Love this. I instinctively learned this while shooting USPSA. Also learned that within 5-7 yards, if you have good fundamentals, you can point shoot and your rounds will go exactly where you were looking. Add a red dot to all of this and your speed is wild. - Love the Amy part. Takes the reality and seriousness to the next level. And I love the x, squares, circles, and triangles. Taking that too. Thank you!
Wow! I didn't realize that nearly 10 minutes had gone by watching that! Great level of instruction, consistent delivery of points and observations, and clear explanation of everything. Well done, sir!
I know a master instructor when I see one, and this guy is one. Patient but serious, doesn’t beat ya up on mistakes, constructive criticism. Amazing I have got to get a class in.
That’s what these guys don’t understand they assume everyone has access to ranges where you can do whatever drill you want. Most ranges I been don’t care if you rapid fire, you’re right about drawing
@@EnriquetheSquirrel that may be, but now they take the fun out of shooting and have ruined it for countless people about the idea of going to a range to shoot
@@YellowjacketGTO that may be… but it’s the poor attitudes that turn off new shooter. No point in a range that won’t let you shoot/ train the way you will fight.
@@BBslider001 thank you! I was just there in the DFW area last month! We will be adding more dates for 2025 for Texas soon! Please subscribe to the website to stay up to date on the next time we will be in Texas.
Haven’t even taken one of AHT courses yet , however this instructor Cadre is one of the best I’ve watched ! Incredible critical thinking skill sets and Tutelage
Awesome Rick, you a great instructor. I followed your videos wit UF Pro, phantastic. The straight, relaxt head hold is a keypoint ,shooting a pistol. Every one is much better when He is doing it.😎
Remember, kids: all the training in the world is useless if you don’t CARRY YOUR WEAPON with you when you leave your house. Every excuse makes your training useless and a waste of time. And you must go on the street just like you go to the range, right? So if you train with 12 magazines, you must carry 12 magazines on the street. Never be in a gunfight and have your last thought be: If I Only Had My Gun…..
Amazing instructor! Love these knowledgeable videos so much. Free knowledge and skill people should use! Are those AHT targets ever gonna be available in the shop?
The faster you shootthe wider the group. Holes in target matter more than groups. Target shooting is not tactical sbooting . If you always worry about group sizes in a fight you will shoot slower.
Question: how vital are the splits so long as your first shot lands? Say you draw, get your first shot off at 1.10 seconds or faster, then have splits of .3-.4 to pull your group in tighter and hit the a zone. Since you’ve already made impact on target once and they’re likely starting to be slowed down, do super fast splits mean life or death still?
I literally have become a better shooter by watching these videos. Thanks, AHT, but I have to also ask ... what gun and modifications to it was being shot in this video? Never seen pistols shoot so level, before.
This also depends on red dots vs iron sights. I know fantastic shooters who shoot in a 5 inch circle at 5 yards and it takes 3 seconds with iron sights.
Damn that shooter holds the gun near flat and it doesn't show on the target from distance. Never would have guessed it was vertically stringing. Nice work teach
How do you stopping feeling nervous when in a confrontation so you don’t shake like your in a hurricane,is there a way to train that reaction out of your system??
Yea ranges differ for sure. Gun clubs are the way to go if you can afford them but in today’s economy I can’t dump 1200 bucks a year for something I may utilize once a month. The public range is 13 dollars for the entire day and depending on the foot traffic the instructors are flexible with how you choose to shoot especially if you get to know them and build a relationship with them.
My local range will hang me upside down by my toes in the parking lot if I shoot faster then 1 round every 1-2 seconds lol. Wish I had my own property to practice
Nothing wrong with starting slow. Once you have developed your abilities, you can work on increasing your speed. This is best case scenario. Not all situations that require firing a gun need 5+ shots, and there's no guarantee you can get your target and now you might have used up 5 rounds. That's why you'll often hear of self defense shootings and even police only using 2 shots. They usually know how to adapt to the situation at hand and not go crazy.
shootings dont usually end without a heart or headshot or maybe a pelvic shot people are extremely resilient so anything but a few immediate vital shots and youre gonna have more holes than you did when you woke up that day and most police shootings you see shoot ALOT more than twice just go take a look at police activity's channel and the average range for shootings depending on where you look is 3-7 yards where accuracy is almost a guarantee unless your firearm is for decoration or fashion thats why you focus on speed
That rso sucks, i used to work there, they showed us a video that shows a difference from shooting fast to rapid fire, as long as you have full control & consistent grouping the rso shouldnt say a damn thing
*Rick Crawley is the top best firearms instructor there is. Period. Full stop. Rick's vast knowledge, life experience, and ability to articulate and convey his thoughts are extraordinarily amazing! If you can't learn from him, then shooting is not for you.*
This drill seems best suited to help rich folks burn up a lot of ammo. Why shoot 5 shots in 2 seconds with a 3-foot spread? Two well-placed shots in 2 seconds will do a much better job.
Perhaps if this video didn't start mid-sentence there might be something to provide a conceptual basis for evaluating what is being taught. As it is, the drill and the results, to this shooter, are unimpressive. Perhaps some people are happy with a 20 yard target that looks as if it has been shot with a sawn-off .410 loaded with buckshot, but I am not. In the past you learned to shoot as fast as possible without compromising accuracy. Head-shots do not count if your point of aim is center of mass; they are just randomly lucky. For me, there is nothing to be proud of in a 3-foot shot spread and 20% miss rate (one shot in five) on a man-size target at 20 yards. There are better drills if you want to shoot effectively.
@@davidmacnab5213 Again - I still think you're taking the results of this drill and applying them to a pure marksmanship drill. I was Marine Corps infantry, specifically on a FAST team and spent a lot of time in shoot houses dumping pistol ammo, and spreads like this would have been completely unacceptable on any day, because all that was evaluated was grouping outwards from center mass. That is not the point of this drill. And I disagree with the "impressive" factor - I don't think you could draw and fire 5 rounds in 2 seconds and hit anything near the spread that this guy hit at 25 yards - I'll bet you wouldn't get more than the first round - if that - on target. He got 24/25 rounds on target. In a true firefight where fractions of a second matter, he's winning against you or I simply as a virtue of having trained this drill.
@@davidmacnab5213 You're probably a better bullseye shot than me and this guy is DEFINITELY a better practical shooter than me. Hopefully we both get to expand our view a bit and we both stay safe out there! Good luck brother.
Holly crap, amazing instructor.

Dang when he assigned that missed bullet a Name...Bro Mind Blown...I need to practice with that mindset.
Most shooting ranges don’t allow rapid fire or drawing from a holster. So you go back to group sizes
You need to find those outdoor club ranges & go early or late when nobody else is there 😉
That’s what these guys don’t understand they assume everyone has access to ranges where you can do whatever drill you want. Most ranges I been don’t care if you rapid fire, you’re right about drawing
yup, my range doesn't allow either. My biggest problem is, I had bad acne as a teen and can't grow a cool beard. 😄😄
Ann arbor arms does if you're there with the AHT bois
Find a range and an instuctor who does - you will learn so much more than doing this.
Every fudd range needs to hear this!
Fudds could take down a dude with 3 bullets or less in their prime.
@@EnriquetheSquirrel that may be, but now they take the fun out of shooting and have ruined it for countless people about the idea of going to a range to shoot
Its not

"I didn't leave the canvas so I can continue painting it." Brilliant. One of a kind, Rick.
Great block of instruction! Glad to see more instructors teaching this!
Ive always done this drill but slow down a ton at 20 and 25. Gonna try it fast next time
That instructor is really switched on, great video👍🏾
amazing video... good teaching style- informative, direct, relevant to actual gunfights... i was captivated!
Just happened upon this channel in my feed. This was great. I am going to try this drill.
🤙🏼 stoked to hear it!

Stoked to have your support! Hope to see you in a class soon!
Is this instructor the GOAT?
Phenomenal instruction and breakdown!!
This instructor is amazing
Would like to see from concealment carry.
I was thinking the same thing. This seems like great training for civilians carrying red dot mounted pistols with law enforcement carry rigs.
Very impressive instruction. Well done
Wow great instructor 👍👍👍
Greats from Belgium

Looks like it was comped by the upward muzzle flash
Excellent video!
This also depends on red dots vs iron sights. I know fantastic shooters who shoot in a 5 inch circle at 5 yards and it takes 3 seconds with iron sights.

Dude! circles, lines, triangles, squares = 1, 2, 3, 4..... That's genius, didnt even realize.
That target is a muscled guy who did they make that after lol but good instructor on this and it's amazing to see the different spread
How do you stopping feeling nervous when in a confrontation so you don’t shake like your in a hurricane,is there a way to train that reaction out of your system??

I wanna see Milspec Mojo do this drill
Finally some transparency.
My local range will hang me upside down by my toes in the parking lot if I shoot faster then 1 round every 1-2 seconds lol. Wish I had my own property to practice
Do you sell those targets, I can't find them on your site?
Please bring this to Canada
good stuff

Wow where’s this instructor teach I want to take a class or 10
www.achillesheeltactical.com/
Sadly the local range (Range USA) makes me fire so slow otherwise the RO yells at me, like unnaturally slow.
That rso sucks, i used to work there, they showed us a video that shows a difference from shooting fast to rapid fire, as long as you have full control & consistent grouping the rso shouldnt say a damn thing
He had no recoil, that was impressive
Being ported helps a lot. It's night and day difference is huge.
That's a well tuned pistol, ammo and springs balanced with a trigger job done. That isn't an off the shelf shooter.
I'm kicked out of every range anywhere near me by 0:11 of this video.
I know a lucky 7s gun when i see one
It’s actually a landers weapons veil tomahawk not monsoons
Bro is a SHOOTER
Get some.

Is this a "Baseline Pistol" course ??????????
Yes this is the end of a baseline course.
Damn… that Amy part kinda hit hard. I gotta train more.
The ranges I've been to doesn't allow rapid fire.
I have 20 +1 chances to hit my target.
It would have been good to see him go back and shoot the drill at the end at 7 yards. I’m sure it would have been much faster.
Great video regardless…

Finally someone says it. Key holing isn’t impressive.
Dude looks just like Andrei Arlovski
How his gun so flat
Because he understands how to properly grip his pistol with the principles we teach.
He is gripping the handgun effectively. It's also a comped 9mm. Which helps
Yep porting makes a huge difference.
Why isn't the instructor demo-ing
Because we demo everything. We asked a student if he wanted to demonstrate. Which is an honor to our student.
They would have kicked you off the range by a minute into this.
👍👍
Hmm
GOOD BECAUSE SHOOTING AND TRAINING ARE 2 DIFFERENT THINGS CUZZ.
