Their targets can be used with the academy or at the range.

@@kyler.kinsey1188 that's awesome to hear. I'm glad this helped you.

Thanks. Just because you teach basic pistol, doesn't mean your knowledge should be basic. The drill drives home the point to continue your training even for simple tasks.

Stance is irrelevant. Just needs to be comfortable and solid. The NRA doesn't prescribe to any type of grip or stance.

Thank you for taking the time to give me advise, many thanks. Have a nice day.

She was safe the whole class but actually had to put in more work than anyone else. Overall she did well enough to pass. This one drill before class begins demonstrates everyone's abilities right out of the gate. Lets me know who has the most experience and who needs the most work. It also sets the bar higher than any were expecting from the Basic NRA Pistol Instructor course.

I assume you meant to say socks. They're not big at all and very flexible. Also these socks were made for full size men.

@@dynamiccombativesolutionsl5358 😹 🤣

Not really. There are many look alike guns that use blanks and the barrels are sealed shut and don't take normal ammunition so you can't feed it a live round even if you wanted to. It cycles, there's noise, there's smoke, and much safer. Movie companies know this and have strict policies regarding safety so.................never say never.......but you have to violate a shit ton of rules to have an accidental discharge there. "Hint, hint".....

Thanks!

Yes

So how would I answer the question about cannabis on the 4473?

I'm sorry it took so long to reply. I just saw this. St Action Pro 9mm Orange Safety Trainer Dummy Round 10 Rounds www.amazon.com/dp/B004KZ357G/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_H7M7CC1V24ZZ6ZWBRVRD

Snap caps is a name brand, uses a spring for center fire cartridges, are plastic and fragile for anything other than just dry fire. Dummy rounds are better for practicing malfunctions and such with constant rechambering. .22lr are rim fire. They make a solid aluminum dummy round but I find that once it's dented, you will have to rotate to a clean area to dry fire again. Repeated use in the same place can still cause wear to firing pin as it eventually strikes the breach face.

In the video, my target was the little black dot as a frame of reference so you can see contrast. I choose small things up close so when you press the trigger any tiny movement can be observed. At the range, you'll likely use a large silhouette within 21ft which is too forgiving for truly practicing accuracy IMHO. Aim small, miss small.

@@dynamiccombativesolutionsl5358 Thanks i just bought a GSG Firefly 22lr and I’m practicing at the Range so I’m going to take your Advice, you the Man

@@dr.knuckles9149 so just be careful with any .22lr as most can not be dryfired for practice. Read the owners manual. Some can use "dummy" ammo, but recently I heard if a firing pin breaking even with the use of the aluminum "dummy" ammo. Possibly use an airsoft (without) bb's in the house, just for sight picture and trigger work. Will help immensely build habits for success at the range.

Thanks.

So it varies by manufacturer at 21ft. If your target is a circle, some guns you hold just below the target so the top of the sight touches the bottom of the circle target. Others you cut the circle target in half and some you would cover your target with the front sight. All of this doesn't matter because if they have aftermarket sights like trijicon, it will change. Your best bet it's to put up a 1" circle mark on your target at 21' aim at the center and shoot three rounds. If it groups tightly together then you're a good shooter and the group will tell you where to aim. Also, the average 9mm drops about 12" every 100yrds so target distance matters. You can use a ruler from the center of your bore to the tip of your site and see they are not aligned. We call that the height over bore. Point blank you'll likely be at 1". As you move back to 21' you will match and that is zero. In theory, at 42' you'll likely be an in low again and continue dropping lower as you move back. Why does this matter? You'll want to know where to aim at what distance for maximum accuracy as well as acceptable sight picture. Up close for defensive shooting, not as important as the T-Box head shot. (Eyes and nose makes a T) Hope this helps. Our precision pistol class teaches you how to do all of this and repeat it.

@@dynamiccombativesolutionsl5358Thank you for responding. I will apply this information at the range, and will reach out for more knowledge. Thank you again and please continue to post your videos they are helpful for me as new pistol owner. Best regards.

Hi Dave I hope you are well. I did implement the techniques that you informed me. I am hitting the target more often and have a better idea of where I am aiming. I have been using a target with rings around the center black circle there is about an inch offset per circle. My shots land with in the black circle and next outer 2 rings, but I have a new question. My 3 shot and pause to look they don't group closely about .5 to 3in distance from one another overall. When I shoot an entire mag (10rounds CT) I am reaching 40% in target and rest are are 10 o clock or 6 o'clock area so the question are 1. How much distance from one shot to another should I be aiming for? A 2. What would be cause my awkward triangle 3 shots am I sweeping or somthing? I look forward to your reply. Thank you again for share your knowledge with me and everyone.

@@RoarXII what distance? I'm assuming right handed because if ten O'Clock. What size circles? Of you can take pictures or even video and send to my contact email on www.dcs.training I can give you better feedback. Also 3" at 25yrds is damn good, at 3 yards we can definitely diagnose and fix. Also, show me a photo of how you grip with one hand so I can check the fit if the firearm which okays a big role for accuracy.

@@dynamiccombativesolutionsl5358The distance was about 22ft. I am ambidextrous but primarily I use my left hand and left eye. I will send video and picture of shooting the range. I will send grip picture a little later due to my fire arm is not with at this time.

Great question! Myelination of the proper draw stroke brings your sights on target quicker. Within 21ft the front sight needs to be anywhere in the rear notch to hit center mass of a full size silhouette. Dry fire practice will help you see this acceptable sight picture more quickly. When people talk about both eyes open for combat shooting, this is so you don't close off half if your world and loose peripheral view. You can squint to accomplish the stronger eye dominance. They don't have to be completely open. So to answer your question. You want both eyes open all the time, but squinting is allowed, you want a good sight picture however within 21ft it is less perfect. And lastly the fastest shooters are the fastest because they practice enough to always see their sights on target, the target size and distance dictate what's acceptable. Hope that helps.

Thank you. This is for NRA "basic" pistol. Load, point, shoot, civilian. But I think someone who wants to take on even this simple challenge, should be expected to perform using the same as his/her students with their firearm. Because I have had so many uniquely challenging students sign up for an intro class, it took me a while to learn what was truly necessary and expected.

Not a dumb question at all. Good observation. It changes. So in the video I am aiming at the black dot. Factory Glock sights have you split your target in half at 21ft. Springfield may have you cover the target and Sig may have you aim below. Each manufacturer zero's their sights slightly differently at 21ft. Also, when you change your sights for an aftermarket set, it may change again because they may be a different height. Lastly, as you move in closer to the target you may about 1" of separation from the height to the actual bore the. As you move back it come together at zero then start to shift further apart the more distance you get. From 100 yards you should have about 12" of drop and then it gets worse at 200+. Depending on the ammunition weight, speed, air density etc. Hope that helps.

@@dynamiccombativesolutionsl5358 thanks for the informative answer chief, appreciate it.

@@dynamiccombativesolutionsl5358 what do you mean by split your target in half?

@@nolagospeltracts8264 draw an imaginary line through the middle of your target left to right then cover the bottom half with your front sight.

@@dynamiccombativesolutionsl5358 thanks

They're picture's. It's dry fire. Let's not get rediculous. But as long as you brought it up, what's wrong with having shoot, no shoot targets when training? Certainly if you're out with your family you may have to shoot near them. It might be good to have these mental images while practicing to help you stay focused?

Thank you very much. We're currently working diligently to make more soon. Much more on dry fire tools and drills everyone can do from home. If there is a specific interest in something let us know and we'll do our best to make it for you. God bless.

Thanks for the feedback. Enjoy the journey.

Yup, he had to requalify later.

These are things we're looking for to see if it's their first attempt or do they have experience. Gives us an opportunity to explain why they should start working on it now before they face the questions from students.
