I don't learn from Leatham videos anything other than my impression, which is "hey, this guy has a huge ego." His career competition results are obviously impressive, for sure!

“Meaningful repetitions” of the draw stroke restated, is to practice many hundreds of slow & form-perfect repetitions. Neuroscience tells us this establishes muscle memory, the formation of Myelin in the brain’s neurons. This encoding by repetition enables the subconscious performance of precise motor skills. Therefore, we practice enough slow & mechanically perfect presentations of the gun that can later be performed quickly from the subconscious upon demand.

"Neuroscience" has not proved this scientifically. I agree with the idea that practice builds ability to execute. It doesn't help anyone get better to pontificate wrongly about "neuroscience" and talking about "myelin" is just throwing around words you heard but don't understand. Please don't do that, it just complicates a simple idea. I took my ugrad degree in Biology, and I would never talk like that about practice or skills refinement, because I know it's a big bagful of pseudoscience to say "science has proved" something that it has NOT proved clearly. Science does not prove. It DISPROVES false hypotheses.

@Sean O'Neil, couldn’t disagree with you more. Tip: You lose credibility out of the gate when you foolishly presume what you “think” others either know or don’t know. I likewise have a degree in biology (microbiology emphasis), and it’s only by dedicated countless repetitions of a correct handgun draw-stroke that I have advanced in my competencies with a gun. You chastised my mention of elements of the biology of neurological learning only to digress by alluding to the scientific method in a uncorrokated broadbrush as if it somehow refutes my prior assertions. The fact is as I’ll reiterate, that it is not voodoo magic that repetition of musculature motion just happens to establish motor skill sets, but rather, that this subconscious learning is intrinsically tied to biological (neurological) processes. In short, it’s guaranteed your brain is wired to gain motor skill competencies via purposeful repetitions of desired activities, such as slow repetitions of a draw stroke with a gun; such is incontrovertible as it is validated across the gamut of all human motor skill training. Understand I was merely providing validation to Pat Mac’s teaching. Likewise, others as Chris Sajnog, retired Navy Seal and recognized firearms expert in training top tier gunslingers from his dedication to learning & practice in the physiology of motor skills training would concur with my post.

Far too many people wait until they are basically at full presentation to get a sight picture and/or get that finger on the trigger - too much time wasted fumbling around at the end.

@seanoneil277

Like all things, you have to work up to it slowly. If you try to do it before your presentation is both repeatably solid and reasonably flat, you'll likely touch off rounds at the wrong time (too early) and that can be dangerous, as well as costly (a thrown away round at $0.35 or more each time).

Getting a red dot on my pistol really showed me what I was doing wrong with my presentation. It greatly amplified everything I was doing wrong and it was easy to correct after you were able to see it

Thank you for these SGM. Gold.

Love this new tid bit series out in the garden.

I have a buddy who in a LEO and he trains new recruits in my area to pass their shooting quals. He told me about a drill they use where he tapes a cup on the wall (open side towards shooter) at the exact height where their pistol is when extended and presented. Then has them draw INTO the cup. Its an awesome drill because it forces you to "push" straight out. If you are "fishing" or "bowling" at all you will knock the edge of the cup

Timing these videos so I can watch a block in the am helps set the tone and gives me the day to practice what I learned. Good teaching, Teach

Always usable data! Thank you!

I don't even own a firearm and still practice drawstrokes and dryfiring with my Airsoft pistol. You never know when it will come in handy and it is relaxing. I watch PatMac because I really like his teaching style. He doesn't only teach you how, but also WHY.

"Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast"

Love your stuff brother. Just got into guns and competitions 2 years ago… to help me prepare for self defense scenarios. Now… I’m started to teach newbies everything I’ve learned. Watching your videos helps me confirm and refresh what I’ve learned… especially before I go teach a group. Thanks again.

I've been drawing against time with a beeper AND video the procedure from different angles. Now there's time, accuracy and "style" to be analyzed. Value here is that all those variables forces me to think, improve and therefore execute more quality draws.

I started this exercise awhile back because of one of your videos and I didn’t realize how messed up my draw really was. I love this method.

The late Ron Avery/Tactical Performance Center Trigger Stripe Drill target is a great range or dry fire target for draw and presentation as well as helping to work thru trigger press irregularities.

I learned from Rob Leatham (on his channel) how much more important a tight grip is more important than trigger. "Because you're going to slap the trigger".

Almost 20 meaningful repetitions in less than 3 minutes, amazing.

My humble opinion: Murphy’s Law is constant and unforgiving. Reducing opportunities for Murphy should be factored in. An “acceptable sight picture” still applies at “bad breath distance.” Acceptable, to me, would mean at, let’s say 24 inches pelvis to pelvis, knowing that your muzzle from your hip is oriented to the other guy’s midsection and not your own thigh. When I talk to people about concealed carry, I tell them there are two standards that you will have to meet every day: - Do not shoot your self. - Do not shoot someone you do not mean to shoot. Those two rules still apply if your day suddenly involves shooting. Train accordingly.

@nbonner75

@@untilvalhalla7854 your two standards are good but I think some first-hand experience with close range gun fighting might change your perspective on the practical application of those two standards. Some gun fights are truly metal-on-meat (often while rolling on the ground) - there is no opportunity for any type of sight picture under those conditions. I always get a kick out of watching NRA-certified “trainers” showing off their modified isosceles stance to punch neat little holes in a piece of paper that’s holding nice and still and making no attempt to shoot back or close with them and kill them. I don’t care how good your situational awareness is, some fights start well inside 3 meters. If your training doesn’t account for that very real possibility, I wish you all the best and will see you on the other side. Yes, watch your background for non-combatants. Yes, have enough spacial awareness to know when your muzzle is covering something you don’t want to shoot. But train to the conditions you KNOW are likely to occur in realistic situations. Bad people are predators - they use the element of surprise and avoid a “fair fight”. They want to get the drop on you. They will be “off sides” - you need to make up time in a fight. You won’t do that by settling into your stance and getting that perfect sight picture.
