I forever appreciate you encouraging people to consciously train with a timer rather than just dick around on the range and think they're improving. That's a trap we've all fallen down at one point.

- [01:03] 🎯 Training cycles: Balancing live fire and dry fire is crucial for effective training. Alternate between diagnosing weaknesses in live fire and working on them in dry fire, then confirm improvement in live fire. - [02:48] 🚀 Dry fire: Break down your movements and isolate areas of improvement in dry fire. Focus on troubleshooting specific problems rather than running full drills. - [07:13] 🔍 Key principles: Pay close attention to vision focus, trigger control at speed, and flinch response to improve shooting accuracy. - [12:28] 💡 Good practices: Consistency, experimentation, and diversification of drills are key for effective training. Follow through drills even if mistakes happen, and focus on mastering a few guns rather than shooting many.

The difference between screwing around and doing science is writing shit down. That said next range day need to bring a notebook. Ideally I'll just leave them in my case so I have it everytime I go to the range.

These principles remind me of the origins off kata in Okinawan karate. Kata were originally "dry fire" exercises for techniques. You practice kata on your own to get the motions down and condition, then you practice with friends and fellow practitioners to dial in your observations and learn more.

As an instructor, my philosophy os that I don't teach clients how to shoot, teach them how to train. Its critically important that they go away with the tools to self-improve and to choose appropriate training in the future. A huge problem today, is that no one wants to spend $300+ per day on fundamentals. They want the high-speed/low-drag operator sht that is wildly inappropriate.

This came right in time for me. I had to break off a long term friendship with a dude who’s fallen to far down the right wing rabbit hole. He happens to be literally one of the best up coming marksman in the US military, so his advice has been essential in my growth. I know I didn’t need to question his methods, but alas here I am. Thank you again, I know I can trust your expertise and motives.

Do you think that there is a way to continue the friendship without interjecting personal viewpoints? Maybe you can still hang out with the understanding that religion and politics are off the table. You should both be able to believe what you want and still be close.

I've recently been turned onto the idea of practicing a draw to double tap, with the intent to make sure you're actually getting a grip for follow-up shots on top of your draw. You basically just ignore the draw to fire drill and only focus on double taps.

I don't know if it counts as "wisdom" as much as "I did this and it worked for me (your results may vary)". Somehow I managed to pick up a flinch reaction while shooting 9mm a few months back. I don't know how or why, (especially after almost 40 years of shooting) but brains are weird and I suddenly found my shots consistently low and to the left. A "Surprise!!! Snap Cap!!!" drill (have a trusted person load your mag, they will randomly insert one or more snap caps into the mag along with ammo to test for flinching, it also works to practice a failure to fire situation) confirmed flinching was the case. Thing is, I WASN'T flinching in dryfire OR while testing my new .22 target pistol, so for the next couple of range trips I would START a range day warming up with that and then move to the 9mm. Even though they're not REMOTELY similar (a Ruger MK2 Government target with a 1lb5oz trigger, molded thumb rest grips, and target irons vs a stock PSA Dagger with a dot) it DID help overcome the flinch. Obviously if you're focused on defensive shooting drills where muscle memory is critical this could go against "don't fire TOO many guns" but at that point I was JUST doing slowfire with both, looking to train away from the flinch before resuming defensive drills and it worked. I think it would be even more effective in a 22 designed to mimic or come close to the larger caliber counterpart, like a Glock44 for other Glocks.

I think I need to find some kind of progressive baby step method to help me get better. As much as I respect Stoeger's stuff, there is too much info to absorb for someone who is starting at near-zero or in my case, trying to learn with a whole mess of bad habit baggage to unload. It's also a pain in the ass to try and self-coach at times and some of my buddies that are better shooters than they are teachers (or my brain can't learn from their specific teaching methods). I'm sure I'll sort it out one day.

The way I finally came to see it, live fire isn't just a confirmation of dry fire. Live fire is a battle between your body and your mind and the gun. If you know the fundamentals and have everything perfect, it's extremely common to psych yourself out. I stopped live fire training any closer than 20 yards except once a month or two. I can't see where my shots are hitting or if I "threw that one" so my previous shot doesn't psychologically affect my next shot. Typically I get perfect full circle patterns this way, I just try to improve the diameter of the circle pattern by strengthening grip or changing something in the way I'm firing. My muscle memory gets me most of the way there from my previous progress and I just try to find ways to make the full circle pattern smaller

@ergofoxxxy 5 ай бұрын

something that's also difficult is that most ranges will kick you out for shooting more than 1 round per second. it's stupid but they throw everyone into the same group. so your drills are going to hit a wall when they are at or surpass 1 shot per second

For me in Germany I try to train at home with "gas pistols" + silencer (blanks) or heavy GBB guns, as real steal is a bit compicated if you are not in a gun club. These are verry indoor ranges only and no outdoor challanges like in other countrys. At least I haven't find one yet. Unfortunately also many clubs are air guns only or small cal (.22) only, as germany calls everything else "big caliber".

If you don’t have any fun, you aren’t going to feel like doing it again as readily. Keep it fun. A fun group drill is to play the firearms equivalent of S.KA.T.E. Pretty hard to train for a drill that’s always intentionally unconventional and challenging. Be it shooting stance, shooting position, target presentation, etc.

Can you link a video showing your proficiency with a handgun or rifle? On paper with the timer, I'd like to see what a good baseline is for proficiency with both. If you have a couple of drills you prefer and why those would help develop our skills.

So I don't think I caught it but do you have a suggestion for a shot timer as I was already looking for one but haven't made a choice on what to get. Budget isn't too much of a problem as I am explicitly looking at it as a long term tool and investment to do better. As for keeping a focus on what guns I shoot, that is def a thing I'm going to be doing which is my carry pistol, my competition pistol, and my VHS-2 and G3, but not all in one day, only one or two of those each trip to really focus in on what I'm doing right or wrong. And bring more targets and tape to mark it up to really hone in on my control and repeatability.
