The great thing about Lena is she doesn't have a lot of weight or super huge muscles, so everything she does is all about technique. She is also an excellent teacher!

[@mnyee1995]

What a great teacher. She really knows her stuffs and more importantly knows how to transfer the knowledge to the audience. Natural teacher.

[@dinein1970]

I'm a newer weapon owner and have found fantastic value from Lena and her Dad's vids.

[@johnmpifer]

Impressed with not only your skills, but your ability to teach! Thank you for the video!

[@Pauliwog3]

Possibly the best video I've seen on recoil management.

[@raulthepig5821]

That shotgun looks larger than Lena. Wow she can can manage that shotgun! I'm very impressed.

[@blueequine572]

OH YEAH

[@mr.nobody68]

Weighs more than her, too. She's a little little thing. Probably all of 5 foot nothing, 105lb

[@cknight3898]

What kind of shotgun is that?

[@the5seasons947]

lena!!! such a good instructor and speaker

[@VikingVic76]

Always something to learn from Lena! Great teacher & shooter.

[@zato6226]

That's why it's best to learn from a woman. Men can use brute strength and get away with it without using proper technique. Women don't have the same luxury. They have to use proper technique to accomplish the same thing. Plus Lena is a damn good teacher. Very thorough and explains all aspects of what she's talking about. And I'm sure it didn't hurt to have the world Champion as a father.

[@terrybeams6602]

What an outstanding example of proper technic, not only teaching us how but the WHY! Do you teach live classes, where can I find them?

[@kenhoward3512]

I can't imagine a better, more-detailed breakdown of the elements of taking a proper, effective stance, along with something I hadn't considered: focusing not on the pulling of the trigger, but the release.

[@RobtJr60]

This is a great explanation of the shooting basics and more. Thank you. I have sent this to my daughters!!!

[@Sportsmans_Warehouse]

We have 4 other Lena videos and will be releasing more monthly

[@RobtJr60]

@@Sportsmans_Warehouse Thanks for letting me know. I'll tell them so they can watch!

[@mamia6975]

WOW, Your my idol Lena and your dad Jerry Miculek so much, i love to have a souvenier from both of you, i'm from Philippines, can i have your shirt if possible 🙏❣️🙏 Father and daughter you're the best!

[@carlrainey7545]

Lena, you make me a better firearm instructor!!! You are awesome!!! Thank you!

[@michaeldaltonsr8954]

You hav amazing teaching talent!! Which also means you have great learning capacity! TY for the work you do!

[@MC-yp2tn]

Love these amazing tips and tricks!! Thanks, Lena!!!

[@doubleJ690]

Excellent tips. Thank you!

[@VA7LFD]

So true about muscles squeezing but not releasing. Took me a long time to figure that out in my riding of horses especially in dressage. So many similarities in upper body position and core management in this video I connected with directly because of my riding. Lena you are amazing. Would love to learn from you as I'm a total beginner. Cheers from Vancouver, Canada.

[@jessearroyo3927]

I honestly get more from Lena than from her Dad! Love your videos.

[@richc4388]

She can shoulder fire a 5 round mag of 50bmg in like 2 seconds so I’d say trust her technique without question

[@Fight4Freedom1911]

Her explanations on recoil management is superb and actually is very simular to percussion.. whereas drumming your controlling the recoil/rebound ... she using simular techniques.. making me thing why didnt i ever think about some of these tips or try them out 😅😂.. lastly sharing her secrets which have led to her sucess at the range is extreemly humble and helpful!

[@rcrtvtv7084]

Thanks Lena!!! great tips

[@samuelharrison7629]

Lena, you and your Dad, the best ever!! Thanks for all your videos!

[@redmesa2975]

3:45 when I rode dirt bikes as a kid, the same elbow technique applied. The Moto cross racers, keep their elbows up, for best control. Elbows down = bad.

[@taemeister9302]

I have been watching videos from several different instructors, but they all fail to mention one thing: Slightly bend your arms sideways to mitigate upward recoil. This is the one thing that i was missing which made me re-aim after everyshot no matter how hard i gripped or locked my wrist. Lena is a godsend. This single video along with the proper grip is all you need to practice to maintain aim and stance after firing a round. Thank you, Lena. I am actually angry at Tactical Hyve for never mentioning this. It's like teaching someone how to build a house without showing them how to build the foundation...

[@jrn4oaks]

Very good!! Thank you!!

[@chrisbohanon403]

This is definitely the best video on shooting I've seen. I recently took a friend to the range who's never even held a gun and I used this and it truly helped!

[@Steve-qn1lj]

I am in love! Especially when she said shotgun was her favorite because it was the most violent. STAY VIOLENT!

[@obeii1805]

Very informative

[@worldunfolds]

“I liked it because it was the most violent” lol. Lena rules

[@N8V_SHINOBI]

I recently bought a tactical pump shotgun and I'm barely getting familiar shooting and loading it. I'm very impressed in how Lena controls herself and shots the fire arms like it's very accurate. Love it! 👍😁

[@mike_js2936]

Recoil: a demo of Newton’s third law of motion

[@sipzter]

Love her teaching technique - of course her dad's as well - just fantastic info. But please sportsman's, please, please STOP THE MUSIC. I and everone else id here to learn about ercoil mangement NOT to listen to whatever that background noise was.

[@adamlivingstone3239]

You have a twin sister, no joke , Colleen Paz. She is an Artist. ( UCLA ) I dated her in high-school. Weird, even your demeanor matches.

[@omnivore2220]

Good grief; get rid of that music! I came here to listen to her talk. If I wanted to listen to music, I'd be waaay off on another channel!

[@tomashradil3994]

What is the music in background? It's pretty relaxing and cool

[@BrotherNkosi]

I'm sorry, but i have to ask and maybe no one will answer. Are you using factory ammo or custom loads and custom gun that sets an possibly unrealistic result. Not saying no improvement; just not to what I am seeing here.

[@nonu614]

Great information. I would consider turning the volume on the music down just a smidgen.

[@garypollard9770]

Oh WOW! My favorite beautiful shooter shooting for my favorite sporting goods store!

[@canileaveitblank1476]

Great video; except for that background noise; aka music.

[@pi-sx3mb]

Yep. Tapped out halfway through because of the annoying pointless music.

[@DmitRo...]

Thanks, Lena You are an amazing girl and a cool shooter 😊

[@vijonbe]

Have to love Lena, she's just so good at explaining things!!! Great tips and explained rellay well! And also is a joy for the eye, which doesen't hurt!

[@shaunaedwards2152]

OMG can I please take a lesson with you lol! These video have been so helpful. Thank you!

[@detroitdraingang5037]

better teacher than her dad. dont hate me plz

[@thinman8621]

Ms. Miculek has thought through recoil management. Good information. Thanks

[@joshlemke735]

Such an impressive young lady.

[@destinytroll1374]

We need more like Lena 😁

[@the5seasons947]

yes but there wont be another like her for a long while

[@igorangelievish8111]

Hi, I live in Las Vegas. Where could I take classes with you?.

[@Nonyabusiness911]

First time today and I went with an instructor. He showed me the proper grip and finger placement but that was it. I did destroy the red circle so I guess it was enough.

[@jlweck231978]

I have never seen anyone put 2 fingers over the trigger guard before. I was always taught not to. I never had a tendency to do that anyways but I did see someone who never held a gun before put one finger over the trigger guard when hold them and aiming them (empty). I told the person that is not how to hold a gun and not how I was taught and told by several people not to hold that way. Anyone else have a finger or two over the trigger quard? Why? I imagine to help with recoil control? Aim? I guess what ever is comfortable.?

[@TexasLawDawg2001]

@Jim Weck II she has a video out on her father's channel I believe that explains her hand and finger placement to detail. Its been too long to remember since I have seen it. I shoot a 1911 .357sig so any bit to help tame recoil I am on it.

[@MrRanggong]

Nice job. It totally makes sense about how you need to start with your weight on the balls of your feet not neutral. I've been guilty of that. Also love the comment about liking the violence of the shotgun blast. Me too.

[@kennethconner5260]

Excellent content and delivery, you're a great speaker and the way you describe how and most importantly, why, you do what you do is very easy to understand. The only thing I can say is please consider either no background music or at the very least turn it down some.

[@davidbaldwin1591]

The absence of self promotion makes this instructor memorable.

[@robteaster2446]

This lady obviously knows her stuff. From this video, to me, best thing to do is break down every action into small steps and work on those, then begin moving from step to step.

[@GoTorino]

Rarely do I look at a woman and think "Ok, now THAT is wife material"

[@andregustavotemponecardoso3706]

Thank you Lena for sharing your huge experience. A big hug from a Brazilian admiror of your work.

[@FT4Freedom]

"Your foundation and your connection with the earth.

[@John-uo1qf]

Hope you're not still with SW. Rotten business

[@adamlivingstone3239]

No joke, you can simply Google her name.

[@brettinnj]

I have watched a lot of videos on recoil management and this one is by far the best.

[@SMOOTHMUZICTV]

Great video and awesome breakdown of recoil 👍🏾👍🏾

[@peters303]

Thanks for the short and simple explanation! Already feel the difference while dry fire practice

[@hidekifrazier9466]

Totally awesome

[@jessicamenchaca4970]

I wanna be like her when I grow up ❤️‍🔥

[@charlesrobertson1632]

Excellent video, VERY well done 👍 Helped me alot!

[@webbesreloaded]

I like your practical and clear instructions, top!

[@jerrypowell2546]

Great video, It would be more helpful if you explain the three positions of your feet if we could actually SEE your feet, rather than a bench in the foreground. We understand the concept, but a video should be more visual than audio/conceptual.

[@MobileYamTechNC]

Nice video - surprised it does not have more views. I like showing my 10 year old daughter Lena's videos - they give her inspiration.

[@Sportsmans_Warehouse]

We will be releasing more Lena videos every month so keep following the page.

[@gklein4054]

Concise, On Target!

[@jeffbouwkamp2332]

Hello, I'm Jeff, and WOW! Some great info on your stance for shooting your Pistol and recoil Management! I noticed you put your Left Index and Middle finger on the front of the trigger guard. Can you give me some Info on this technique? Thanks.

[@theDudeOfDudes]

Weight is stored in the balls. Got it.

[@stenmoeller]

Somewhat different than all those bikini babes waving silly a S&W 500 and end up with it pointing straight up in the sky after one shot - if they don't fall over. Me, I'll get to the range and practice. Know there's room for improvement.

[@SeanChristopherMcGee]

Excellent video! Thank you! This has helped big time!

[@v111pilot]

Thanks Lena! as a 20+ year firearms instructor I learned a few things from your video. Well done and very impressive. Keep up the great work!

[@mr.nobody68]

The first thing she kinda hints at is that she's a tiny little girl trying to muscle around a big, heavy hitting gun. Solution? Build up your lunch muscle. Order the large fries. Go back for thirds at every meal. Have extra ice cream.

[@paulblackburn2929]

You don't do the push/pull method?

[@DonTruman]

Amazed at how well controlled both of those were. Looked like you were shooting .22's even though I'm sure you weren't.

[@denniskettinger9876]

nice to see you don't have to be a muscle bound brute to achieve marksmanship (markspersonship markswomenship)

[@Miketheneck]

7:43 7:45 7:46 7:46 7:47 7:47

[@rshinn8776]

How about grip? Any advice? First time seeing anyone have 2 fingers of weak hand around trigger guard.

[@randalljames1]

Best shooters have "Bird toes" :)

[@cmillerphotos]

I'm not a super big guy so I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the recoil management tips I can get! Thanks!! (And I just bought a shotgun.) :-)

[@garychapin448]

Thank you, Lena. I noticed that you're gripping around and in front of the trigger guard with your support hand. Would you kindly let me know what pistol you're shooting?

[@stevebeimler2579]

Best teacher ever ❤️ l!!!

[@russellgaines4945]

Excellent instruction

[@royjennison3916]

You're so sweet😅👍👌💯

[@callaseter2174]

Another great video Lena. GOD bless. 🙏✝️

[@blazerbarrel2]

Thanks !

[@soll86]

the elbow technique is awesome.. Been shooting for a long time but not actually used that method. Been using it for a few months now and it's super useful

[@kavaldevereux3111]

I am so glad there are other people who's first pick was a shotgun because it was "the most violent" lol. In performance and in damage hehe

[@AntoineWilliams7118]

Thank you

[@cesarsoto9135]

Its so motivating to see how dedicated she is to the craft thank you. Effortlessly beautiful too.

[@rafaelroque2274]
