Get Better At Shooting, Without Shooting! - How To Shoot Part 4

[@owenasmr.m2743]

It would’ve been hilarious if Lucas did one of his high-speed intros where he shoots and runs around- but he does it with a magless gun and dryfires the whole time

[@Osprey1994]

Why would it be hilarious? That would actually be incredibly advantageous in competitions, and it's why they don't even let you air gun at IDPA.

My wife bought me ITarget last Xmas and I love it. I have it in both .40 and 9mm. Aiming at a target is fine but knowing where the bullet will go when you pull the trigger is much better. Dry firing without the laser will help with acquiring the dot, but it also helps to know that when you press the trigger, you're not gonna pull low and left. You still have to put in the range time though to manage recoil. If only there was a dry fire way to simulate recoil!

[@daddoesthings9461]

Airsoft is pretty dang good

[@joekrichten9208]

Got to say this site is one of the best for all around knowledge from basics to tactical. I have watched all of these series and it was well worth the time and I finally bought a couple of your holster systems and the quality, fit and interchangeable options makes building a holster portfolio much easier. Thanks for your efforts.

[@mark11145]

Love this series. As a new shooter these are helping me immensely. I even feel like I am no longer miles behind my mates who have been shooting for years. It’s starting to edge into “reps will take me to where I want to be.” I have been dry firing, but now I can step it up. 👍

[@True_Patriotx]

Dry fire really helped me get better as well. I was doing it everyday for all of quarantine days and it greatly increased my shooting and reloading abilities both pistol and rifle.

[@jasondubois3399]

So funny that this video dropped literally while I was doing dry fire practice 😆 I have three targets around my apartment. One is the zeroing target that Trex sent me when I bought my AimPoint PRO a few years ago, the other is a 1x1 square of tape, and the last one is actually me. I’ll just stand in front of a mirror and practice shooting myself so that I’m accustomed to putting my sights on an actual human being.

[@Nathesium]

I really appreciate a series like this. I live in a place where firearms are mostly banned or heavily restricted, including magazine capacity. All I can do is dry fire or sometimes shoot bb rounds with my airsoft guns. But I still want to achieve a competent, if not high level skill in firearm manipulation, safety, accuracy, all that good stuff. Just in case I'm ever faced with a situation where I need to defend myself or those I care for, I'm not a danger to innocent people around me if I get a firearm in my hands. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge, Lucas!

[@ExecutiveTrainingGroup]

Brantley Is an amazing talent. Getting as good as he did as fast as he did is insane and a tetimate to dry fire great video!

[@Knight_of_the_Old_Code]

In addition to dry fire, I also bought dummy rounds to practice malfunction clearing drills for my rifles and pistols.

[@ethanmitchell3439]

I just use spent casings lol

[@Knight_of_the_Old_Code]

@ethanmitchell3439 Those work just fine, and their budget friendly! Lol

[@ethanmitchell3439]

Yeah, and they cause malfunctions if you load them up randomly with live ammo

[@chadillac95]

This has been one of the biggest helps for my transitions and reloads when running live ammo. Some of my friends went to the range with me to run some drills. I threw dummy rounds in their mags and they were impressed at how much it helps them

[@Knight_of_the_Old_Code]

@chadillac95 Glad to hear it! That's awesome!

[@rubythroat2258]

Our department is transitioning us to red dots - after tens of thousands of rounds with irons, I feel like I am having to go back to the basics a bit to find that dot quickly. Great video, great pointers!!

[@SlowSubie1]

man i love watching all the videos you guys put out. Every video is helping me become a better shoot and a more educated shooter and conceal carry individual. These videos seriously help me see what i should be doing and what i shouldn't be doing.

[@lesliegee42069]

Instructions unclear, I'm wearing skinny jeans now for some reason.

[@SplashOfOrange]

This came up while I was doing dryfire ... while watching basketball... and randomly thinking of ways to "react" to people/things on TV that I couldn't predict like " the next blue shirt" or "the next different person" or "the first person in the next transition".

I use a DryFire mag for the light switches in the house. It really helped get better with the dot. I use it almost every day, and it's only about 90 bucks. Nice to reset the trigger without racking the slide 50 times a day. The lasers seem wonky, and it seems like you'd focus on the bouncing laser like a video game.

[@molonlabe8126]

It's the fourth time I see this video. Thank you so much for all the free content you guve us, and I've also been very pleased with all the equipment I bought from T.Rex Armes. Thanks from France 🇨🇵

[@stephenfannin6482]

Please continue this series and bring on more SMEs, I started my journey thinking the only way is shooting a billion bullets but now I am realizing live fire should be used to vet your dry fire, maybe bring on Ben Stoeger for an episode

Yes, i have been dry firing religiously for at least 2 years(whenever you had laiku on the channel) will i may not he the tightest grouper, it has made me one of the fastest shooters i know. Target focus is the key.

[@Russianmafia10]

The coolfire barrel is pretty cool for dry fire, the recoil isn't the same but it resets the trigger and it's the closest thing you can get to be able to train at home

The mirror dry fire draw at the end is a great idea

[@Katana_Gryphon]

Speaking of dry fire gadgets, how do you guys feel about the Dry Fire Mag? Resets the striker so you don’t have to rack the slide every time?

[@tbabajan]

Going with the money saving aspect I bought an Advantage Arms .22L conversion kit for my 26. It cost me $280 and I’ve saved welllll over that much in ammo. I can now shoot a couple hundred rounds for a fraction of the price. Working draw, grip, target transition, everything. Then run a few mags of 9mil to get the recoil impulse right and I’m good to go.

[@coreymerrill3257]

For dry fire practice ,something rarely spoken about these days is " balancing the dime" . Balance a dime on the slide near the muzzle and learning how to pull the trigger without the coin falling .

[@Osprey1994]

It's an old technique, and honestly it's not that difficult. If you are using a red dot, the dot will give you all the feedback you need. More importantly, people tend to game the coin drill by prepping the trigger. The important thing, is being able to from off the trigger, to breaking the shot with one trigger pull and without having to prep to the wall.

[@jeremyxman]

Great intro to dry fire video. Thank you. Could you guys do a detailed video on correct target transitions? Body mechanics of the movement, what parts of your body are you moving to transition. Shot cadence and movement speed from target to target, specifically with multiple targets at different ranges.

[@FuzionTR]

Great info as always, that draw and reload vs Lucas by Brantley tho

[@Literaltile]

Better tip for noise on the shot timer, a cheap orange foam ear pro piece fits perfectly into the hole

[@TheAxe4Ever]

I got considerably better with grip, trigger pull, target ransistions, efficient draws from concealment, single hand draws, getting the dot on target, gun handling skills, reloads etc. using just dry fire. I still dry fire practice all the time.

[@Dugout97]

Plus, this training up by adding differnet types of weapons to the targets. Mix in unarmed targets with armed targets that in various stages of threat levels. In OTC guys have been dropped for shooting unarmed targets due to training scars. If you're going to train this make it even more valuable and the effort will pay off in the chaos.

[@killacamfoo]

Idk about shitting on mantis. Def helped during COVID when 9mm was over 50cpr. A dryfiremag also helps get past the first good trigger pull and subsequent follow on shots a lot of people struggle with from only firing one shot then racking the slide in dry fire.

[@wtdconcepts]

Good video! FYI sticky notes make good dryfire targets because they are small and repositionable. Also there are Par Timer apps on the app store that are way cheaper and more convenient than a shot timer in regards to dryfire (I'd argue you still need a real shot timer though).

[@920WASHBURN]

Also be deliberate when you're first practicing the draw. Very deliberate to build those neuro pathways. Then start speeding up. You can look too. Look at what you're doing to build the perfect consistent grip

[@imtherealjoeyd]

I really like this guy! Great addition to the team.. the others.. not so much.

[@swift__]

That’s a nice home gym ✅✅ ( post it notes are good for small targets at home )

[@charlesl5226]

I started using PAR PRO on iPhone and noticed more speed over just a few weeks. Always working on everything els but been chasing getting to a 1sec appendix draw and fire.

[@SandW6384]

A laser cartridge can be helpful from the aspect of seeing where your shots are going while being focused on the target, I get the concept of the practice, but the laser cartridge is a good indication of your shots on target.

[@matthewmorgan7225]

Love the video!! The mantis x3 does (as you put it) spit out too much info that may or may not be useful depending on how you use it. I've found it highly beneficial as a shot timer at indoor ranges as it only records your shots.

[@ThePewski]

Here's a fun little piece of suggestions, Airsoft. I know, I said it. Tape up those card boxes you gun parts come, tape them to the walls as targets. When you hit your targets then the boxes will capture your BB's. Your welcome.

[@rajinbin]

I'm going back over the entire series on shooting because I just now after years of shooting finally got the grip down. I think you need to emphasize the grip and pressure. That was something I just didn't understand until an instructor put his hand over mine as a support hand and squeezed. I didn't understand how much pressure he was putting in or I should've been putting in to hold the gun, then locking the wrist out.
