One of the first lessons that you hear when you start learning about situational awareness is to position yourself where you can have your back protected and best see approaching threats. It’s not a new concept. 150 years or so ago, it was called the “Gunfighter’s Seat.” It’s the seat in a restaurant, bar, office, […]
You’ve probably heard that it’s important to know how to fight from the ground because most fights are going to end up there. Now, ideally, you don’t want to go to the ground…especially if the ground is hard or you have multiple attackers. But sometimes, that’s where it ends up. So, if you end up […]
There are some trips to the range that I remember very clearly… A decade or so ago, I bought an H&K USPc. I immediately took it to the range, had the sights swapped out, and took it onto the range for a test fire. The darn thing shot low. I took it back to the gunsmith […]
I get asked all the time for the best drills to do the next time shooters go to the range. Sometimes it’s the best drills if you only have 1 box of 50 rounds. Sometimes it’s the best drills if you’re at a restrictive range. Either way, there’s no one specific set of drills that’s […]
We’ve got a shooting study group that meets once a month to force us to get out of our comfort zone. It’s all guys who are serious about shooting and can be trusted to move and shoot safely on a hot range in poor conditions. A lot of times, we end up shooting when it’s […]
Today, I’ve got 2 common AR-15 training errors that I’m going to take A LOT of heat for pointing out. These 2 inferior techniques/errors are almost sacred cows in the firearms training industry. Almost 100% of the top competitive shooters use them. You see super-high-speed tactical ninjas with Tier I credentials use them. They’re the […]
Sometimes (actually quite often) I find crossover between what I’m doing on the firearms training front and the rest of my life. Vision training is one of those areas. The same exercises that help me pick up my front sight faster also help me keep my eyes on the road more when I’m driving and […]
I’ve got a deceptively simple vision drill for you today that will help you with both-eyes-open shooting: You can do this drill at home leading up to your time at the range or at the range as a warm-up.Once you’re able to switch back and forth easily when you’re looking at your finger, start stretching […]
Another mass shooting. And the media has been quick to pile on half-truths and outright lies in order to manipulate youth who are easy to manipulate and adults who just don’t have the time or energy to dig into what they’re being told. So, today, I wanted to give you a quick and dirty rundown […]
Many police departments have a standard for their officers of needing do be able to draw and put 2 rounds on target in 1.5 seconds. As a result, many concealed carry and defensive pistol classes have also set that same standard. This is a good, solid standard that all shooters should aim for. Not just […]
