Like Eyes In The Back Of Your Head: Situational Awareness

Like Eyes In The Back Of Your Head: Situational Awareness

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, […]

Shooting From Your Back: The 3 Legged Tabletop Drill

Shooting From Your Back: The 3 Legged Tabletop Drill

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 […]

Is it quicker to present from your holster than from low ready?

Are You Faster From Your Holster or the Low Ready?

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 […]

Two Common AR-15 Training Errors and How to Fix Them

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 […]

Pistol Training In Your Car: Could Make You a Safer Driver

Pistol Training In Your Car: Can It Make You a Safer Driver?

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 […]
