I've always taken the approach of "I'm training for concealed carry, I'm not a precision shooter. Getting A zone hits as fast as possible from the draw is all I care about," and so that's all I did for all these years. I was never truly proud of my groups and would get the occasional flyer every few range trips. This video was a nice wake-up call for the way I train. Time to sideline the 'Instagram drills' and return to the fundamentals. Quality content, guys.
If you're "shooting A zones" you're practicing USPSA.
Sadly, we don’t get to choose the situation in which we’re called on to defend ourselves or people we care about.
Prolly best to try and do it all!
Great to see modern, practical shooting concepts go mainstream. This is the way.
This is the way.
this is not a modern concept…it is a return to fundamentals.
This is the way
this is the way.
Can we just appreciate all the content for new shooters? Another w video
Training in crappy weather is awesome!
Hell yeah
definitely got called out in this vid about what i prioritize at range day but im glad i did
Hey Lucas. Gotta say, I know you might get a lot of hate from people for whatever reasons, but I appreciate all you and your channel bring to the community. Keep up the great work bro 🤙
Thanks!
@@TREXARMSI totally agree with this guy. Im a 25 yo guy (grew up and live in the Bay Area of CA) who has always liked guns and supported the 2A, I’ve been a lot more diligent in keeping up w the new or proposed legislation here and federally since the Bruen decision gave us our right to carry back. I submitted my CCW application and have gotten sucked into the world of new guns, attachments, what’s the best vs what’s budget, what’s good enough for my plans etc. I’m a big car guy (Yes I am well aware this state sucks for people w that passion as well) so I know all too well how crazy expensive and time consuming these things can get if you let them.
My issue is that I want to be the best representative for the 2A community that I can, which means that I want quality equipment, the most effective training, and the most sound opinions on those things (and much more) that I can find. As any intelligent person should do, I have a few different channels & ways of doing things that I find to be useful and resonate w me the most. Your channel has been a go to for a few different things but recently for these how to shoot videos. I am not a total and complete goofball w a handgun but I am very new to AR’s, however I am always willing to learn more fundamentals and simple drills that really can elevate your ability to put shots on target at various distances.
I just find your style to be straightforward, honest, and effective which is something I like quite a bit. Stuff I can easily do when I get home from a long tiring ER shift and my gf is asleep, other stuff I can do to help my fundamentals when I can’t get to the range due to how few and far between the good ones are in this area, etc. It’s really been helping me and eventually I’m going to teach these same things to my gf so she is at least reasonably proficient as well lol.
I just want to thank you for the work you are doing and hope you know there are a lot of people you reach positively with your videos and your company. I hope one day I’ll learn well enough and have decent enough equipment that I won’t be embarrassed if I run Into you at an event somewhere. Anyway, thanks for reading all of this if you made it to the end. I have a habit of rambling on for too long, especially right after I get off shift 😂. I’ll be praying for ya, and I’ll be continuing to tune in on the regular. Stay blessed!
@@genericsocks7542Your profile photo does not fit your comment😂
This is the best video for beginners ive seen yet.
I made a video just like this with different weapons a couple days ago and it’s crazy seeing how much both videos have in common.
Lucas, and the team, you don't realize how those videos are precious.
Love seeing the BCMs in action. The simplistic way you had the rifle setup makes it more appealing to newbies imo. They relate more to the setup and don't attribute your skills to upgrades they don't understand. Top tier vid!
U like blm rifles?
@@Token_Black_Guy ?
yeah most of the time they have fully kited rifles but now they just have a bcm upper on an aero lower with a t2
@@derekdavis8988 a great setup for everyone imo
I have been shooting my whole life and I learned so much from this video. This is such a good base for any level shooter. I would go and hit good groups but I struggled with recoil management and speed especially when trying to do the "Magpul videos" type of shooting. I just figured I just wasn't as good as the shooters I was seeing in the videos but this seems like the secret ingredient to unlocking a whole new level of shooting. I appreciate this content so much.
Good deal for new shooters and a refresher for experienced ones. 60 rounds is the perfect amount
It's crucial for anyone picking up a firearm for the first time to grasp these fundamentals, and Lucas explains them concisely and clearly.
My older brother got me into guns when I was 18. I became pretty hooked right away and got a AR-15 just like everyone else as my first gun. I soon after got a EDC handgun for when I completed my CCW. Not long after my brother past away. This put guns off for me. I felt like I lost this passion I had for firearms. Now here I am 10-11 years later of not touching the same 2 guns I purchased getting back into actually training to be able to protect my family if needed. I have purchased 2 new guns in the past month and have been to the range almost every weekend. This was all thanks to me discovering your videos and really seeing why we should all be prepared. I wish I could afford some of the products from your site, but for now I will use the "cheap" stuff till I can.
As someone with some of the "Gucci" gear, I actually appreciate it more after getting the "budget" options. Yeah, the $3K laser that my employer issued me is nice, I have a greater appreciation coming from the $800 laser. The $1200 scope I was issued is really nice, but I actually value the differences because I started with the $300 scope, or $130 red dot.
I typically get more out of the issued equipment than some of my colleagues, because I know how to use the "lesser quality" items.
End of the day, fancy gear makes a shooter look like they can shoot, but cheap gear makes a shooter actually learn to shoot.
@@Cabbagepatch66 Yeah I love quality stuff and always try to buy that way, but having 2 kids and a house it is hard to also buy the best gear and attachments for my firearms. That is why I went with a PSA dagger instead of buying a sig or something more expensive. Gun works and teaching me to shoot better and gives me more money for more ammo and range time compared to spending more on a gun and not being able to shoot it as much.
@@cbingg how do you like the Dagger? I've been considering one as a center console gun. I like the Glock compatibility, as I have an absurd amount of Glock parts/accessories from work. Mainly looking for something (relatively) cheap that I can toss in my center console or cross bed toolbox, that I don't care about getting bounced around.
Affording the ammo is key to training 😢😂 @@cbingg
@@Cabbagepatch66
I’ve got about 2k rounds through mine.
Is stiff for the first mag or two (might not cycle). Also can’t feed hollow points at all, jam on feedramp. Feeds fmj & flat nose flawlessly.
Thank you for everything you do, the information that you provide is greatly useful and worth more than some of us little folk can pay! Again, thank you for all you guys hard work and effort to bring amateurs like myself content such as this to become more adequate gun owners!💪🏽
Love this series!
Coming from someone who’s been shooting for a year or so, I can say that doubling down and focusing on the basic fundamentals and dry firing at home is not wasted time & energy (if you’re learning from it). For younger shooters I recommend listening to what Lucas said at the end, don’t rush to doing the fun crazy stuff but focus on nailing down the fundamentals and everything you do afterwards will build off that
I appreciate everything you bring to the community. You inspired me to buy my 1st gun a few years ago when I was trying to figure out how to deal with cross eye dom
I've been shooting since I was 8 so this isn't new stuff to me but I am a simple man. Lucas posts a video, I watch it. Simple as.
Thank you for creating quality content for people who simply want to get better. Loving these videos.
Finally! I’ve been patiently waiting for the next installment. Thanks!
Ikr, about damn time son
I just listened to the podcast with Dr. Steve Turkey! That was one of the greatest podcast I’ve ever listened too!!! Keep up the great work guys. Keep that coming. Could listen to it all day.
Thank you! Will be awaiting the next one… love these
This is a great series. As someone that shoots regularly I have something to teach new shooters and give them the best pathway to maximize their training. Can't wait for more.
Love these videos. I always watch them to brush up on my fundamentals. Only having an indoor range close to me they're perfect for my application.
Lukas, I not a huge fan of your personality at all but I will say this. You have done a lot for the community and the fact that your demonstrating safety off quickly, break the shot, reestablish sight picture, asses if the shot achieved the intended goal, and safety on is great.
I see so many guntubers who are way to quick to put the safety.
You make me happy
What a weird ass comment.
I've been shooting for 5 or six years now and I STILL like to do this kind of training every range day. Good for "cold starts". Good to know the rust off. Great content
I love this videos. Get into the nuts and bolts of shooting.
Awesome video guys. Some really good information. Thank you for your time.
As newer firearms owner & greener shooter, I truly appreciate this content brother, God bless! ☦🤙
another great video. absolutely a must watch series for new firearm owners and shooters. and even a great help to influence more experienced shooters to get back to basics and work on strengthening fundamentals.
great work, bud. im looking forward to the next one.
Love these training videos! I recently started making my own training videos and I learned so much from you Lucas. Thank you for the great information as always!
Amazing tips. Shot for years and still learned some great stuff. Thanks
Love this series
Excellent timing! This year, more people will take training seriously. Great opportunity to go back to the beginning
This video series I love to rewatch because it is all about mastering the basics which makes great shooters
THANKS,LOOK SO FORWARD TO YOUR POST
Great video! One thing I'll add that I haven't seen anyone else saying is keep your feet parallel, pointed to the target. It feels weird at first, but it prevents your hips from turning while firing rapidly, so your sight picture only moves up and down, which is a lot easier to negate than left-right movement because you just have to manage how much you're leaning into the rifle.
Beautiful work
Thanks a lot for all the knowledge you pass on ! These courses are really high value. Again, thank you very much for taking the time to teach us. And believe it or not but I think you re also an English teacher for many of us through the whole world ! Greetings from France ! 🇫🇷 🤙
Coming back to this after finally landing a membership at a nearby private range. Gonna do my best to start a regular cadence, record video and grouping data, and then analyze. Thanks for the pitch on basics. Was going to do it all but now I'm thinking the shot timer can wait until next year.
As soon as I saw rain and paperwork I got excited. COMMITTED!!!
never been this early to a Trex arms video
Same

I learned a lot with you guys. Thank you.
I'm so ready for part 4!
My last range trip I did a couple hundred rounds of bill drills. Saw a big difference in my groups beginning to end. Thanks for the tips.
Good stuff, Lukas. Thanks.
Having just recently bought my first rifle, this video was definitely needed! I haven't gotten up to the range but but i can't wait to implement these practices to my training.
Highly recommend this vedio, there are some points Lucas has mentioned in the vedio that I strongly agree: Do not Just watch magpul lectures especially when you are a starter, yes magpul is nice and their vids helped me alot back when I started to practice shooting in senior high.
But there are many basic and essential techniques that are not mentioned in their vids, like "reconstructing the grip of the pistol after continuos shooting" and "Focous where the dot goes after one shot".
There is an old saying goes in China: Only focousing on the stabbing but not the muscle practice will end up in vain. Foundamental works are nessecary in all skill development actually not only in shooting. They are boring and take ton of time but if you want to be a pro, they are unavoidable.
Making a living here in China is hard, what is harder is to re-pick up habit of shooting in the life with long-time work and low payment. Lucas and his vids are the main motivation pushing me to go on with shooting. I believe if a decent man pick up a firearm, he acctually is going to proect something like beloved ones, freedom or democracy. My only goal of life for now is to immigrate abroad and get a grip of real firearm, getting away from tyrancy. Lastly I would like to say to Lucas and myself: NIce job and keep on.
Fantastic video!
Thank you for your education and influence for the all us civilians.
I did a similar video with handguns! Showing more basic drills, posting the rifle edition later this week!
thank you and everyone who works on this channel for the resourses you provide for free to the free.
You're welcome!
Quality content as always
Thanks for this video, it has been very helpful and found myself coming back for tips i forgot.
Because of these videos we can “do it all on our own” lol. But for real T.Rex Arms is putting what seems to me like great education for free; literally just mimic how a pro shooter like Lucas is shooting and you will be a good shooter without going to classes. I have gotten so much better by just practicing this without going to a single class.
Great overview, can't wait to get out to the range and do these simple yet productive drills. Thanks for another great video.

These quality tutorial vids are so rare these days.
Finally a shooting video. Thanks…
Awesome advice . Good stuff !
it is crazy how many people consider themselves shooters but cannot manage these basics. I would do dynamics shooting events with guys who were tacti-cool, fully kitted out, running whatever trendy modern red dot equipped semiauto handgun was popular that month. Half of them couldn’t hit the targets when they were moving, would drop mags on reloads, and stall completely trying to clear minor failures during the evolutions. I was taught early, check the ego and focus on fundamentals. After a few years away from shooting, I remembered that wisdom and do basic drills once or twice a month at the range.
Fan-damn-tastic series. Revamping a lot of my practice based on this purpose-driven methodology. Dryfire as well.
I'll try to keep this in mind next time I shoot. Thanks this really helps.
Really appreciate the video and training progression, Im guilty of just shooting to shoot, now I have a purpose. Keep these videos coming.
This series is fantastic! Once it’s completed, I’d love to see the same thing but with someone who is a new shooter.
I love how cinematic this channel is. 😮
Great content.
The reason why you’re the best IMO is you are not above giving content to new shooters. The shooting community (especially having a lot of ex military, myself still active at 18 years) is it can be intimidating. You can have the most expensive “cool guy” setup but not knowing how to shoot will expose people. The thing is ITS OK! It’s ok to not be the best shooter! It’s not ok to discourage someone from shooting as long as they’re not abysmally lying about their level/experience or are unsafe to themselves or others with their training methods.
In short, your content is amazing. You are investing in a community of civilian shooters who NEED content like this.
Also to not sound like I’m on a soap box just because I am military, I not only watch all your content I NEED it and APPLY it. My individual shooting skills has immensely grown from your content, especially pistol.
Been waiting for this one
Thanks Lucas, I'm always telling women that sometimes smaller is better. Happy to see it applies to shooting targets as well!
That hyper focus/fixation on a tiny spot is my biggest challenge right now. This past week of dry fire has been focused on that, hopefully it shows good results next range trip
love the videos keep them coming love the information
I posted a similar video showing some drills like this and other beginner ones. Posting the rifle edition later this week!
The rainy asmr at the end👌🏼
Great stuff!
Fabulous!
Thanks so much for the video, been trying to find basic drills to run with friends at the range.
I just posted a drills video for beginners aswell. Posting the rifle edition sometime this week!
I don't think we all realize just how important and lucky we are that this information has been provided by us. T-Rex, I seriously hope that you may consider a book form of your knowledge you have been sharing with us.
I like those spools of target stickers from Caldwell or the colored stickers from the office supply section
Never fail to be impressed by your experience, knowledge and ability when you post reviews.
"Learn from Everything"

好喜欢你的视频
Good info
Great video✅
Please more of these videos.
Nice, thanks!
Good stuff!
This is kind of interesting view of starting shooting, because back here in Finland pretty much everyone gets their basics in the military if they aren't taught as kids
I watch all your videos, but strangely this one never turned up in my feed. Great content as always thank you!
This character arc of super pro 2A is something I’m f*cking on board for.
W video
I work at both an indoor range and a health food store. The flat cardboard box that comes from putting yogurts up and others product I often keep them and put splatter targets on them. Aim small miss small
Thank you fornthe videos!
🇺🇸
Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Thanks 🤙🏼
that's the good stuff
Watching these videos before I drop my commissioning check on a scar 17S
I am always the only one shooting sharpee drawing on printer paper in the range. I love this idea!!
I don't earn a lot and hence I value training effectively.
Wow. I thought this was an old video in the archives I just hadn’t watched yet. Then I see the time posted 🤣
I made a video just like this with different weapons a couple days ago and it’s crazy seeing how much both videos have in common.
Quality💥
Yes
Amazing video Lucas keep it up!!!!! a little suggestion: could you please talk about how you’re able to shot that fast may finger doesn’t even go that fast with a ps controller,and also how you don’t blink from the sound when you shot. Thanks 😊
You trained shootout publically best otherwise no one like you , Trex arms ❤️
I do sharpie paper targets all the time lol. SO damn easy and cheap.
