Post your training vids and drills

[asmo]

As I originally posted, I have no formal training.

I just thought this might be a fun thread to start and hopefully gain some knowledge from some of the more experienced shooters on the forum.

Isn't shooting supposed to be fun and a learning experience?

I wasn't trying to imply anything just giving out the list as a good place to start from.

Shooting and learning are both supposed to be good fun and I'm not in any way trying to impede that for anyone.

Part of the reason I that I thought this thread might not end well is that people, often times, do not take observations from others well. No matter how good the intentions.

Perhaps your tone is inappropriate... If you think it could be offensive, then keep it to yourself. You don't know who the person is on the other end.


Tinelement: the difficulty with critiquing a video is that little things such as trigger contol, balance, muscle tension, etc...cannot be seen in the video. There is no substitute for formal training and a video can only give you limited feedback, often only for the big things. Also, you need to see how you perform the fundamentals repeatedly, not a one time pre-planned show for the camera. Good idea starting a thread, however it's not something easily done. Keep up the training, keep saving for a class.

I understand everything being said here!!

I guess let's refocus the idea of the thread.

Post your training exercises.

video taping your shooting is an amazing way to critique which skills need to be improved. I know many grand master shooters utilizing video to review and then work on improving where and how they shoot. Its used a lot by competition shooters. Unfortunately, it's almost never used in LE or military training.

Shooting and moving at the same time with any amount of skill or accuracy takes a lot of practice. Without training the basics of a decent stance and grip, it's even harder.

Good point, however I disagree with your opinion on video use in LE/mil. (that's why shoothouses have many cameras...). The difference is the level of shooters we are talking about. A GM trying to shave off a few tenths of a second vs. someone who is newer and still working on the fundamentals....big difference when comparing video feeds.
