We are taking a slight departure from our normal "Top 5" series and discussing 5 tips that can help you become a better shooter whether you are experienced or not. There has been a tremendous growth of new shooters in the gun industry, and with so many new gun owners, we thought this video would be a good idea. It's my hope that these tips can help entry level shooters save time and money. Don't worry, there are more Top 5 Guns videos on the way.

Chris Cheng is a good dude. He must drive statist gun grabbers bonkers. A minority, gay, 2nd Amendment advocate. I bet his book is good.
Soulman1282 Might drive them bonkers, or might be a good example of how diverse the shooting community actually is -- something that those who hold those kinds of prejudices against gun owners should be reminded of.
***** what does him being gay have to do with guns? like. At all? I may not agree with thos life choices, but that just means that's not MY life style. he can do what he wants. this is America, he's American as it gets. his choice of life partner LITERALLY is not relevant at all.
***** You don't make a conscious decision to have diabetes any more than you would to be gay.
***** trololol
Your out of place discriminatory remark gave me a good laugh. It's OK, I get get what you are trying to say.
yellowbusguy thank you. I'm tired of the portion of the gun community that makes the rest of us look bad with their ignorance and intolerance. Although the guy he originally replied to was far worse about it.
I wouldn't want to shoot with a person without a healthy "fear" or respect of the guns their first time. It's the dudes or chicks who think they're invincible and think there is no danger who scare the shit outta me! I respect the few people I've instructed in shooting, who've stated their fears.
I've been watching your channel for quite a while now. This is by far the best video you've done. Rants just get the same people worked up. Promoting shooting as a sport draws people to understand guns and educate themselves. Any day at a public range shows the diversity of people becoming interested in firearms. That's what will turn the tide regarding ridiculous laws directed at the uninformed. Just my opinion.
MichiganDeerHunter1 Strongly agreed. As somebody who grew up on the left and was moderately pro-gun-control for most of my life, it was these kinds of realizations, among others, that helped destroy my prejudices against gun rights advocates, and paved the way for me to become one.
One of the greatest ways to protect ignorance and promote division is to live a life sheltered from the things and people one reflexively disagrees with. Encouraging detractors to see how diverse the gun-owning community is can serve as a first step towards opening minds, or, at the very least, dulling the overly-partisan nature of these kinds of disagreements.
GuitarNoob101 Exactly! I was terrorfied of guns until a neighbor took me shooting.Couldent like them more now!
GuitarNoob101 Similar story here, maybe a little more pro-2nd historically (grew up on a farm). But never wanted to actually buy a gun until I was in grad school and a friend put his Ruger 10/22 in my hands, years ago. That was a "eureka! this is fun!" moment. Now GOA life member, C&R licensee. Moral of the story: keep a spare 10/22 around and get it into as many different people's hands as you can, if they can handle it safely.
Great video. .22lr, 9mm and .223 are great calibers to begin with.
My very first gun was a Stevens 20 gauge single shot. Next was a Ruger bolt action .22. I absolutely loved that rifle. Lean times hit and I had to pawn both. Man I wish I still had them.
I remember when I first started conceal carrying and be very scared to carry a round in the chamber. Thinking the gun could just go off at anytime. After some time you realize the gun is not going to go off unless that trigger is pulled. So I understand people being scared when they first get into guns.
Shawn Tannehill- Yeah that will be my concern as well
ive bean shooting a long time and the old school way was to carry on a empty chamber but ive grown to trust these guns glocks etc etc...it is safe if you have a proper holster and practice your draw and re holstering safely
Great videos, love the content you bring.
Good guy, glad you had him with you on a video. Thanks guys
My first Time shooting I shot a 12 gauge Remington 870 and a mosin nagant(7.62x54r)
Great Video as usual, great guest! Thx for your time!
Nice to see Chris Cheng on the channel. I used to love watching Top Shot. Seems like a lot of the competitors (especially the winners) are just plain good people.
clamum It was great being on with Eric and Top Shot had some really amazingly nice people who I still stay in touch with.
Awesome. You rock!
Love this videos topics. So many important points that are often overlooked. Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. Keep up the great videos, and thanks for introducing the new guest!
Awesome video. Keep it coming.
Good info. Thanks Chris!
Great video. Lots of info. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the videos, always more to learn. Just got my CCW yesterday and first day carrying in public today no problems and I feel much more comfortable than when I didn't carry. I try to get to the range and watch all the videos I can for more tips and advise, no one in my family has ever even shot a gun and me being the youngest I just turned 21 2 months ago, kind of ironic.
How about top 5 teaching tips.... You know just average joe teaching wife kids girlfriend ect to shoot safely and proficiently
I think we can accommodate that. Might be able to bring James Yeager in to elaborate on that one.
***** how about Reid Henrichs instead. A true patriot!
james h Yeah i wann know how to shoot wives, kids and girlfriends safely
skyychaos26 you're saying James isn't?
***** This is my rifle, this is my gun... :D
This 5 gun I thought was really great and put out a ton of ideas that are valid, great job
Keep up the good work guys!
This video was full of great info. Thanks guys
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
Connor 123
7. (Unless you're in Kentucky??)
#3 is wrong
Connor 123 I have found that the hardest issue a new shooter has to deal with is keeping their damn finger off the trigger until ready to shoot and #2. Sweeping the muzzle all over the place. I don’t understand what their problem is, but it is really tough to get some people to stop.
Another great video. Thanks a bunch.
This is superior content. Great video guys
Great input from both of you!
I appreciate the information that you share. Great guest, great video. Thanks.
Fantastic vid"
Thank you both.
Great video, Eric and Chris, thanks. This video is good not only for beginning shooters, but for those who teach folks to become better shooters, either in classes or informally at the range.
Great video. Great content and information. Keep up the good work!
I worked construction for years and operated heavy machinery. there was zero training. you just do it. break stuff. and learn with time.
MattV2099: Guns & Food so you were an actual operator? nice :D
Smiley Tactical yep. made a video about it on my second channel I still am an actual 'operator' in the operations dept of a huge mega corporation.
MattV2099: Guns & Food Even if you've had no problems, I would still never recommend operating heavy equipment without training to others. The thing about heavy machinery that makes it dangerous is because it can usually operate flawlessly regardless of human obstruction. Training helps prevent accidental misuse. Safety procedures prevent accidental injury of you and those around you.
Eric's likening of firearms to heavy equipment is spot on.
overclucker small constructions companies generally don't care about safety. large corp's like where I work will train the fuck out of you before you take a piss in their bathroom. but small ass construction companies just throw you at a problem and you figure it out. break a lot of shit in the process. that's why I don't do that crap anymore. the demands and lack of safety suck.
That's because you live in a backwards part of the country that's run by retards. Grow a pair and move to a city and you'll see why firearms are restricted. If everyone had guns it would be like the Wild West!
Good info, guys. Thank you for the video!
Excellent video!
Thanks Eric and Chris, that was very informative. I will be picking up Chris's book.
Always presented intelligently Eric. Thanks guys!
Always good to review the basics
Great video and great info!
Thanks for this, I for one, found this informative and useful.
Cheers!
Awesome video!
Very awesome video Eric. I really got great info on how to make me better at a shooter/get more info on things :). Keep song what ur doing and that's being awesome at making videos
Chris is a thinker. Great job guys.
Very informative, thanks.
Hi guys
You have an amazing video here. I mean the quality of the camera outta amazing. You guys always do quality stuff. Thanks for the content
just bought my first one , just brought it home today.
Thanks for share the tips.
This video is probably a great idea for those who are into shooting and do it occasionally and not just for new shooters.
Great info!👍
Much Needed Info
This is a great video, and I agree with all the points. I do like the first three points. Specially with my first time been in the range and shooting a loaded pistol, and been scared, sweating, but as Chris said, just train and have a good group of people on teaching you how to be better, be safe, be more comfortable when you shooting, I am lucky that I have a good of group of people who thought me how to be safe in the shooting range and safety procedure. My other point to, is that the gun and caliber should start with a 22 or 9mm and then go up from there. Like Eric said, you just start learning to ride a motorcycle or drive a car, you don't buy the biggest and fastest motorcycle or car out there.But you start from something small and go from there. And practice always make you better, and eventually you'll master, also is a good idea to take a a class again , it a refresher that you may have forgotten since it haven't done for a while and you forgot, or you may not remember from class. But overall a good video for people who are starting to shoot guns to amateurs.
Good video, but the real question at hand *Eric*, Can I borrow dat beard?
Nice video!
Big dangerous Bobcats! LOL
...Great vid.
just subscribed, just trying to gobble up as much info as I can before my first gun purchase
Best damned video I have seen in YEARS for beginning shooters. Usually, I've heard, "This is the best," "This is the ultimate," "This is the ONLY!" THAT is total BS! What is "BEST" is what is the safest and most comfortable for each individual shooter, Novice or Experienced, and that even changes over the years. There is NO substitute for training, whether it be in-home dry firing or at the range. After over 65+ years of shooting, I am still learning and adjusting! Thanks again, IV. I'll be sharing this video with a LOT of "folks"! Hawk6
great video
i really love you guys
very good
take all schools of thought into consideration and reassess afterwards what you will default back to
I been shooting since I was 8. Shooting 22lr and 410 (all I had at the time). I have shot high powered rifles before. Now I have my first gun is a 770 .308 for hunting.
very well done
This is good info
Thanks
I have never herd of the dime drill before and when my sister and I went shooting we found out through a laser pointer on a practice gun that she compensates by pushing forward. What an eye opener
See the first time I've ever shot a firearm was when I was 12 at a police camp (Camp Cadet). They started us off on .22 LR bolt action rifles, and then we held a little competition where the winner of the cabin would get to fire any weapon at a demonstration the next day. Since there were 5 cabins and I was the winner of Cabin Green, I got to fire the gun of my choosing. Other people fired 12 gauge shotguns, I saw a .338 MRAD, a 30-6 bolt action rifle, but I got to fire a fully automatic M16 rifle they had. I was honestly surprised how I could control the recoil, although it looked like I was about to drop the thing.
Eric loves to use the word "Guys". LoL!! Good vid guys.
I like this video.
Great video. Take away here is that safe gun handling is a discipline. Taken seriously, it can be a rewarding hobby. Eric, we didn't see eye to eye on the "Kennedy head effect" thing, but I still think this is one of the best channels on RUclips and that you a one of the best personalities on RUclips. Professional videos like this are the reason I watch IV8888. Keep up the good work Sir.
Really Great video!!!! Getting people motivated about shooting. How to get enjoyment and accomplishment out of shooting while being safe and responsible.
You had me at "Shoot safely"
I just talked about that mindset you mentioned early on in the video. Glad to see others starting that discussion, too. Nice vid! I gave it a like ;]
Guns Gear & Fitness Hi Destiny :)
Shawn Faller You have no chance...
GunEnthusiast LOL.
I just bought a used copy of Chris's book off Amazon. When I opened it, it had been autographed for someone else! So, in essence, I still have a signed copy of his book. But I have to start going by "Briana" now...
Great video .. Chris you are an awesome inspiration to us normal everyday guys that "don't necessarily" look up to the tactical bearded community... Amazing accomplishements, and look forward to reading your book.. geta you tube channel please.. You have a wealth of knowledge in that head of yours..
Due to their extreme simplicity, I think revolvers are an excellent choice for beginners and non-enthusiasts. In addition, the heavy trigger pull of a revolver is a nice safety feature.
Love how Chris explained the wild card. I was once talking to an instructor of a training company here in Ohio. Asking him what kind of things they taught and how. He said, "we are going to show you how to do everything with that gun. We are going to show you the right way. And if you don't do it that way, then you're wrong." I just chuckled. Needless to say, I never went there. I'd rather learn from someone that understands that there always may be a better way. What may be considered fact today, could be proven wrong tomorrow.
The first gun I shot was a m1 garand :) LOVE shooting the m1
I'm a female 40 plus I feel sooo good to have my gun. Practice practice gooood feeling.
Could you do a video on the benefits of a 20 gauge for home defense for new shooters. Lower recoil, power levels of different ammo, target acquisition, follow up shots, accuracy, and your views on the subject. Some people would be served better with the use, and the knowledge, like smaller in stature, people with disabilities, things like that. Thanks for all you do for the industry, and the new people in the gun world. You can buy an education, but intelligence is priceless. In this world, knowledge is king.

Great advice from Chris. I am wanting to train an adult female who has never shot, and like Chris addresses, overcoming fear is the key. I think she will catch onto it, and the thing is keeping it fun and relaxed for any new shooter. When you put pressure onto someone, they will not have fun and will not be able to advance. Just like any other sport. The advice about building the proper defensive mindset is also great. If you are just shooting on a range, or hunting, you may not need a defensive mindset. But that would be like using a hammer only to pull nails. You are not using your tools to their greatest potential. The advice on first gun choice is great, but I would also recommend not overlooking an air gun. Many children and adults can be taught the fundamentals of shooting and general gun handling/safety with an air gun. The upside with an air gun is that most people can set up a range in a basement, garage or hallway at home with some simple materials. I would also recommend looking at some of the range practice systems out there. Without the concerns of projectiles striking someone or damaging the laser will help you with trigger control and sights. Both live fire and "dry fire" can help any shooter. Like Chris stated repetitive practice helps to develop muscle and nerve memory.
These tips were good and as an expeirianced shooter such as myself I would recamend a ruger sr 22lr semi auto pistol
Man, whatever happen to "Top Shot"? I used to love that show, Dustin was easily the best shooter on that entire series!
Absolutely brilliant video for new and old shooters! As for old, at 67 my eyesight is not what it was and the front sight focus for handguns is poor since I need glasses for most purposes.I'd like to see someone address that issue.
I somewhat disagree on the Front Sight courses. It is the Walmart of training- cheap, mass production, indifferent to individuals.
I went for several different hand gun classes, and I found they are inflexible, and some instructors were abusive and arrogant. I saw women in tears after "motivational" harangues. As you mentioned in point one, these people were scared, and the response was bullying. The instructor tried to "motivate" the lady using boot camp techniques. Finally other students confronted the so-called instructor and told him to back off.
That he did, but after witnessing that I have not returned and I suspect others have not.
Better than mass market is to seek local instruction from folks with good reputations. I sent my wife to a local instructor and she is a good shooter and still married.
i work at a gun range, that point 5 gets overlooked sometimes (even though were AT THE RANGE!) by myself and fellow employees even though we get a DISCOUNT on shooting...
I like how it uploaded at "3:08"
I love top 5 videos and i am a new firearm owner. I was wounding if you could make a parts video, for example I had no idea some time ago what snap caps were or what a Bore Guide was and i want to know if you could make a video for a beginner on thing to get to build by kit/cleaning kit
Give us more of these vids
***** I think sometimes people get comfortable with there skill set once they become proficient at shooting, I myself recently did this and it was one of the basics and I couldn't figure it out until I went back to basics. I broke my strong arm back in February and had my arm in cast for over a month and had a requalification for handgun for Armed security registration in April that I have to do every year and my arm was just out of cast I went to range I started practicing and kept having malfunction with my Glock 19 and was like what is wrong and I went to local Glock armorer to have some sights installed and I was telling him and he said are you limp wristing and I was like I don't think so I went home practice just drawing and making sure I was griping properly and then went to range the next day making sure I was griping properly and no malfunctions and then I realized I was overlooking that my arm just came out of cast and didn't have the same grip strength and just wasn't using the basic techniques properly and of course I blame everything on the gun or magazine because I know what I'm doing and I got a reality check of regardless on how well you think you are the basic things are what you need to keep in mind and don't forget to practice!
First time I shot, probably about 7-8 it was a Taurus .22lr pistol. Growing up in SA we pretty much only train with pistols apart from farm work. Prolly because of the need for self defense and our no permit carry laws . Anyway, I would hate to be a new shooter again, I cringe thinking about the times when I was younger going rapid rife in a target range and saying stuff like “it’s not loaded!!” Not saying I wasn’t properly taught, but for a new shooter it takes time for all that to sink in, especially if their younger since they tend not to have that firearm fear. Firearm fear can be trained into firearm respect but firearm negligence is hard to train into firearm respect, if that makes ANY sense.
That “wow I’m holding a loaded gun” feeling can die out after a while but I think that feeling makes a person more safe then just telling them the 4 rules of firearm safety.
Muzzle discipline is the most important of the basic gun rules in my opinion, which I feel is usually overlooked when people are talking about gun safety. A gun isn't going to sent a bullet in any direction other than the one the pointed in. ALWAYS keep your firearms pointed away from anything you're not going to shoot. Always. Always. Always. I've met several people that have shot themselves being careless with this rule. Never point your gun at ANYTHING you do not intend to destroy/kill.
Exactly always treat a gun as if it is loaded
you should also make a top 5 guns for first time guns user, so basically beginner guns for beginner shooters
hi i just want ask if the book is in french ?, thank i love your channel kiss from france
I plan on taking several training classes before I shoot the guns I have that dad had
Yo History Channel. Grow a pair and bring back Top Shot.
I think the "dime drill" is an especially good idea for new shooters. A lot of them "milk" the gun... that is, they have not yet developed the skill of moving only the trigger finger when firing and do not realize that their other fingers are tightening and pulling the gun to the low left (usually). So the dime drill will help to develop that skill by making them isolate trigger finger movement since they will now have a graphic representation of what happens if they don't.
I wouldn't say I was scared of guns when I started shooting, but I definitely was (and still am) nervous about other people judging me at the range.
Not wanting to ask for help is definitely me. I know I'm being safe, I just have no idea about marksmanship. I would like to do some training, I just have no idea where to go for it. I'd absolutely love to do some defensive training, especially the kind of group militia stuff that you see in the US, but sadly it's pretty seriously illegal in my country so the groups which exist are good at keeping themselves quiet.
Is a SR22 a good gun for plinking, just to get a bunch of rounds through for experience?
I've never heard of the front sight dime drill and don't see anything in a quick search here on RUclips. Does someone have link, please?
With me, I live in the UK. very north of Scotland. i started shooting whne i was about 10. shooting is kinda in my family, we have all benn shooters, dad, he isnt a rifle man, as we dont have much reason to have one, but he loves shotguns. my first gun, apart from an air rifle was a winchester 101 with 27inch barrels and multi choke. it was one of his favourate guns but he wanted me to have a good time shooting. anyway, i started bird shooting, but then he took me clay shooting, and i loved it instantly. i got over 50% with my first time going. i have never gone to a coach, but with my club who has a few boys going for the scottish team, i have never needed it, its like i always have a coach, they tell me what i need to work on and that. i only shoot once every week or fortnight, but i feel these these points that have been said is, to me, pointless. im sure they help alot of people, maybe im lucky to have such good lads here, but we have "experts" in all disciplines so ive never needed help from anyone special. i now get about 90% on a good day partly from their help and partly from myself. if i could say anything on the subject, it would be, to not pay out for a coach because they most likely dont know you. i had a few comps with my own wits and nothing else, now i get a bit of friendly advise now and then and it really helps because they dont tell you how you SHOULD do it, they just let you do it your own way and help where they can. Shooting is genuinely the best sport to get into, but just enjoy it. coaches is good, dont get me wrong, but if you like the way you shoot, dont change it, just incorporate the advise you get into your routine.
International High Power Weapons Champion here !!!
When you guys gonna review a Sig p320?????????
I don't see why someone would have trouble taking the life of someone who intends to harm them or their family. They're basically saying they value the life of the criminal more than they value their own life or the lives of their family.
Just like to add - When you go to the range and try new techniques .. KEEP NOTES! Was the guy 2 lanes over killing tanks with a .500 S&W, and throwing your concentration off? Did "grip B" cause you to shoot left? Etc Etc Etc
What season was Chris Chang on?
