As a new shooter, I've done 6 matches now, I appreciate these videos, I was shooting a lot of alpha's but going slow, now I shoot mostly alpha's with some Charlie's but my times are way down. Like 50% down, which has increased my HF. These videos are full of great pieces of advice. Thank you
Same thing I need to work on, move faster and accept more Charlie's. Still building confidence in my grip and trigger press though. It's a blast working on all this trying to get better!
This is the content I’m here for. It’s so disappointing this kinda info from you or Ben isn’t more popular. Instead dudes wanna watch “can this homemade plate StOp a 5oBmG?!” 🥴 Either way, take my sub. Us M&P owners gotta stick together after all 😂
This is what I need. My splits and accuracy are fire transitions are okay-ish, my mechanics are fast, but movement is where I’m missing the mark. Entry, exiting etc.
Got one of those belts, I gotta say it's the best carry belt I own. I carry more often and more comfortably because of it. 10/10 gud belt. My only regret is not getting the $1000 personal delivery option.
There’s a really cool drill for stoping the drop step habit. It’s a three cone drill. I learned from football to improve your acceleration. WR’s start with their feet staggered and their first step should always be with whichever foot is in front, pushing off with the back foot, no stuttering. If you can get a full stride with a shorter step and have the strength to get your full weight moving, you will be faster.
I remember watching a Ben Stoeger video about getting in and out of position, and if I remember correctly he likes to lower his center of gravity with his legs wider than shoulder width apart, which allows him to quickly exit in any direction. I don't remember him talking about loading one leg and leaning into the direction you're going as you're breaking the shot. That might be a bit harder to do on difficult targets but I look forward to giving that a try as my exits feel slow as shit. Thanks!
If you played any team sports that involved playing defensively, and anticipating someone's movement, that's the sort of reflexive agility you want to seek. Ability to move in any direction from current stance, what does that require? Can you be heavy on your heels? What if you are biased to go right, and the guy you're defending goes left? How much slower are you to follow him? I'll bet he just half-stepped you and you're in his rear view.
It is a nice belt, Hunter. I got one just a couple weeks ago from T1C. Nice work on the design & implementation. I just finished my 2d season of USPSA and I'm an old guy, former athlete who tries in his mind to be 25-30 yrs old and agile & quick. I'm just getting to the point in stages/comps where movement is a time hog. I've learned to treat movement the same as I did in college lacrosse or soccer, on a muddy or slippery field. Low COG, shuffle-like movement, soft entry/exit. Much, much easier said than done. I have long legs and always would stride and not chop/stutter unless absolutely required. Fun to learn a new skill as an old man, but hard to do. The ideal is to just glide along with no upper body/head bobble.
This was a great segment. More on this please, if you can. Doing another on shooting sooner (immediately) and having enough follow through would be great. I know I’m hesitating a fraction of a second. On each target, that adds up. I can tell with the hat cam, if I’m off, it’s because I left the target visually too soon.
Shooting sooner, think about having your body in the right position and your gun indexing on the target by the time your body is stopped. I have some more educational videos filmed that touch on it some more. The biggest thing is just making sure you're ready before the target is available. Getting off the target is going to come from the confidence you have in your shots in live fire understanding how your recoil feels.
Maybe do a video on your dryfire routine. I went from a low B class to near master in a few months of just dryfire and match shooting. but after a while things get stale so seeing different dryfire drills that people do would be cool
Wait, we are supposed to dry fire? Jk jk jk, I used to dry fire a lot while developing my skills. Now, it is hit or miss. It is extremely valuable, though.
Your mag looks like a big duracell battery lol Also, I'd love to see a breakdown of more things like the intro stage run. How you planned out the stage, target priority, and entering/exiting with those ports and the targets on opposite sides of the ports
Love your channel Hunter, I'm always waiting and watching for new stuff. I've never competed but my wife is pretty certain I'm G.M. material, says shes NEVER seen anyone get their shots off so quick.
Okay actually I could see that behind the back gun switch being a useful skill to practice just in case you turn the wrong way, plus looking and feeling cool is the #1 rule of shooting Edit: also didn't know you were cross-eye dominant
Great pointers! I just shot my first USPSA match a few weeks ago and I’m hooked. Quick question on grip while moving. Besides when running backwards (as shown in this vid), any advice on when to keep your support hand on the gun when running versus taking it off? I caught myself taking my left hand off the gun often and having to re-establish my grip a lot. I’ve seen some shooters almost always leave their hands and grip together when moving.
It really depends on movement. Side to side and forward movement within (let’s say) 1-4 yards, you’re probably good keeping both hands on. There’s no define method. Just what works best for you in the given situation. Set up a drill with different positions and clock your times with and without your support hand on the gun. Compare. Learn. Grow. Better ingredients. Better pizza. Papa John’s.
as a big (FAT) guy, I have to incorporate both stutter and shock absorbing steps. I have gotten so used to controlling my momentum that big dudes ask me about their movement. Sadly, it's still slow enough to not keep up with the 'unde-ta-fity-az." (under 250ers).. But, as I lose more weight. I find it really hard to break the habits of being super big with movement, making me even slower.
Excuse my ignorance but I am an IPSC competitor in Europe and we are not allowed to keep our finger on the trigger when we change from one position to another without having located the card as in the first seconds of the video. Is it allowed in Uspsa?
Is this at the Pima Pistol Club? I am a member there and see the Comps going on from weekend to weekend. I would like to get into comps but have no idea on how to even start.
I hit that thumbs up button just for Hunter's witty comment about taking 4 seconds off the first run and you'd have the dumbest AR a person could ever buy.
I was watching this video and thinking this guy makes good points until I realized he’s left eye dominant. Instant ick. Me personally I wouldn’t let my eye choose its dominance, I would just force my preferred eye to be better. L GM shooter.
One small step for Hunter, one giant leap for gatherers.

People like Hunter, Donovan from p1t and Brenan from gateway defense bullied me into shooting M&Ps and now I can't get enough. Thanks gents.

Thanks for the video man. I am actually trying to get behind the pistol instead of just being behind the camera now.
You’re welcome man!
Thanks for talking about this! This is one of the biggest things I speak about with newer competitors and this an awesome resource!

@@hunter-constantine not all of us have that Constantine carry belt money flowing in to fund live fire training! Haha
@@Jeremyuspsa sheesh I wish it was like that. Maybe one day. I do have some more stuff planned for people in 2024
Hey, this video was helpful! I’m going to practice these concepts at my next practice session.

Lots of good information in this video that will take weeks of practice. Thank you!
I got the belt. Love it!!
Truck and trailer for the win
ba da boom!
Love your channel Hunter, I'm always waiting and watching for new stuff. I've never competed but my wife is pretty certain I'm G.M. material, says shes NEVER seen anyone get their shots off so quick.
Haha! Need to take that speed to a match
Great stuff, thanks
Great content on movement , appreciate it 🤙🤙🤙!!!!!
Thank you
THANK YOU
I appreciate the knowledge. Thanks 👊🏼
I felt personally attacked the whole time and I loved it
Loved this ❤
You guys make an awesome couple 😂
my lord and savior, Hunter Constantine
Amen
Yo that was like a globe trotter trick with the hand switch
Whew! I was starting to worry that we we're going to have a serious talking hunter at 10:10, then I saw the trashcans come out.
Need to get a Holosun Comp.
Unreal athleticism
The BOYS!
Thanks great tips
Okay actually I could see that behind the back gun switch being a useful skill to practice just in case you turn the wrong way, plus looking and feeling cool is the #1 rule of shooting

I know my entries are pretty good, but I’ve got my fourth kid on the way so my exits need some work.
Good stuff.

Are all targets 2 taps?
For USPSA majority of targets are best two hits on paper

2.0 compact, metal or 5in? I’m about to join the M&P gang
5" poly. GANG GANG get an apex trigger with the saved dough

Almost as fast as me😁
What gun do you use?
M&P9
You don't find stability at each position... You bring stability with from every position
Did i just watch this in fast forward that was quick🤔!.
Belt!!
I could feel and see and hear the shut up on his face after the infantry joke
I get that a lot
More content with Eric
Eric is the man
Can we see him shoot a bill drill with an A-10?
I wouldn’t want my tax dollars used to any other way
just now realized you're left eye dominant
My whole life
Chief has the voice of a straight killer and panty dropper. Dude is cold as ice with it.
He’s an American stud

That GM coaching, no wonder why Eric beats me by 2 secs.
Eric is a national treasure
@@hunter-constantine Yessir. He, Kevin and Rommel make 2 Gun more funner. I'm glad his schedule opened up a bit so he can attend.
With all the examples you cited, I’m pretty sure you’ve been stalking me at matches
Hunter, how do I get my recoil management the same as you? That’s an aspect of my shooting that I am working towards. Do you have any recommendations?
LtCol is NOT wearing THE BEEELLLLTTTTT! WTF? LOL
I wonder what model of S&W he shoots for competition
This one duh. Jk kiss me
@@hunter-constantinedamn lol
Move like a General Manager
Me like belt.

He's Jason Bourne
You ever look at the people around you and think "fuuuck... they're so cool".
Invite me on the channel bro. I'm the greatest who ever fucking lived and I refuse to elaborate further. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

What if I told you I chose my hand dominance. Never let them know your next move
@@hunter-constantinedang ya got me there bud. Love the belts btw😘

Nor do I reply to a comment unless I really got something to say
