I’m a teenager coming from a liberal family, and I’m super disappointed that I’ve never gotten the opportunity to participate in something as fun as shooting. Colion’s videos have made me want to eventually get into competitive shooting, and every day I watch some kind of gun content that only deepens my love for firearms. Go staccato!!

@rbm6184

Жыл бұрын

I agree. That is why everyone should run a combat course of fire at least once to feel the pressure of time and making hits.

It's all about efficiency of movement. Like Michelle said, the speed of shots isn't the focus, it's the movement between the shots is where all the time is either gained or lost. That's especially important in PRS. Quickly moving from one position to the next, building a solid position, get on target THEN slow down on your shots. Two words, dry fire. Speed will come but you definitely have to work at it. Any sport can be extremely humbling but it's very rewarding. The shooting community is filled with fantastic people always willing to help "new" shooters out.

Saw Brooke shoot and first thing that came to mind was Sarah Connor in Terminator 2 ha ha. Excellent episode

That was cool! Two of my group of favorite shooters/guntoobers in the same video. Awesome video by Colion, including Tony, Brooke and of course, Michelle!

What I really enjoy about this channel is the diversity of content. You cover fun ones like this and a real world perspective to serious problems. I appreciate what you do with this channel.

What a genuinely spontaneous practice session. Also, don’t be afraid of embarrassing yourself. You shoot well enough already that you’ll probably do just fine. I was way nervous at my first comp, but I definitely want to participate in more of them and improve!

It's very popular, its also not tactical so military/ law enforcement short circuit when they see run and gun.

As a new shooter, new to the world of firearms in general and now carrying daily, this is the next level of training I'm looking into, practical application/training. At first blush, this is mildly intimidating with my "basic" shadow systems MR920 carry pistol. No high speed, special purpose equipment here. Just a kydex holster and magazines in my pocket. That's how I walk around, that's how I want to train. But what this highlights is what I've found, a great community. Regardless of level, equipment, or training goals, this community is all about everyone getting better, sharing knowledge, and lifting people up. It's great!! To new shooters, breaking down that stigma is huge. Keep it up.

Reminds me of some advice some old shooters told me, Those are games (with guns). Will it help you shoot, a little. But until the targets are shooting back at you, it is still just games!

I think it would be cool to see you interview Matt pranka and Ben stoeger. Matt’s take on practical shooting is fascinating because of which unit he came from.

Thank you for the video. And, as always, good advice given.

One thing I loved about this guy is how he talked about staying low while on the move. I remember doing martial arts for years, and my teachers kick you in the back of the leg if you were bouncing up and down while doing katas. It makes a difference in maintaining form, regardless of rather its shooting, fighting, or lifting weights.

Like you I enjoy shooting and have for years. I got my first rifle when I was 7 years old. I grew up around guns and have the upmost respect for them. I have some really old ones as well. I took one to a gunsmith for an inspection and good cleaning and he was amazed as he had never seen this type of rifle before. I went to pick it up and he told me it was made in 1947 and for it's age was in excellent condition. We shot it the other day and my son said he was not expecting that kind of recoil and watching the video the 2nd shot you could see him tighten up on it. The rifle we were shooting was a 35 cal. Remington.

Nice. Love seeing this competitive content and some banter. 😂😊

Proper Practice Prevents Poor Performance

Excuses! Just do it, dive in and take the first step and just get started. Things we say we want to do, but don't have the "time" to do - that it is just excuses. Get started and if it's for you, you will make the time to do it more regularly. What's better than training and repetition, with the competition part of it as a motivation factor to get better, and in the end you will have more experience if that moment comes when you need to protect yourself or others. You will also probably get some kind of content out of it, win-win!

Love watching your videos Colion, I learn a lot from shooting to the 2nd amendment fight

I shot idpa for a little over a decade (I live pretty close to club 1 so it's very popular in my area) and it's a fantastic way to learn and grow from a pure shooting technique standpoint, I miss doing it on a weekly basis but the local range that did idpa nights weekly closed down during lockdowns

Very cool seeing you put yourself out there.

I think without practice, I've shot enough that under most cases, I would do ok. But, I know that my odds go way up, more so if multiple targets, the more you practice. One thing that really showed this to me was while in the Marines, I had a 45cal. 1911 and as much ammo as I wanted to shoot. The 45 had a bent front sight, but in a short time I could unload on a moving soda can or hit a bird on a power line, with out even thinking about the bent sight. For that gun to me or my fellow Marine around me, it had to do what was needed and I didn't want it hitting something that didn't need hitting like a civilian or follow Marine.

I want to say this. I am really enjoying the drills and the instruction. I shoot idpa and this is going to help for sure

Great video, always looking forward to seeing the next one.

I don't own a firearm yet, and won't own one for carry till I get training. I don't like the idea that I would use it inappropriately, and potentially cause more of a problem. Thanks for the USCCA info :)
