We want to hear from you! Did you find this video helpful? Are you going to try it out at the range?
Yes...for sure think that I am gripping/firing...good to know that they need to be split up. Cheers!
Absolutely. Thinking I may have found some more bad habits! Thanks much!
Absolutely like this content.
Absolutely, yes.
Yes
The channel content with Wilson, Ayoob, Seeklander and Hackathorn is some of the best informative and instructional content that I've seen. Thank you.
Love this kind of content Mike. This has helped a lot of become a better shooter. Thanks much for the knowledge share.
I think through dry firing practice that I’ve discovered an improvement in my pistol accuracy. I think that I have not been applying enough pressure in my grip. I see less movement during dry firing with more grip pressure. Can’t wait to get back to the range to prove my suspicion.
Get that suppprtvhand all up in the frame
good video. straight to the point. "grip then pull" "good trigger control is good grip control" is a golden nugget.
I don't think about can get to much information and training when it comes to fire arms. The more knowledge you have the more effective you'll become. Might just save your life in a critical situation. Happy shooting everyone. 😉👍👍
Great tips. I’ll add that when he mentions gripping during firing a big culprit for many is gripping/squeezing with the pinky. People dont apply enough pressure wi5 the pinky until they are also pulling the trigger and when that pinky applies pressure it pulls the muzzle low and left
When I apply pressure with nmy pinky as I raise my gun it brings my red dot down from 12 o'clock. Then I don't have to be looking for it. I feel like my pinky decreases the travel of my barrel. I just started thinking about my pinky recently, now you say it causes problems....lol
Amazing segment, great rules for speed and accuracy improvement and concise enough that they can be consciously applied at the range. Mr. Seeklander you are not only a champion performer but instructor as well. Also Love the Hackathorn and Ayoob content. Thank you WC.
Great way of explaining the fundamentals. I just need to practice them more.
Working on my trigger control for competitive shooting. This was very helpful.
I subscribed today even though I've seen videos on this channel featuring Masad Ayoob. But I hadn't seen these type of videos before, which are very valuable, easy to understand, and to the point. The brevity of the videos allow me to understand sufficiently without getting bored or confused with information overload. I am not new to guns but I am not even a beginner in conceal carrying. I purchased my first subcompact, a S&W Shield chambered in .40, about 6 years ago. I modified it by stippling it, replacing the guide rod and spring, porting it, and adding a Crimson Trace light-green laser My plans to conceal carry it never materialized because of my improper understanding of the right to bear arms. I was denied a permit because I'm not part of the elite that is issued one without question. Because I live in one of the worst counties and states of the US, I was conditioned to believe that a permit was necessary to exercise a basic civil right. Hopefully I'll be able to find an instructor like Mike so I can recondition myself to practice and enjoy shooting once again, and learn valuable new skills.
Welcome aboard!
Good fundamentals and practice make good shooters. Good stuff...thanks
My cop-in-law taught me how to shoot. He was expert instructor for the San Antonio police department.
Train in one hand point shooting. You'll be super lucky to ever even get the front sight much less two hands on your handgun! Self-defense shootings take place mostly at 10 feet or less. Train on that. Any further you may get charged for homicide.
You will freak out on the difference in accuracy between 10 yards vs.10 feet.
Train train train until it's muscle memory!
But training at further distances will still improve your aim, even at 10 feet. Why cut out the more difficult parts of your training ?
@@DeadNoob451 Further distances will get you a murder charge .
@@DeadNoob451 Next time you go to a gun range, try the difference. You'll be shocked at first as you were trained on distance. Much more difficult at 10 feet. Weird .
@@DeadNoob451 A handgun is just that.
Distance is for a rifle.
@@DeadNoob451 Shoot and kill somebody past 20 feet you'll get a charge of first degree murder .
Only cops can do that. Exempt officers of the court .
Great advice! As an instructor I love learning more to help me shoot better and teach others to shoot better
I was taught the old NRA dogma of "follow-through" on the trigger -- that is, pinning the trigger to the rear after you have shot. As Mike points out, that slows down follow-up shots. It is one of the hardest habits for me to break. Follow-through might make sense for bullseye shooting, but it's not helpful for action shooting.
Same here. So much to learn, right?!
At very close range on large targets you might be right, but as the distance increases, your accuracy will rapidly fall off. Follow-through helps eliminate flinching and aids in calling the shot. With practice you can speed up this process, but if you abandon it, your accuracy will suffer. Sometimes speed has to be dialed down, depending on the range and difficulty of the shot. I do not train to shoot one single scenario, so I always try to practice the fundamentals when the target is more than a few feet away.
I only teach pining back for just the first shot for about 5 rounds or so for a new shooter. It helps to reinforce them keeping the gun out there while it recovers back to the sight picture. It carries over into subsequent rounds.
Trigger hold for beginners and marksmenship. To shoot fast listen to Mike!!
PROPER instruction utilizing grip, quick reset, finger placement control and now it's time to practice dry firing !!!!
Maintaing the 90 grade pressure on the trigger is a real challenge as the hands of people are different and distance of travel of the trigger is different and the weight of the trigger is different and the reset travel is different. That's the reason some people shoot better some guns than other ones
Great information as always
Love this kind of content...
I would like to see more of Mike on the Wilson Combat channel.
Great video! Thanks for the tips.
Love this content Mike!
Small details to focus on are greatly appreciated.
Love it keep doing those types of videos
I understand the introduction of the "young guns" to attract a new generation of fans and they will be valuable training resources in 10, 20, and 30 years. However, there is still years, decades even, of untapped knowledge, experience, and skill in the "Old Guard" which all generations of shooters can benefit from.
I always need to try to improve my firing sequence . So yes , I will definitely try this at the range and yes I liked this video very much.
I always watch these videos they are very good and I always come away with something new
Good video, looking forward to the series.
Enjoyed this video a lot. Thank you
Great content on Willson Combat channel
Thank you for the cool tips.
Mike provides some of best firearms instruction on the tube!
Some great Tips Mike. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Good stuff...will work on it Monday. 👏
Great video. Practiced the 'TIPS' at the range this afternoon. They DID improve my accuracy. Thank you Mike.
I couldn't read all the comments here but did read many of them. One thing I specifically noticed was that when someone posted a differing or dissenting opinion they were not mobbed by the "true believers" commenting here. They were allowed to state their point and didn't come under unrestrained heavy fire as I have seen happen on other gun channels. It makes this channel all the more needed as a source of consistent quality content. All you guys and gals commenting here give yourselves a pat on the back for being the responsible and well-reasoning human beings you are. It seems you not only believe in our second amendment but our first as well. Thank you for your value-added contributions to making this learning experience pleasant as well as informative.
Thank you - appreciate your videos. Instruction vids are always welcome!
You are welcome!
Thanks Mike. Always enjoy you bits of wisdom.
Very welcome
Super helpful advice and demonstration. Thank you much!
Yes, and yes!
I love this type of content keep it coming
Outstanding....a excellent reminder that its just the fundamentals mastered.
I like it, I love it, I want more of it!!
Always good content on this channel. Thanks
Our pleasure!
Good video, it's great to revisit these points periodically no matter who you are or how long you've been shooting , Thanks
This guy is a great speaker/instructor.
I enjoy your instructions very much. There is always something I can learn from a shooter of your caliber.
Great content thank you sir !
Outstanding video! Can’t wait to practice this.
You got this!
Excellent advice. I will try this tomorrow. Both dry fire and actually firing.
Good information please continue @WilsonCombat
Mike, your videos are always so informative. Thanks for everything.
Very welcome
Very helpful. The more time I spend practicing these tips combined with dry fire & Dime drills, the better I shoot. Thanks!
I really like your simplistic and straight forward approach to your advice, it’s not hard to go away and train towards these techniques at the range 👍
Great content!
Very helpful information mike, thanks for sharing it!
Glad it was helpful!
Extremely informative as always ! As new pistol shooters, my wife and I are looking for solid information from people who know what they are talking about and can share info in a manner that is easily understood - Mike does that ! Please keep up this kind of amazing content . Thanks Mike ! 👍
I love this kind of content. I can’t wait for more.
Glad to see you also teaching with a mix of compacts and subcompacts. I am of the impression that most newbies are buying high-capacity polymer subs for EDC which makes those particular videos all the more relevant and practical for meeting their needs.
Right on
Great advice Mike! Thanks so much, no question that is going to help.
Happy to help!
Love it. More content like this!!!
