Navy SEAL shoots with Taran Tactical: Gun setup and shooting techniques for competition

Navy SEAL shoots with Taran Tactical: Gun setup and shooting techniques for competition

We’ve all seen the Taran Tactical shooting videos with Keanu Reeves training for the John Wick movies which is bad-ass. I’m not usually one to watch videos on competition shooting since that is not my thing, but I have to say the following video held my attention the entire time. Here, Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan takes the time to learn from one of the best in competition shooting. Before they even begin putting rounds down range, they spend half of the time going over the platforms they are shooting as well as some different techniques to get both good hits and faster times.

Taran Butler talks about his Glock 34 setup and why he prefers the Glock over other platforms. Out of the box, he makes two necessary modifications; the sights and the trigger. Watch the following video to learn more.
