Valor Ridge Pistol Standards were designed to give the individual a "Pistol Workout" program every time one goes to the range. For less than a box of ammunition (47 rounds) a person can practice at short, medium, and long-range with their handgun.
To pass, you must do the following:
Have one or less misses per stage and meet or be under the par time.
To pass the standards, you must be a "go" on 11 out of 13 stages.

This is the value you get from Reid's classes. Fire hose of marksmanship skills and no bull training exercises. My wife and I took their 4 days small arms class. That is 2 days pistol, 2 days rifle. This was for our honeymoon mind you! It changed our lives forever and not just with firearms, but mindset as well. Reid has a beautiful, clean and safe range and classroom. His crew of instructors are some of the most knowledgeable, safe, caring and fun dudes you'll ever meet. We are going back this October for their new neighborhood defense class. This will be for our 1 year anniversary and we will be going back every year if not twice a year when we can afford it. We still have to jump in on one of patriot nurses medical classes. We not only made new friends going to valor ridge, we have new family at valor ridge. You have to train with these guys at least once before the good lord calls you home. Thanks for the videos and all the hard work Y'all put in Reid. God bless and see you in October!!

[@rockhopper01]

All Things Manly Very cool brother.

[@brandonshepherd3317]

I know this is an old post but I'm going to the small arms course next year in May or June as soon as the new schedule comes out. Anything you recommend or wish you knew going in to get the most out it?

[@2aisabsoluteTim]

You can only take it if u have small arms

[@locksmithdb2075]

Reid, I want to thank you for taking the time,effort to teach us normal folks anything about firearms,safety,trigger control,history and all the other things you put on video. Thanks! From one patriot to another.

[@ReidHenrichs]

Thank you for watching. My philosophy is that if you get, you give. For some people, the videos are all they have for guidance. For others, class is possible.

[@dachip50]

This isnt relevant to the video but you have one of the cleanest ranges Ive seen. It seems like alot of training ranges dont like to clean up after shooting, I like that you take pride in having a clean range!

[@ReidHenrichs]

It's old school, classically trained doctrine to do so. Any professional shooters that I know and have shot and trained with do the same thing. Tradition matters, and picking up brass holds you accountable for each shot.

[@jtree5793]

ive heard horror stories of guys kneeling down and getting brass stuck into their knee and having to have it surgically removed. so its appreciated

[@Troacoli]

His former employer's range seems to be pretty heavily littered with shells at times, at least going from old videos.

[@fredoneal3075]

Reid, I thought I heard you were a Hawaii Marine. So was I. Marine Barracks Pearl Harbor. Guard Company Westloch. 1982-1986. We guarded the nukes that used to be there. Love your videos. Very real and down to earth with no hype. Semper Fi.

[@davidzetterberg6614]

I learned one thing from this video. man I need to get to the range more often. I ain't shot in months.

[@ReidHenrichs]

Dry practice will take you a long way. I only use live fire to verify my dry practice is done properly.

[@davidzetterberg6614]

Thanks for responding. I do that also, dry fire that is. Its just not the same.

[@renhosti]

Ordered some Valor Ridge targets yesterday. Got my pocket pro II timer last week. Now to find out if my dry fire practice is paying off.

[@locksmithdb2075]

Who ever did the excavating, grading for the ranges at Valor Ridge did a really good job! It's beautiful. I operated heavy equipment for my dad right after high school (worked on excavators,tracked loaders,dozers..etc for about 9 years) then I got into locksmithing. I found something that I actually like doing. I've been a locksmith for 15 years now.

[@armedandfeminine-gunchanne5587]

These are great standards, great shooting, great video, which all go without saying. but what really impressed me is how clean you keep your range! (Girls notice this stuff) It's not a sea of spent brass and shotgun shells. You're channel is one of the best, if not the best out there!

[@ReidHenrichs]

Thank you. Brass-call is a traditional act at the end of a range session, and it makes one contemplate the hits and misses.

[@zacharycollins9137]

Reid Henrichs It must have pained you to work on the tactical response range.

[@jamiesloan5902]

I wrote this standard down for my 62nd drill, in my "drill book". Can't wait to give it a shot! I ran the ASP 10-round skill check today. It's very similar to this, just fewer rounds. I spent about 3 hours outside running drills today. I can't think of anything else that I would have rather been doing. I LOVE IT!!!!

[@firefighterDenny]

Shot this multiple times this last month. Thank you. Now one of my favorite standards.

[@leadpersuasion]

Great set of standards, Reid. This will be my goal at the next range session. Thanks again for all you do on this channel, brother!

[@zsd101]

Great job! One of the best videos so far! Thanks! :D

[@daveaddorisio2369]

This is a great video. I enjoy challenging myself with different standards. I tried this earlier today and did fairly well but it definitely shows areas I need to improve. Thanks for the great posts. I’m enjoying your channel. Semper-Fi

[@cpupton]

Great video! Always interested in the videos you put out sir and always learn something from them. Just found out that Valor Ridge is only a few hours from home so I'll be looking at some training real soon here. Thank you!

[@inritoday]

Thank you for sharing brother. I will be working on this.

[@RKHarm24]

Very refreshing and informative. I have not shot with a timer in years as the indoor range I shoot at will not let you shoot faster than 1 shot every 2 seconds +/-. No drawing from the holster except during their special shooting events either. Thanks

[@td120180]

I started shooting this course of fire last fall and love it. It's challenging but doable and it shows you exactly where your deficiencies are. My worst was 3 body at 15 and now it's a strength. Great stuff man!

[@dkroll92]

Great drill(s). Need to try this in the future.

[@nopro5433]

Awesome man thanks for the free class I taped this on my phone and will work on it at the range wish I was closer I would definitely try to sign up for one of your spots.

[@johnkeats4181]

This brings back fond of memories. I remember being nervous as hell at that line. I would take pistol 1 every year if I could.... it's that good. Thanks Reid. Eric

[@docholliday2760]

Reid, your confidence and abilities are inspiring. thanks for the tips and lessons.

[@TripleAAA53]

Outstanding tutorial !!!See you in June !!Semper Fidelis

[@lakemanson8051]

thank you for sharing this with us!

[@Jazzman-bj9fq]

Wow this is great stuff! You prove to be a legit pistolero!

[@xkukubax]

Great drills, Reid. Thank you. A little bit too difficult for me, but I might try it out! Much love from Poland.

[@celebmrk9]

Kudos, nice routine...hope to set up something like this workout here at home!

[@forrestsmith3390]

Great video. Thanks

[@ZOROzz505]

Solid standards to build on. I will be working on these and posting a video response

[@amo757]

This is a great drill. Thanks Reid.

[@samuelclayton4405]

Hey bud I will have to start using this type of drills in our training exercises. I dont know why I did not think of this. Thank you man. I would enjoy coming out to the Ridge some day.

[@tyler558806]

Reid, I ran across your channel a view weeks ago; since then I've watched nearly every video you've put out (past and present). You are by far, the best gun channel, and best channel, on KZbin...period; including your history lessons. You offer no BS weapons training/handling and have a precise understanding of what our Founders intended in the Constitution. You are a true patriot. Please, for the love of God, do not stop dishing out videos! Maybe some day funds will allow me to come up to Tennessee to join a class.

[@jimmiet1988]

thanks for the drill video Reid its cold out, its 26° here in Michigan

[@picotnator]

I look forward to trying this

[@cbrucesbiz]

Reid, Good stuff. I was dry firing along with you. The 8th stage,... I also got caught up on my T-shirt when we went for the second mag. That was a hoot but showed me I have to dry fire a lot more for that motion. I must say you are a man of standards to leave it in your video. I am fortunate to have just been given access to a private range belonging to a gun store owner I and a few others helped to clean and set up for training only expecting hamburgers and soft drinks. Guess you do get back when you give, pressed down and running over. I can't wait to get an open slot to give this a day at the range work out. Thank you so much for your online efforts and showing your faith, in the open. God Speed!

[@GamalielRios]

GREAT vid...!!! thanks

[@rebekah-chriss-k4872]

good standards drill thanks for sharing

[@sidewindermac]

Great Standards!

[@atypical_moto]

I might attempt this standard next outing. Thanks.

[@tackytrooper]

Nice shooting Reed! I have sort of fallen into a longer-range shooting social group, so I don't shoot as much pistol as I should, and this just tells me I have a lot of work to do there...

[@claytonalexander7358]

Need some of those targets and will be checking on classes

[@scoutdynamics3272]

That 22 year old kid fired 10 rounds at a mass shooter at 40 yards. 8 hit the perp. This kid must have been one of your students

[@ferebeefamily]

Well done. Thank you.

[@johntito6241]

That is a gorgeous bay!

[@prussell219]

great vid

[@patrickdavis1385]

Well done

[@tomyates8556]

Definitely on my list, Ried seems like a great dude.

[@dcoidua]

Good job Reid. Nice shootin

[@beardedwayne4199]

Great display of marksmanship. Loved your tzitzits!

[@reelfishingnw2372]

Good stuff!

[@rockhopper01]

Got out practicing Stage 1 today. Best I could manage consistently was about 2.20sec. Thanks for this Reid. Pass on a God Bless to J.J and James, from me and my son Action Jackson!

[@nacahmiller]

outstanding drill, I know I'm not that good, I need to come train with you.

[@toddmiller1933]

Great vid no guns in Uk but had fun shooting in Vegas

[@Poppaswine33]

Good stuff to work on. ..

[@brianroberts6127]

Thanks Reid , so much better watching you without James Yeager. I'm a 48 year old vet . Your videos are very informative. I take your videos and put them in my practice. Thanks you so much!👍

[@rockhopper01]

Brian Roberts I am with you there. My son and I attended Rifleman I last year at Valor Ridge. Very professional. No f-bombs, no belittling.

[@brianroberts6127]

👍

[@brianroberts6127]

rockhopper01 👍

[@zachtgreen]

Hey Reid! Thanks for the vids, man. Say, I really enjoyed the videos (they may have been on tactical response) where you are basically giving history lessons and tying it in to modern firearms. Do you plan on doing anything like that on this channel? Cheers.

[@cbigg81]

Thank you!

[@PhilMRivers]

Nice Would like to get there some day.

[@HumanN8ture]

Great standards!

[@romifrentescu871]

wow you are a great shot Reid!

[@danieloneil7693]

Thanks.

[@sixstringforge]

Great video. I love the fact that you teach and train to shoot the way you carry. Doesn't matter how good of a shot you are if you can't get gun out of the holster. Any chance you will do a video on pistol shooting at 25-100 yards? My vision is not so great and those distances can be challenge.

[@KMSchriver]

sixstringforge standard #12 is at 25 yards in this video.

[@Gilly714]

Nice video Reid i love it , I have 1 question our those Tzitzit? if so are you rocking a cord of blue in them ? :)

[@rshayne123]

Looks like you are having fun.

[@tmoss1900]

Good drills, very similar to LE. But add in concealed carry for winter jacket?

[@mikehoncho4118]

nice lookin range

[@KMSchriver]

This is a great video. Now I'm super pumped to make a trip and work with you on these standards. Which class would work on these?

[@ReidHenrichs]

We will be doing these in all of our pistol classes.

[@modernmarksmanshiptraining9706]

Just shot this myself on this nice 30 degree Pennsylvania today drawing from concealment with a carheart on passed clean it really is a well rounded test

[@1DRIPSTER]

You're one hell of a shot brother.

[@moorees335]

As someone who carries a DA/SA I look forward to trying this.

[@jram6042]

This is fantastic sir!!! I agree with the others, I'll start working on these as my standards immediately. Are you going to do one for rifle standards?

[@pkgreens_9998]

...nobody is scared of a Geoffrey, he's just a bloke from down the lane! Lol

[@twitch3851]

I wanna train here !!!

[@estebanplaya]

After watching this video I've decided I suck, lol. Another great video.

[@J0Gu7]

Do you have a page to print out with these standards? Really would like a print out to keep in the range bag.

[@zionkid28]

Awesome vid thanks for what u teach us through them. But I do have one question but y do u teach to shoot a pistol at 50 yds. The most ya should do is 20 or so yds. If I have a threat at 50 yds I’d go to my AR. But maybe I’m wrong so what’s up w that

[@matthewwilcher5943]

Reid, are these the standards required in your pistol classes? If so I need to work on these before I attend your class. Thanks for the info.

[@Captain-Electro]

I would like to see someone do this with a beretta jetfire, ruger lcp, NAA .22lr revolver, j frame .38 , or a bond arms derringer. Those are all guns people carry most often. I strap my glock 22 on when I go to the grocery store but I work in a gun free zone behind a barbed wire fence so I take the ruger lcp to work. Most folks don't even do that.

[@Captain-Electro]

Excuse me- a gun resistant zone, obviously I sneak a .380 in every day.

[@bludmakesgrassgrow]

I carry a G42, does that count? Lol. Probably would have trouble with support hand under 3 seconds.

[@Captain-Electro]

Yes, that's about j-frame sized. My wife has one.

[@Captain-Electro]

You gonna tell on me?

[@Captain-Electro]

No doubt, but I can assure you that the extent of my co workers KZbin experience involves either cat videos or twerking asses. Even if they did see my comment, they wouldn't bother investigating who it came from.

[@Captain-Electro]

Pet the fuzzy wall!

[@Jeff-vp9vz]

Where did you get those target stands? I've been looking and trying fabricate something. Thanks

[@rjenkins8352]

Thanks Reid...I wish tour channel had about 5 million "squared away" subs... Maybe our country would look alot different (normal) than what it does today...We need to go back to a time whereas it was an "oddity" to NOT own or carry a gun.

[@rjenkins8352]

**your**

[@thomasabramson100]

Reid what is your response to muzzle climb or recoil on heavy caliber pistols say .45 M1911??

[@Mak-Daddy]

Very nice instruction as usual, Sir. My fiancée and I are looking forward to taking your Rifleman I and Pistol Craft I courses sometime next year (She's overseas right now). We'll likely be using SLR-104FR AK-74's and Makarov & CZ Custom pistols.

[@Mak-Daddy]

***** How come?

[@butthurtrambo6897]

They aren't Yeager approved.

[@ReidHenrichs]

Those guns are fine for our courses.

[@Mak-Daddy]

+Reid Henrichs Awesome! Thank you

[@selfbowhunter.1952]

Would love to trade places. It is windchill of -3 right now and we have a foot of snow.. BTW great info.

[@pignock6725]

Very good video. You have the 6th standard instructions mislabeled as the seventh. The seventh instruction caption is also labeled as the seventh.

[@ReidHenrichs]

History and shooting are my strong suits, not math.

[@christisking1193]

Is there a written course description?

[@thematrix6063]

I want that target

[@Brian-oj9zs]

Another great video! What happened to the VP9? I own the glock 19 and VP9. The 19 has become a safe queen because of it.

[@SheepDogNumber6]

What are the ropes hanging from your belt?

[@frankfirebaugh6914]

great standards for the drills. I love the way you teach your methods in you videos. I wish I could afford to attend some of your classes as you seem to be a top notch instructor. I hope valor ridge is around for many years to come.

[@rjhengartner]

Do you have two appendix carry for this qualification? Just a little scared to carry that way, hate to lose the Beans and Frank

[@teoff16]

What happened to the vp9?

[@subparpenguin9587]

I like the theme you had going here. 13 standards, 13 original colonies....I see what you did there =)

[@signguyxxx]

Do you have a print out of this Pistol Standard?

[@dansmasonry1]

Reid, question, what mag carrier do you use? I've tried several, but so far they're only mediocre. Thanks

[@PeaceManBro]

Pine Ranch Try safariland universal mag carrier, fits a double stack great, 15$ a piece when I bought em, and i got a hat!

[@shwngbr]

Great practice of the preaching. Thumbs Up.

[@timungerank7321]

This should be standard training for all gun owners in the USA. WE AS A NATION SHOULD HAVE A CIVILIAN SPECIAL FORCE GROUP LIKE ISRAEL!!! AWESOME SHOW. THANK YOU!!!

[@cdhrtsc]

as the kids say these days, you da real MVP, Reid. I wouldn't wanna be on the business side of your pistol man.

[@MrBullard84]

I have a ton of work to do!

[@logancook3292]

I’ve noticed you always have blue string hanging from your shorts, what’s that for?

[@humblehim]

I've watched a handful of your videos and enjoyed them...however i just noticed your Tzitzit! Awesome man! how long have you been keeping Torah?

[@ReidHenrichs]

A long time. Both Sephardic and Ashkenaz in the DNA.

[@richj3168]

I was just about to comment on this! I think its awesome!

[@humblehim]

Are you Messianic?

[@m4oni]

Reid, you had a video a while back when you were at TR. "A REPUBLIC, IF WE CAN KEEP IT" (IMO one of the best videos on youtube...founding father level) Sadly it was taken down. Is there any way you re-record it next time you give it and post it? I referred all of my budding patriot friends to that video. You area much better teacher than I am.

[@m4oni]

BTW I am looking forward to training with you.
