What can you train with 100 rounds?

[@jimbobborg22]

Back in 2019, I took a class with JJ Racaza and was trying to get better at competition pistol shooting. After the class, I really started reloading and taking shooting seriously. My office was five minutes from a local range, so during my lunch hour I shot 100 rounds a day. After about four months of this, I developed trigger finger, and screwed up a really good run on a classifier. Went to the doctor and she referred me to an arthritis specialist. He saw me for about 10 minutes (after I waited 2 months to see him since he was booked up.) He wanted me to come back in 3 months but didn't give me any kind of medicine to help. I ended up fixing it myself by changing my diet. No more sugar at all, and I cut seed oils out of my diet. Low and behold, no more trigger finger or any other arthritis symptoms. As long as I don't have any sugar, my joints were fine. When I cut seed oils out the rest of me felt better, too. Started cutting more crap out of my diet, anything highly processed was off the menu. I felt so much better, and I lost 50 pounds. If you end up getting arthritis like I did, cut sugar completely out of your diet. You'll thank me later.

These are wonderful drills that anyone can do at any time. Lots of actionable drills with great feeback with little ammo wasted!

[@Jerzees1]

I like the idea of not forcing yourself. If you miss step back, do some dry fire and come back to normal drill. This always worked for me. 👍

Thanks Mick excellent video!👍😊👍

Thank you

[@richiev63]

Thank you once again for some sage advice. I credit you for the tidbits of knowledge that have gotten me to train better and become better. Maybe next year I get to do it in person.

[@19spydersnake]

Thank you for this video Mickey

[@halledwardb]

Thanks, we will start trying this with our 9mm & 223 ammo. I bought the family Tippmann AR and Glock 44's for less expensive practice.

[@EeZ3-808]

Mickey hit the nail on the head. I practice a bunch of different drills. For me, it always comes down to my grip and trigger press. I can’t seem to rid myself of low left hits if I’m not fully concentrating on my grip and trigger press. Dry fire dry fire dry fire…. I need more of that in my life. Definitely a personal problem. Aloha 🤙🏽

[@dankrystyniak8029]

This is great. Especially for newbie

[@JL-xn3zy]

Mickey you're killing it with the great information. Keep kicking butt!👍

[@ExecutiveGun]

Good video. Experienced shooters who make fast par times can learn something here, too. Well done.

[@dman3526]

Great vid, as always. Bill drill and Dub Bill drill are my favorites. Sometimes on the Dub Bill, I will put the second target at 25yds and the first at 7, to add some throttle control elements.

[@PulaskiRoad]

Good video. Keep them coming.

[@scottjudah]

As usual, great video Mick. I'll certainly try this training method on my next time at the range. :)

[@israelalvarado1695]

As someone who's been training for a few years since covid.I can say that grip is so important to getting multiple hits on target especially while moving! One thing that has helped me is Dry firing! People underestimate how useful it can be. Always great content!!

[@jeffk2467]

Mickey. I’ve taken a few classes with you, sir. I enjoy and respect your videos. I’ve been improving since your classes. Can you make a video that helps when we must be behaving differently such as an indoor range. Movement and holster draws are frowned upon. It’s a bit of disconnect, but I try and do all of that dry, and then live fire from say draw position number two. In a booth, I can get maybe a half step sideways. Your perspective and advice would very much be appreciated.

[@CarryTrainer]

Hey Jeff, I hope you are well. I've seen a few comments about this from others as well. I'll get it done.

[@yabangeedamat1907]

Very didatic. As someone who can't afford to shoot large amounts of ammo, these tips will surely help me improve. I'll try it out and then come back with some feedback. Thanks!

[@DanielM-sv5vb]

Hey Mick, how about making a video for people who can only go to inside ranges and you can only shoot 1 round every 2,3 seconds, double tap are ok, no shooting from holster, well you got the idea… Excellent videos man, keep them coming.

[@CarryTrainer]

Good idea

[@yabangeedamat1907]

Good idea. Where I live (not in the US) I can only practice in indoor ranges, so shooting on the move, from the holster, or on multiple targets is an issue (I can only do it if the range is free and because I'm friends with the manager, otherwise its not allowed)

[@williamlucrisia9169]

You and your drills are appreciated. Perhaps you could do a vid on 1 eye open, two eyes open. You are enjoyed. Thanks

[@CarryTrainer]

Thanks

[@andyprairiedog]

Excellent video with ammo saving in mind. I do catch myself at the range getting sloppy after maybe 100 rounds. I have to get upset at myself for wasting ammunition. I believe even the misses can teach me where I sucked but I'm referring to being sloppy with no purpose to the range time. I do like the Dot Torture but different drills like this are great. Thanks again, Mick.

[@andyuseman7980]

It's not how much lead you throw down range that makes you better, it's how well you put them down range. I can never understand folks who go dump 300+ rounds at the same target. Always have a purpose and a goal for each range session. Just my 2 cents...

[@nchintalapani]

Bingo, a lot of folks think sending rounds down range over the weekend is a substitute for structured dry practice every day. Most of my improvements have come from 15 minute dedicated dry fire sessions.

[@natestain7103]

Dry firing with a target system is also extremely valuable in my opinion. Ahh edit, I did not see the comment already. What he said 😂

[@kevinmcreynolds123]

Too many people go to the range without a plan of what they want to work on, some people just want to go play. While others of us have a task and goal in mind. I personally go practice Live fire just about weekly, normally 200 to 250 rounds per session. Every round has a purpose for a drill or accuracy standard.

[@CarryTrainer]

Provided you know what and how to practice

[@nchintalapani]

@@CarryTrainer Correct, thats where getting training from reputable sources like you comes into play.

[@ronmaupin123]

What would the time goals be when using a revolver. Love your channel, keep it up.

[@CarryTrainer]

Except for reloading, why would it change? Here is the issue. A specific problem requires a specific equation. Because of our choices the equation or the sum doesn't change, does it?

[@juliewalls5804]

Mr. All caps again, newbie question…….do you also practice this drill with your goal to include pulling your trigger as you extend your hands along with waiting to shoot until you have full extension?

[@CarryTrainer]

What's the goal in that endeavor?

[@rubenske091]

👍👍

[@Bob06460]

A tinge is between a tad and a pinch.

Coffee coupon?

[@CarryTrainer]

Sorry, none at this time. We did recently run a sale.

[@kbkesq]

Curious if you carry a subcompact vs full size is it better to practice with the small gun ?

[@CarryTrainer]

The legendary John Bianchi of Bianchi holsters, (safariland) said "one gun, one holster, all the time." He was referring to building solid skills. The more we change, the more stuff changes. Train with what you carry, how you carry it. That said, if new to shooting, a full size gun is often a better way to develop skills.

[@scottjudah]

Hey Mick, why do you use the ear plugs with the head set? I've noticed other do that as well and wonder why people do that. Thanks.

[@CarryTrainer]

More protection=less damage. I did a recent video on it.

[@RosealeeCorey]

It is good to hear .Wish I wore them often heading to a fire call code 3

[@rgbroady]

In boxing and Muay Thai footwork it is always a no-no to cross your feet while sidestepping and it puts you in a compromised position with balance. A simple sidestep without crossing your feet would seem to be superior to me in my opinion with all due respect. Teaching the method of crossing your feet is a good way to make new shooters trip over their own feet with a loaded gun.

[@CarryTrainer]

@rgbroady maybe, perhaps and sometimes. We've done a series on foot work, truth is, it depends. As for making someone trip, with anything in their hands that's on them. Dryfire is a real thing and it's easy and only costs a little time. If you can't walk a step or two, you probably shouldn't be trying any of this. Check out those videos on movement here. It's quite impossible to attempt to please every desire and appetite in 10 or 15 minutes. I do agree with you that footwork is very important and should be considered and trained.

[@ryanburnham4962]

I train with 50 rounds different targets at different distances

[@travismcmillan564]

Working on gripping the gun all the time. I have noticed my grip starts to go and so does trigger control and my accuracy suffers which equals misses and to me that isn’t acceptable. I agree line breaks aren’t good enough because as you stated it’s almost a miss.

[@CarryTrainer]

@travismcmillan564 while it's a hit, I don't want to walk the line of missing

[@travismcmillan564]

Amen

[@phyconinga]

I have this problem too small grip doesn't help.

[@travismcmillan564]

Small grip as in the pistol is small or your hands are? I run a Glock 17 all the time. The more surface area the easier it is to hold onto the gun. That being said I still have grip issues when I’m not squeezing the gun hard enough to isolate my trigger finger. Dry fire and really working that squeeze while watching your front sight to ensure it doesn’t deviate is huge.

[@CarryTrainer]

@@travismcmillan564 wouldn't that depend on hand size too?

[@synapse1able]

How did the timer stop when you finished shooting?

[@KP-Pro2A]

It only records the shots, so the last time recorded was the last shot…. It’s not like starting a stopwatch. It doesn’t just keep going

[@CarryTrainer]

It's counting gunshots

[@synapse1able]

Mickey, maybe you could make a video at An indoor gun range with different options

[@TarunBathija]

I always found myself after 50 rounds - 'not care' as much where the rounds are landing - and that's when I know its time to come back another day

[@CarryTrainer]

What's the goal?

[@TarunBathija]

@@CarryTrainer That's a great question - i'm not sure if I had a clear one. I think just to learn the fundamentals of aiming, grip, breathing, sight picture and just trying to land somewhere close to where I intended i guess - I didn't run many drills or anything

[@CarryTrainer]

​@TarunBathija we've got to have clear goals

Do you have classes for disabled people? I walk with a cane because of a serious neck injury and a bad hip. The doctor said that after the hip is fixed, I should regain my total mobility, but until that time, should I leave the firearm at home or figure out how to work around the injury?I really would like to know what you think because I trust your judgment.

[@CarryTrainer]

We adjust for individuals. We don't so a class for any specific group. We train and sort how to best get good results for the individual. We have numerous attendees who have health and mobility challenges. Self defense is for all.
