    I thought hell would freeze over before seeing Ben on Surefire's Field Notes.
    Nicely done, Surefire! Keep 'em coming!

    Not only is Ben great, he has a no BS attitude that the shooting community sorely needs.

    Solid advice.
    Pranka and Ben' advice on shooting has taken me to the next level, I'm still bad, but not that bad 🤣

    This is the most tactical I've ever seen Ben look. He even busted out the khaki pants for this one!

    Patterns, not groups. That's important because you've got to have that speed/accuracy balance. It's good to be able to shoot accurately, but if you're not shooting accurate enough, fast enough, you're going too slow.
    Ben's a helluva teacher, and it's worth taking his classes, or buying his books, or following his instagram. Because learning occurs every day, and it can be positive or it can be negative so make it positive learning.

      I was trained in my teens by leo guys from the 70s and 80s. A lot has changed and as I've grown up I've leaned hard on my more recent instruction. The last ccw Class instructor was a FBI swat instructor. He was a machine. Ive never seen anything like it in person. I try to train with dudes that stack bodies as much as possible now. The training is just different. Everything makes sense.

    Doubt I’ll get Ben to see this but I’m wondering if he thinks there’s any benefit to practicing doubles with a .22 to supplement the center fire ammo. Economics and all.

    • @jamespeters11603
      @jamespeters11603 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      No benefit. The gun recoils different, you won’t be building good grip. If you’re thinking it would be good for sight picture or gun handling, just do that in dryfire.

    Practice slow at first with the goal being “textbook” techniques. Then practice more until you are doing it correctly 99%+ of the time (or as close to that as you can), i.e; you are on “autopilot”, then add speed, but only after your technique is correct, and repeatable nearly 100% of the time (100% is better, but who does that? 😉). So the goals are to get to “textbook” and “autopilot”. Always: 1) Safety, 2) Accuracy, and 3) Speed in that order - and if you start to lose one of those back-up to the previous one and re-focus on: textbook, then autopilot (repeatable all the time). Good stuff 👍

    He said he shot 50,000 rounds let’s say there cheap and 30 cents a pop that’s $15,000 just in ammo and most rounds of 556 are 50-80cents so that could be 30k-45,000$ a year on ammo so no shit he’s good if I could spend 45,000 grand on ammo a year I’d be great to and that not even the total he has to spend range fees and gear and guns so maybe another 20k but I have no idea who he is someone said he’s a pro so I’m sure it’s all free for him I know I’m speaking to the wrong crowd but I lik to invest my money so I’m not going to spend more than lik 200$ a month on fun stuff but someone will say your life could be on the line ok I still would rather invest the majority of my extra income so I can have wealth and that can aid in my protection better security or home defense etc and I own land so I don’t have to pay a range but it’s crazy when u run the number so people spend I know people who have a 80k mobile home but yet they have a 80k truck and like 10-15k in guns and no saving zero equity no stocks credit card debt makes no sense to me they should have a 30k truck and a better home but hey there free Americans and literally like to burn there money in the form of hollow point 55 grain projectiles haha Merica fuck yeah

      You are missing the point of this video and also reinforcing what he is talking about. Ben has created arguably THE most in-depth dry-fire practice curriculum (his books) for a multitude of reasons, ammo cost being one of them. This whole video is talking about what to focus your live fire on if you have limited resources and time.

      @@SureFireLLC yeah sure it’s nice he gives the plebeians some tips but he didn’t get his skills by dry firing alone he shot a new F-150 trucks cost worth of rounds a year and yes I get it’s some advice and sure dry fire may be 40-50% of the game and help with some coordination but u still have a pretty different outcome when firing a projectile that has sound and pounds of haptic feedback in your hands it’s like sitting in your car with no gas and practicing for the race but hey great for him I like learning from skilled individuals apprenticeship is a awesome toll and I’m glad he shares tips but shooting real rounds is not the same as clincking a trigger on a empty weapon or if your even crazier those mantis things people but I would rather buy a 2005 edition of Time Crisis 4 and use the plastic gun and least it has some recoil haha I’m not trying to be a dick to the intern at sure fire in charge of the media responses but it’s true to learn a good majority of skills it’s cost money and that shooter clearly has spent tons there for he is likely very good let’s find some guy who has dry fired for years and give him some ammo and see how well he preforms probably not to well

      @@theBROKEbroker I made "Grandmaster" in USPSA firing less than 5000 rounds of ammunition in my life. This can be done with a lot less ammo than I currently shoot. I shoot 30k rounds a year just demonstrating drills in classes I think. I shoot more than a normal person (obviously) but you don't need as much ammo as me to get really good. I even run the same drills with different guns to learn to teach better. Normal people don't need to do that.

    Speed and accuracy isn’t nearly as important as shooting a different gun every time you go to the range.
    I mean, you already put your hands on it - and now you’re going to touch it again?!?!
    It’s equivalent to using the same toilet paper more than once - do everyone a favor and buy a different gun. It doesn’t have to be better, just different.

      That makes zero sense, especially if you are trying to improve.
      Whenever I ditch my snapping Hellcat for my steel 5" MP it makes me feel like Miculek with a laser beam energy weapon. But it does nothing to improve my grip, trigger and recoil control on my Hellcat.
      I'd say the opposite: stick to one until you master it. Especially if you are training to carry it.
