yup. My practice sessions range from 300-500 rounds typically, usually doing 2-4 drills, and I am typically done in an hour or less. I do pick up most of my brass so that adds a little more cleanup time. The best thing that I found that helps is coming to the range with a written list of drills and round count I want to devote to each drill.
Have to very efficient with training at clubs and public ranges. My club has only one pistol range area. Thankfully I'm usually able to set it up the way I want and most people are just casual gun owners who fill up the parking lot for the bar and not the range. The second someone else comes over though to the pistol range, I can't train movement or close target transitions and have to stand back on the line with everyone else, 15yds from the closest targets. I also usually can't set up multiple targets anymore at that point.
I've been trying to focus on specific goals each time. The biggest problem for me is the nearest place to practice is a 45min drive. Also I think some people may have budget issues with ammo for live fire training
I tried something new last night while dry firing. I use pieces of paper to aim around the room and I was noticing that going from very close to far targets my sight was shifting to the dot. I put text on each one of the targets so that when I'm target focused I could read the text and if I was sight focused it was blurry.
News: The suspect was caught with two guns and three hundred rounds of ammunition. Ben: Huh, looks like he was set up for a quick 15 minute training session.
Love these vids. Thanks to you, I'm getting to a point where it's hard watching gootoobers review firearms. Now I see most of them can't really shoot...
Its funny how nobody speaks of in-depth aspects of training like you do on the internet. Thank you for the awsome pieces of experience shared for free here!!
With the understanding of legitimate shooting of the gun is the same, for those that shoot a “competition” setup and a “duty” setup for work, how would you suggest splitting the training between setups? The holsters are completely different in retention and draw angle and the mag pouches are as well (covered vertical compared to canted and open). Thank you in advance.
Quality over quantity if you can’t focus on the specific goals? I’ve realised in a lot of your videos you tell the student to speed up at what point Would you tell them to back off the pedal
HE IS GIVING YOU GUYS THE KEYS TO NOT BURNOUT!
But did you use resistance bands?
THIS!
Haha 😂

Agree 100% about time efficiency at the range, more of a problem with the hour and half round trip .... Indoor much closer, but way too limited.
Backwards hat Ben is providing gems for us.

Just like with anything, short and frequent > super long and intense but less frequent

Great stuff Ben, thank you. 🙂

Funny how the exact same logic applies to the gym. ~45min in and out. Get in your reps and sets. Ignore everyone. Don't waste time. 💪

💯
Not gonna lie, my practices are like 5 mins or less of dry fire a few times a day. Maybe that's why I suck.

i am extremely disappointed rubber bands were not mentioned as efficient training tools. this is blasphemy!
With the amount of shooting you do Ben, have you ever ran into issues with like lead exposure etc, and how do you deal with it.
I have surprisingly low levels of
He sells lead cleaning wipes on his shop for your hands at least.
It takes a lot of money tho
Whats the farthest distance you should train pistol?
I don’t understand the question. The only limit I care about is my own ability
This dude is going to fall on his face, bro take a rest, seriously!!!!
