Taking Time Off
Monday, January 9th, 2012For many people, the holidays are a time to take a break from shooting. Whether it's family obligations, weather, or just plain old burn out after a long season of dedicated practice, it can actually be good to step away from the gun for a little bit. What is often overlooked ...
Goals 2012
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011Shoot the F.A.S.T. clean every time when demonstrating in class. There is a direct correlation to my accuracy during the test and students' accuracy. When I shoot it clean, the students are more likely to. Instead of trying to set my personal record in front of students each time, I'm ...
Giving Thanks
Thursday, November 24th, 2011When looking back at my shooting career, it's easy to forget some of the most important influences in my life. I'd like to thank my parents. Neither of them shoots. They don't own any guns. My mother, a diehard Massachusetts Democrat, tried in vain to keep me from even having toy ...
Why Training?
Friday, November 18th, 2011So I've been reading through 167's last month of blog posts and came upon this awesome gem: So instead of seeking out quality instruction so that we can practice well on our own time, we just go hit the nail harder with the same old hammer and end up bending the ...
Square Range
Tuesday, November 15th, 2011How often have you heard someone denounce "square range" training as being unrealistic and impractical? It's become almost a sport unto itself... mostly among those who don't have the guts to try shooting sports, but that's another issue. The argument essentially boils down to this: Because there are other things in addition ...
Goals
Wednesday, November 9th, 2011The first thing ever written at pistol-training.com was about the importance of having goals. Each practice session should involve goals and a plan to achieve that goal. That's easy. All it requires is a little bit of thought in advance. Recently, I had a random fellow at the range approach me and ...
My Favorite
Tuesday, November 8th, 2011A student and I have been discussing the merits of various trigger systems both in a thread at pistol-forum.com and via private message. He's a talented shooter with a lot of experience shooting numerous different pistol types. The gist of the discussion came down to a simple fact: he likes something ...
New Drill
Monday, October 3rd, 2011The 4567 Drill, developed in conjunction with Glock Professional Inc's Chris Edwards, has been posted in the Drills section. The 4567 is a quick skill assessment of 2H, SHO, and WHO speed & marksmanship. It has a scaled PAR time (much like the F.A.S.T.) to identify skill level and goals. You can ...
My Left Hand
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011For whatever reason, there has been a great deal of online discussion lately about what to call one-handed shooting. My name has been brought up in a couple of these debates so I thought I'd at least put forth my thought process on the issue. I'm right handed. We all know ...
