It's not just a big tube of 'this is how it's done', it's more of a reflective piece on different styles and what you can takeaway from each of them.

[@justinbranham7708]

I had about an hour and a half long conversation with Pressburg a few weeks ago. Standing around that kitchen island he took me to church. What I gleaned from our talk is that he cares, deeply. The situations are real, and the consequences are often swift and severe for getting it wrong. As dudes who carry everyday, we take on a debt to the people we are attempting to protect to be as sharp as humanly possible. Anything less is failure. There is no amount of money I would not pay to have that conversation with him again.

[@DWalter.27]

I could listen to Chuck all day. He has thought provoking perspectives. And despite personally choosing to not use those words myself, I spent some time working construction and those construction workers desensitized me to swear words ever since lol

[@marcuskennedy3331]

I can’t lie, I do jive with the scorched earth teaching style from a student standpoint. It’s probably a great experience to take a class from a living legend like Chuck.

[@jcfindley380]

Some students do. I am not personally a fan of the style as an instructor or a student. Many students, such as my wife, will completely tune it out.

[@marcuskennedy3331]

@@jcfindley380 definitely feel that. I’m not saying that it’s a great method or anything. Just that when I personally am in a class it can get me going. A well spoken calm instructor can usually do the job better though because they can teach more people with their style.

[@kylesanders8276]

I like and can handle both teaching methods for various reasons, but I'd understand if someone was put off

[@ASPextra]

Some love it, some don't. One of the priorities of mine on this channel is showing different styles so students know what kind of class they're getting when they sign up!

[@jcfindley380]

While I am in prison ANTIFA is going to burn my house down and my kids are going to F'ing burn alive! That is where I tuned out. Yes, I have had my share of instructors that used the fear, sarcasm and ridicule delivery method; mostly in the military. It IS good to know it is still alive and well out there. I make my living as an instructor and have learned as much from bad instructors as good. Most of that is how I DON'T want to do things and which instructors to avoid if I am taking a course. Still, the info is invaluable.

[@user60521123]

There are some great lessons in this video. I especially liked when he got real with the students about how important practice is, and how shooters delude themselves into thinking that they’ll be better when the real thing happens. It made me realize I need to be more dedicated to my practice schedule.

[@willr4880]

[@DWalter.27]

Chuck is a regular on the Primary and Secondary youtube channel if you're looking for more. Back in the day when he was still doing "can't show my face on the internet" stuff he was "Roland", as in the Roland special.

[@SpaceFrawg]

I've always enjoyed watching Chuck's long winded, colorful way of passing along information while watching him on YT but, I'm not so sure I would want to pay X-hundred dollars to have, what I can only imagine is, the majority of my class/range time ate up by giggling at his slick, super cool, story telling. I'm sure some people need to be verbally stunned before they'll start picking up what he's putting down, I just don't think I'm one of those people, he's a legend and I'm already hanging on every word... I don't need there to be so many unnecessary words taking up my limited training time.

[@peters303]

Straight talking with real life consequences for incompetence. No sugar candy coating explanation here 💪🏼🇺🇸

[@joshua3911]

I agree with the seriousness of accuracy, I love the video and the stress increase I’m sure it peeked in the trainees. Let’s be real careful the intent of the traveling bullet is to eliminate the threat. In the majority of shooting this accurately is more important than time, is correct, in an active mall/school shooter. That threat must be stopped immediately. The intent of the self-defense shooter should be guarded.

[@joshua3911]

Let’s not scare the man who could save lives, from taking the shot that will save lives and let’s back his actions. Yes this comment is generalized and subject to actual context of any shooting.

[@kylesanders8276]

12:55 Unless you're GarandThumb, then in that case always always shoot Macaulay Culkin because he's the mastermind holding Ron Jeremy hostage, and he needs to "leave Ron Jeremy alone!"

[@keres993]

This is exactly the kind of training that LEOs need - not only to improve accuracy, but also mindset. The golden days of qualified immunity are indeed coming to an end, and hopefully it'll be abolished entirely soon enough.

[@ASPextra]

Hopefully not. If police officers don't have qualified immunity I would recommend every cop on every force in the US resign immediately for the sake of their family. Most people don't know what QI is and continue to misrepresent it.

[@jameskozlowski5496]

Are you out of your mind? There would be a mass exodus of police walking away. Can't take that risk with your family's future. Marshal law wouldn't be far behind with the lawlessness you would see from whole departments clasping.

He's just bringing a dose of the seriousness of what we're doing here as defenders. Some ppl, like myself, would seek out this teaching style, and I also love the zen of a Brian Hill type. But I could understand being put off by this method.

[@ASPextra]

Take the class. :) He talks a good bit about it.

[@Slingerland1990]

Hello Y'all. I was looking for some d8 targets that have the white x-ring and the black rings that we see here on Chucks targets so I can try to simulate what a no fail class would be like. I did buy a bunch of other nra d8 targets with a black ring because thats what I could find. If anyone knows where I can find these I would appreciate it. My dot shows up better on a white background x-ring than a black one.

I would LOVE to take this class. I love the instructor’s way of explaining the shot-call, and his manner of teaching different levels of accuracy shooting. But for sure I have never read any news of anti-fascist activists burning down the houses of cops or anyone else. Show me an instance. Anti-fascists generally come out on the street to oppose and stand up to organized violent bigoted groups. Not always, but generally. I know this channel is also opposed to organized bigoted violence. Hmmmm…

[@smolkafilip]

In a different video he described this mental approach to a shot as "if you miss the black you will rupture a vat of sarin". I am pretty sure that it would be hard to find an instance of that happening in real life. Its not about what you have to tell yourself to make yourself care about getting that hit, its not about whether any particular example offends your political sensibilities, its about making that mental state happen. Dude is pointing at the moon and you are examining the finger.

[@brodyscarlett5527]

Personally, I very much dislike teachers like this, especially from the USPSA side. Yeah, everyone should know shot accountability for real life encounters, but the point of competition is to try and push yourself. Plus, yelling at your student isn't going to help their performance. Not an LEO though

[@ASPextra]

Different instructors reach people different ways. Remember that Chuck was SFOD tier 1, and those types tend to embrace this kind of culture. :) Not right or wrong, just different.

[@ianfinch7918]

In my experience, when it comes to professions where the consequence of failure is death, salty language and crude humor is the standard. I’m in the fire service in the United States. It’s imperative that we don’t forget, even when training, that a mistake or miscalculation on our part could lead to our death, our crew members death, or the death of someone’s loved one. It’s difficult to impress the weight of that upon someone without a few f bombs. I imagine that police and military are probably the same in that regard. I don’t know if it’s how I’m wired, or because of my previous training and instructors in the fire service, but this kind of teaching really resonates with me.

There is some great learnings here. I wish the instructor would not combine immature humor with enraged and heated worst case scenarios; it’s confusing and weird. Otherwise I liked it!
