Thank you so much for the credit! Confirmation levels were first introduced back in 2019 through Confirmation drill. I am glad people expanding this more and more.😁

[@SpecTrain]

Appreciate it sir! You definitely helped the community articulate this concept way more effectively than I saw being done previously.

Love the video thanks ...Respectfully perhaps consider " Seeing what you need to see" in Practical Shooting Brian Enos 2012 pg 77 description of shooting types might be the original

[@saradamsmc]

Somebody needed to finally explain this in a straightforward way. I hear it a lot and have kind of pieced together what it means but nobody had laid it out clearly and explained it in a digestible manner. Thank you so much!!

[@madisonberg627]

THANK YOU FOR THIS VERBIAGE! I was just talking to my friend about this, but didn’t have the right words to properly portray and explain this. Thank you!

[@JustinV911]

The education here is top tier. Thank you for another video ! Well put together and explained in detail

[@Anonusermf]

Best explanation on KZbin!!!!

[@a.l.newsome7395]

Extremely good video and full with rich content. I need to sit down with a notebook and watch it over few extra times. Thanks 🙏🏿 👍🏾👏🏾

[@Osprey1994]

Confirmation levels has been something I have been looking into. Ben Stoeger/Hwansik Kim turned me onto it.

[@dustinshaw2419]

This channel is way underrated! Im glad I found your content. thanks for the tips.

[@charlesreeves3426]

As always, Excellent information. Thank you.

[@tbenson5966]

This is a very good video

[@keithholcomb8808]

First class and best in class. Thank you.

[@brennanbrennecke3323]

ooh cool. I have a video on this coming as well. learning about this idea changed the game for me.

[@KP-Pro2A]

Glad to see your fresh video. Really love your content.

[@fortitudeconsulting]

Solid breakdown!! This concept was a game changer when I attended Level Up Pistol. 👌🏼

[@SpecTrain]

Preciate it bro!

[@42ATK]

Hey man I've been watching a bunch of different videos you've been posting and they've been great. You've done a solid job teaching!

[@jimcatpsu]

Excellent explaination. I am new to this and, having watched many similar videos, I find that you are a very good instructor. Keep it up. If I lived closer I would definitely take one of your classes.

[@williamreyes44]

Thank you, going to try this tomorrow. I really like the way you teach.

[@JayMacklin]

Great explanation!

[@IkeStarnes40]

BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM!

[@hopewilliams6705]

There are two kinds of shooters that I see rabbits and turtles and I'm a turtle up close but I'm working hard on seeing the flash of Red

[@mco8061]

Well articulated instruction, as usual. Thank you 👍🏽 Are those hunter HD lenses in your Oakleys? How can e regular Joe like myself get a pair of those?

[@SpecTrain]

Preciate it man. And yes to the hunters hd gold, they offer custom lenses, just hit them up for details.

[@shootlog6690]

thank you for articulating the levels! wonderful video. may I clarify if you mean use levels 1, 2, or 3 based on the difficulty of the shot and my individual skill level? i find that at this point, i need to work on my grip and tracking of the dot (which in a target i overshoot) more importantly, that speed monkey i need to get off my shoulders! thank you once again!

[@uncleB1972]

Thank you very much for all the great videos and instruction. What R U using for hearing protection? Thanks

[@SpecTrain]

Think I'll make this the next video...

[@apodbielski913]

Do you find the PDP actually requires slowing down cadence a touch vs other pistols?

[@SpecTrain]

As a quick disclaimer I haven't spent a ton of time with guns, fully experimented with all the different springs/guide rods etc. But every time I shoot one my impression is yes, it does take measurably longer to return. For most folks they won't see any issue with that, but if the splits get fast enough I think it is.

[@musicman1eanda]

Seems like you define confirmation 1 differently than Stoeger? I believe Stoeger defines level 1 as when your arms are indexed without visual confirmation from the sight?

[@SpecTrain]

Like I said I know multiple different well known instructors using this terminology but teaching the specifics differently. What this should tell you is to experiment with what makes the most sense to you given your context, skills and equipment. Regardless of the exact definition of confirmation 1 I'm certain Ben and probably @hwansikcjswo would disagree with my inclusion of trigger prep along with the aiming schemes. But I see a big pay-off for me in how easy it is to be accurate at speed with the triggers I'm running, and I generally see this for my students as well, so that's how a articulate it. Using a predictive index to time the first shot on a draw or transition is certainly a technique. I would call that confirmation 0 since you really aren't using any confirmation at all. I don't even mention this here however because I don't see the application in practical shooting. If I can claim world class expertise in anything it's probably super fast predictive shooting on close targets. So am I using a predictive first shot when I'm trying to win the nationals bill drill comp? 100%. But I don't ever do that in a match. You are saving about .15, and pretty strongly risking a charlie outside of 5 yards. The HF has to be over 13 for that math to even break even, and even higher to be worth it.
