Thank you so much Ben for all the gold nuggets in this video. I can appreciate the teaching style that you present. Studying and making changes in ourselves by listening /observation and repetition.
@@BenStoeger187I have been watching all of your videos out there and I am new to USPSA matches and your classes are spot on on what I need to be at least competitive and not suck so much. I do have a question…how much bearing does the gun have to be able at least shoot doubles competitively, i shoot with a 3.5 length pistol, do you have any pointers that may help. Thanks
Wow and a lot of the vet spec ops say that they’re toxic!!! Sure doesn’t seem that way putting this out for free! Thank you and keep up the excellent work!!!
I've been a fan of Ben since I bought the first dry fire training book in ~2015. He's been dropping such ridiculously useful content on IG and his podcast, and now the dude puts a whole ass class on TH-cam for free. His concepts on vision alone have completely changed the game with how I interact with both a dot and iron sights. We really should be paying for this.
Yeah he really should monetize this stuff better, dont get me wrong I'm not complaining by any means, but this is the kind of thing a "content creator" would put behind a $10/mo patreon paywall.
Cheers Ben. I won't be able to take a class with you with much regret as l live in Australia unless you are planning on a work holiday, haha, but what you present and the way you instruct is excellent and much appreciated . Thanks mate
This was very interesting. I’m going to have to try using more of a target focus to see what results I can achieve. Likewise, I tend to muscle the gun, so I’m going to try and use some of the grip techniques from the video. It seems like a great class. I need to sign up for some of this training.
Trying to improve my vision skills.....I have had the feeling of effortless shots.......chasing the feel of thoughtlessly shooting wish I could go to a class
Aloha Ben and Joel. Mahalo for your content. MaybIplease ask what level of shooters you are teaching. Are they beginning shooters that just finished their basic safety class , intermediate shooter that shoot stagnant or advanced shooters?
This is crazy. I bought How to Shoot Like a Navy Seal from Chris Sajnog. He stressed focusing on the front site post and here is a world class shooter saying just the opposite. It looks to me like Navy Seals should learn to shoot from world class shooters and then layer their tactical training on top of that.
I’ve only shot a couple indoor USPSA matches, let my membership expire, and admittedly not overly familiar with the rules. So I do have a question, at 1:15:21, when Joel was showing the “fast” way to shoot the drill, shouldn’t his foot or feet be on the other side of the fault line before round #5 was fired? Just wondering if that was actually correct, or if that would’ve been a procedural, or what?
Yeah, a movement drill being instructed, and from my admittedly limited understanding, appeared to be demonstrated wrong. “Can’t shoot with a foot out”. Yeah I get that on the first string, but take it on how the stage is intended to be shot, his foot should be on the other side of the fault line for the second string.
The "fault line" you're referring to is not actually a fault line - it's simply a tool for the drill to force the shooter to move as they shoot. You're absolutely correct about fault lines. You cannot have a foot touching the ground outside the shooting boundary in competition.
I'm a younger person looking to get into the sport and I just wanted to throw this out here because it seems like there's a lot of bad information on this online. If you are someone who is shooting a lot and going to ranges a lot, how are you protecting yourself from lead exposure? Are you getting BLL tests done frequently? There are quite a few studies that show recreational shooters have elevated lead levels. I am shooting federal syntech to avoid lead from my own gun but I have to imagine that the amount of lead in the dust at these ranges is just ridiculously high from the millions of rounds fired. I have a pair of shoes dedicated for the range and wash my clothes and shower after I go but it seems impossible to avoid contamination.
I see that Ben has smaller hands which allows for a lot of surface area on the grip for his support hand to occupy. I was trying to reproduce his grip advice and my primary hand takes up almost all of the grip space on the grip. When I place my support hand on the grip there is no free grip space. My grip is just fingers on fingers with very little support hand on the gun itself.
Dude's out there putting world class classes for FREE 🔥
💯
Can't believe this is free. I learned more in the last hour than I did in any MIL/LEO class.
Thank you for 90 minutes of the highest quality instruction for free.
This is one of those videos that you "save for later" so you can go back and watch it a couple more times. Thank you for such a great video.

My perception of training and shooting is forever changed! Thank you!

Thank you for uploading this man, my dry and live fire practice quality has improved astronomically
Thank you Ben & Joel! This is amazing and so helpful
Dude. Thank you!
As always, you transmit extremely valuable information. As we ve discussed, we were waiting for you here for a class.
Great video. Thanks for putting this out. I will definitely catch a class to pay you guys back for the knowledge transfer.
Thank you ben for this, really appreciates you for sharing a lot of golden knowledge for free for the love of our sports!
Excellent content ❤
Cheers Ben. I won't be able to take a class with you with much regret as l live in Australia unless you are planning on a work holiday, haha, but what you present and the way you instruct is excellent and much appreciated .
Thanks mate
Very much looking forward to your class being run in Canada in September.
Awesome.
I’ve learned so much in the first 20mins, but I must say I feel like Owen Wilson is teaching me how to shoot.😊
Thanks for this, guys!
Great stuff
Excellent content, thank you!
Keep those videos coming idol champ! Great and entertaining vid as always
looking forward to be in your class
Taking notes!! 🙌🙌
Ben and Joel really are good cop bad cop
Gotta learn how to read so I can get the book!
This is the way.

Gracias loco!!!!
sick back to the future tshirt
Is that Will Ferrell teaching a shooting class? 🤣Just kidding, looks like a good class. Thanks for sharing.
Hi BEN, what magnetic MAG POuNCH do you have in front?

All depends on the stage. Typically you can't shoot with a foot out. That being said, it's a movement drill.

The best part about all of this is the range banter. If you're not busting balls are you even having fun?
I don’t even shoot I’m just here for the roast battles
9:00 doubles

No but for real, this great stuff. Always appreciate when these guys can drop some knowledge
does that makes sense??????
Run gmjp?
GM Joel Park
So no front sight focus?
Ben Stoeger is amazing. Joel Park is annoying AF. I basically mute the video when Joel talks and unmute when Ben talks.
He gives off major “I’m smarter than you” vibes. 😂
That Border Patrol hat 🔥🔥
