I’m going to recommend these videos to my friends now, I just found your channel. It’s very important to have these informative videos.

Something I learned in roller derby: if you want to move laterally explosively and precisely, get your center of gravity lower-gives you a lot more stability and gives your feet more reach

Excellent overview, thank you for putting this together!

Being in marching band back in school gave me a good foundation for this. We would have to move in all directions (forward, backwards, laterally, diagonally) all with our upper bodies pointed towards the stands AND stable enough to keep time and play our instrument. The pace of movement constantly changed too from slow crawls just a few meters over several bars to a quick 20 yard transition to a new formation in just a handful of beats. Restaurant and bar work helped too. Moving through crowded rooms with trays of drinks and food while staying aware and anticipating how others might move into me. All of that while navigating different floor surfaces, stairs, tables, chairs, doors, and corners. Learning to feel how you're distributing weight between and across your feet is really helpful (not just left to right foot but also heel to toe, big toe to little toe, etc on each foot). Shorter steps while rolling from heel to toe (or toe to heel if moving backwards) helps keep your center of balance stable and makes it easier to change direction on a dime and recover better from stumbles without falling. A lot of that happens just by bending you knees and lowering your weight like you suggested but building an intuitive awareness of where your balance is and how far out you can extend it with different movements without losing stability takes repetition. I think a good exercise would be moving in squares and diagonals (forward and backwards) while holding a weight extended in front of you with it and your torso pointed toward a fixed target is a good way to program the fundamentals into your body. You can up level that by varying how quickly you move between points and also by changing terrain (flat floor, wet lawn, uneven rocky field, muddy field, sandy beach, up/down hill, whatever you can access).

Super underrated video. Thank you for putting the information out there, even if it isn't getting the views it deserves

Bar hop is typically done by shooting target 1 then 2 then 1 then 2. Don’t shoot the same target twice without a transition. I know this because I took a class with a national champ and I was doing it like in this vid and he made me change so I would be doing like in Stoeger’s vids 😂. Of course it’s just a drill, so you can do it however you want and whichever way you feel is helping you get gains. Great video. Really like this content

00:36 🦵 Good footwork involves moving and shooting at the same time while maintaining a steady sight picture. 01:03 🏃‍♂️ Keeping knees bent and relaxed helps with dynamic movement and stability. 02:01 🎯 Focus on shooting rather than timing movements with your feet; aim for subconscious movement. 03:02 🚰 Use a water bottle to practice smooth, steady movement by keeping the water level as you move. 04:03 🎯 Maintaining target focus is crucial; avoid letting the reticle dictate your shooting accuracy. 05:06 🛠️ For drills, you'll need a shot timer, two targets, a spare target stand, and a visual dividing line. 06:21 📏 Lateral bar hop drill: Engage targets while moving laterally over a dividing line; focus on smooth transitions. 09:27 ⛔ Avoid excessive bouncing or jerky movements; crossing your legs can help maintain a steady sight picture. 11:22 ⏱️ Track accuracy and time; refine movement based on where your sight picture starts to wobble. 13:30 🚶‍♂️ Forward bar hop drill: Practice walking forward while transitioning between targets, starting with either foot. 14:01 ⚖️ Test different weapon platforms and sighting systems; the physical handling impacts movement and accuracy. 15:52 🚧 Barrier drill: Engage targets while moving around a visual barrier to improve coordination and timing.

When moving laterally, please be careful if you cross your legs. I was told several years ago not to do this by Louie Awerbuck (R.I.P.) 😢 of Gunsite. These days, some do it when competing.

I've been really glad to see this channel's focus in the last few months on training over gear. I think the left in particular is years behind when it comes to practical shooting techniques, and I appreciate you working to bring it back into the present. Suffer not a redfudd to live!

@greenjello 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, I kept wondering which was better... foot-to-foot shuffle (seems more stable) or step-over (seems like a good way to possibly get tripped up). But I do notice that dip if I do the shuffle, especially with wider steps. Cool idea about the water bottle. Will have to try that out. Thanks for this video!

As a long time martial art practitioner I assure you it's very possible to move in any direction without bobbing up and down and without crossing your steps; but it's absolutely not easy and it will take years of constant practice. Crossing your feet is way easyer.

To practice a steady grip when walking we had to use our cups filled with water, that had a a ml scale on the inside and with the arms extended, if we'd loose more than X we had to do push ups and repeat; bend the knees and lean a bit forward, "wasn't that hard" on even terrain/in doors, but it did helped a lot the more that we did it even in our free time. Be aware and count with the inercy and the terrain reaction was also something to practice, the footwear was important here too.

When I did MA, I found that spending a lot of time in crane stance really helped my balance. Googling images of "kung fu crane stance" will give examples, I don't think arm position is especially important. Hanging out in crane stance watching TV or at a standing desk is an easy way to develop the strength to maintain balance. The other thing that helped was spending some mental focus on my center of gravity, visualizing a ball or sphere in my lower belly that everything moved around. It's simple physics and neuromuscular control to focus on that point for the interplay of gravity, weight and the sudden shifts of impacts.

Are there breathing drills that you would recommend for shoot and move exercises?

@TacticoolGirlfriend 5 ай бұрын

Not really, I just breathe and shoot, and if I'm really focused on making a longer shot where that matters, I'll simply hold breath or exhale while standing still.

Tacticool gf are you self taught or have you taken some classes now and again? And what camo do you find is most aesthetically pleasing?

@TacticoolGirlfriend 5 ай бұрын

No one is really self-taught. That said, I've learned a lot from peers and friends who I'm lucky enough to be able to learn from, in classes/clinics they've taught along with interpersonal range time together. But I've found reading books by the likes of Ben Stoeger have been really helpful too. My fav camo is M90.
