Been shooting with Both eyes closed this whole time!! No wonder why No One will go shooting with me!
lol😂👍🇺🇸
Lol
😂
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
Before I watch a gun video, I read the comments to see how it's really done.
Hell yeah you learn a lot
best comment ever!
Great comment!! Some people really know how to shoot, or they are really good... but as an instructor, they are horrible...
Lol this is so meta
Glad I'm not the only man of culture.
I'm always appreciative when someone with the training and knowledge you have acquired is willing to make informational videos like this. 👍🏻
The first thing he does is points his gun at his own hand!
Clearly someone who is as great a shot as a teacher. Thank you for the education and for your service.
Yea you can tell he was not only an operator but an instructor too. He’s got a knack for both.
If you tried to fuck with him, he would destroy you in a millisecond
Why do I have the feeling I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time? 😂
Can’t wait brother.
hahah, Thanks brotha.
Vigilance Elite cuz you’re not Travis. Haha kidding, big supporter of your channel.
Great recoil control.
Hey Mr. Ryan, my buddy is joining the Navy soon and leaving in about a month. He's trying to become a rescue diver. He's in great shape so I kept telling him to try for SEALs but I think he was afraid of failure so he didn't wanna try. Is there a chance they'll force him to try out for the SEALs. I truly believe he could make it and I think deep down he would want to become one.
Watched your episode on V.E thx for your service and great podcast bro
Thank you, you've addressed every one of my questions regarding these, the _Siglite,_ sights; your help is much appreciated.
25 years training Martial Arts, your instruction is on point!!! You and Shawn are my go to for sure. My goal is to train with both of you guys!!!
I was having a problem with shooting both eyes open and after hearing his tip on squinting it dramatically helped. Thank you and I look forward to implementing more of your tips.
A testament to the flawless fruit of repetition. Practice doesn't make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect. Hope folks are flocking to this, especially after the awesome interview on Vigilance Elite. Thanks for your service, and all the very best.
Guys, remember this guy was a skateboarder before he went to BUDS" now look at it him!👍 he also finish 18 Delta /Medic school with honors!
Well said, Brother! No dream is too big, but does your dedication match the intensity of your desire to achieve whatever you seek to become or accomplish? Many people want the brass ring until it's within reach; that's when you find out how badly you really want it!
When he shoots the pistol he’s back on target before I hear his report. Magical with sprinkles of terrifical!
Excellent examples of how to use the shot timer, using a target with multiple size circles and how to make effective use of ammunition. I was also happy to see that you demonstrated the use of racking the slide and using the slide lock release without getting into the quagmire of which method is better. I have the same shot timer and will begin to integrate your method into my training. As you allude to, you have to set a baseline and you can't improve what you don't measure! Very squared away teaching demo sir!
Thanks for the pointers, and thank you for your service.
He was a SEAL teacher too
Keep up the videos! Great tips and drills I'll be trying out. Plus I'm gonna need that hat and a TEAMS shirt, Trav! 💪🏻👍🏻
Travis is such a legend.. listening to the podcast with Shawn Ryan and hearing what this guy did apart from standard buds and team stuff..is pretty damn amazing
Thanks for sharing this video. I'm a new gun owner and will be using this video to help me train. You Shawn Ryan and Mike Glover are all great teachers.
Recoil control is on another level
These are definitely not the basics! What happened to the basic firearm safety rules first???? 🙄. this is definitely not right
I was actually hoping he'd go over the non dominant hand grip to help recoil.
I really like the knowledge and delivery. The drills look great. Would love to see more basic handgun training and instruction. I’m a new gun owner. I would love to be proficient enough to try some of these drills. Some quick general tips from your perspective and background.
Travis, you are an EXCELLENT, No-BS teacher! Yer instruction-style is very much appreciated, brother!
As a person new to shooting. Thank you for your service first of all! But thank you for your gift of teaching!!
Awesome work, I am a 20 year old self taught. I would like to train and improve to be reliable with my firearm instead of being a liabilit. I just did a whole session with your tips in mind, was one of the safest and most productive. Staying consistent is key even though I'm a little slow I stay consistent, consistent is safe and consistent is "fast". Thank you for your service and helping others!
TEAMS
looking forward to seeing more vids! Great breakdown
say man you finally got it up and going, man you are another inspiration to me. i cannot stress how much of a little bit of a role model can change a guys life. i should have joined up after getting my shoulder fixed, but i screwed up and stayed stateside and fell into well life.... last 6 months ive picked myself up after being inspired by you and a few other. yall mean a lot to some of us and we dont even know you. have some classes and stuff id pay 300 easy to hang out for a day, and the 95 people who disliked this video FAILED YOUR CLASS AT BUDS MR KENNEDY. Id love to come chill with yall for a day, if you need a solid worker who works cheap, thats also me.
It's amazing to watch a highly trained professional execute such simple things with such precision.
The amount of training these men go through to learn weapons operation is truly incredible.
And here we are doing nothing
Thank u for the information. I’ve been shooting all my life but now I feel like I’m actually being trained with this information. There is always a better way to do things. You just showed me that. Thanks for the knowledge bro
Awesome video. I've been trying to figure out to shoot with both eyes open for a while now, and thanks to you I'm pretty sure I'm well on my way.
Thank you for proper equipment reference. Great discussion of fundamentals and getting used to your equipment, pattern of use, and drilling into repetitions.
1st time seeing this man. He explained it so cool took his time. He was not like others. The way he shows the mag exchange. Talk's and shows you in detail. Very good lesson. A American B.
Outstanding Kennedy, you're an excellent instructor! Thank you
Sergeant GJ
Love the squinting tip. Reminds me of the "go snake eyed" gun-slinging scene in Little Big Man.
Keep up the good work. Loving the content.
Lol love that movie, one of my favorite, and yes it instantly reminded me of that too.
Right eye dominate, the squinting keeps me from blinking my left eye.
I’m 45 I’ve been shooting guns since I was eight years old and the one thing is disheartening is the amount of ammo and I never trained on reloads thank you so much this will make it so much easier to actually get practice in without spending a fortune on ammo👍😎
Goood job man. I’ve learned this stuff since I was a kid. This really helped with my kids. I’ve taught them well. But you broke it down better. Hats off to you sir.
You’re a hero brother I’m really happy you help out all the police officers and you can contribute to the US in such a positive and meaningful way. I’m super looking forward to the next videos coming out!
Gotta be ready to shoot those puppies
just a tip. You need a mic you wear so when you or the camera are not facing one another the volume stays the same. Everytime you look away or the camera looks away its hard to hear you.
Agreed. TY for the tips but couldn't hear you when camera isn't facing you
And the damn gunshots are hella loud. Adds to the realism I suppose.....
Constructive criticism 👍🏽 thank you sir
This in my opinion is what I call smooth fast..........this guy is good & many here will have no idea how good until they go out to the range with a timer. Great video!
Travis. You are a gifted teacher and communicator. Thank you 🇺🇸
I appreciate that
…trust and believe. DRY FIRE “with” him. His skill-set is simple, yet crazy efficient. 👍
More videos please my man.
Dang man those drills at 7:00 make you look like a robot, your a machine bro, hope I get there one day! Great vids keep on teaching us. Love from TX.
and he squeeze his left eye....navy seal don't shoot whit both eyes open?
@@Max-ml6rj Are you sure Navy Seals don't shoot with both eyes open?
Thanks, Travis! You're a fine instructor, and your instruction was very helpful to me.
Came from shawns channel just watched your interview life changing watched the whole vid. Looking forward to watching your channel gather more information on improving my shooting skills.
Excellent training video! I'm going to have to watch this a few times!
A lot of great info packed in this one ☝️
Awesome tutorial, well done sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge....
I learned a lot from this video! Thank you for Sharing it!
I'm a beginner with firearms, so watching instructional videos on the Basics and Fundamentals is extremely useful for me.
The squinting to zone in on the target is something I hadn't heard, before, and I'm definitely going to try it. With understanding the importance of keeping both eyes open, I find that right after I blink my dominant eye, I'm able to see the front sight more clearly with both eyes. I'm hoping the squinting will resolve my need to close any eye, at any time.
It's alot of these guys who are great shooters,some great competitive shooters as well.but it's a group of guys who are great at breaking down tactics,proper weapon safety, awareness just the whole dynamic very understandable.Kennedy,Shawn Ryan,Mike Glover,the guy from T rex, Bob vogal and a few others I missed.great work fellas!
What helped me to learn both eyes open on the cheap was airsoft. My driveway is lined with palm trees on both sides. I walk briskly up the drive switching from side to side keeping both eyes open. The trees are roughly as wide as a human. You condition yourself to just point and shoot and can hit almost every time.
What a cool dude..guy is a highly trained killer but seems super down to earth and humble and a genuinely good person.
Thank you for your service. Your professionalism is obvious.
I go to the range and shoot targets and am pretty good, but I haven't "utilized my time well!" Thank you Travis for specifically going over locking & loading magazine. I truly need to practice that.
It's incredible how super professional he is.
Awesome stuff much appreciated. Thank you for your service. Would love to go over your grip.
Exactly everything I was taught day 1. Guy knows what he’s talking about.
Thanks for showing some love to the people who are somewhat novice but trying to get better each time I shoot
“Just be aware, if it does that.. good.” This has me dying hahaha
Its funny bc he was like searching for a cool word and he chose the most mundane yet effective option lol
Learned at least 2 new things here, glad you came into my algorithm.
Thank you so much!!! I’m a new gun owner and very blessed to watch your videos showing gun safety and trainings. I’m waiting for my Glock 19 gen 5 mos to arrive at my local ffl store so I can go pick it up. That’s when I want to to to my local shooting range and practice. Keep up the good videos!! God bless
Thanks million travis and shawn and to all veterans my thankyou to allfor service
Just watched Travis's interview on the Shawn Ryan Show. Much respect. Now watching his training videos. Excellent instruction.
You can tell this dude was a stoner/skateboarder/surfer before becoming a seal
Huntington Beach, Ca.
I know right! By looking at him you would never thought he was a SEAL! But this guy has seen some shit and been in some!
Derp..
He was the absolute dead opposite to a stoner. But the skateboarding is true!
He definitely has that Johnny Utah swag (people who've seen the OG Point Break know what I mean).
Amazing to watch a highly trained professional work. Machine like repeatability and speed!
You guys are the real call of duty mad respect
No ones ever told me to squint my eyes at the range. But I noticed that I do it anyway, because my glasses slide down my nose and I have to squint and crinkle my brow to bring them up a little. It’s my kill face.
Stoked to see this video after hearing you on Vigiliance Elite keep it up man if i ever make it to out to Cali I’d love to take your class
I'm here for the same reason! Just watched the VE pod cast. Keep it up amigo!
Thanks for the video.These are good things to know this day and age.Practice is key.
Most useful handgun shooting training video I have seen recently. Thanks for the knowledge and your service.
Thank you for the lesson, time to start back at step 1, lol.... iam excited to try these out!!
Hey man first off I wanna say love the video I love that you tackle every single detail by the basics of handling the firearm. I’ve been shooting for about a year and some change now I learn from a retired police force training instructor, but I’d like to get some real world tactical training as well.I was wondering if you had any insight on someone who does what you do in the Las Vegas area. I know it may be a longshot but I figured you may have some connections. Anyway love the video I’m going to subscribe and keep my eyes up. Happy shooting
Yep, happy shooting y'all
Travis thank you..you are inspiring me to be better and always be open to learn and relearn the basics...
Thank you for the support.
Just subscribed. Gonna mention your channel to my friends. Thank you for your time and efforts in making these videos for us.
When I realize I need to switch magazines I just throw the gun, scream and run
im following you cause i'm ready for you to bust out brother!!!!!! VE podcast was awesome!
Maybe you should ask him if he wants to watch Broke Back Mountain with you
Squint tip is an absolute game changer. Thank you!
Appreciate the training tips, thanks soo much for your knowledge and service.
Damn this channel reminds me of asp can’t imagine why, good video
Idk but that intro music is 🔥🔥🔥
When will those hats be back in stock? Great video and guidance, I want to show my support for good guys.
Squinting helps both the target and sights be in focus at the same time because it lowers your aperture size, which in turn expands your depth of field. Same reason peep sights on a rifle make it so much easier to have a clear sight picture of the front post and the target.
Great video! Keep making great informational videos on firearms! Would also like to hear some of your military stories!
Thanks, I see your grip on pistol is different than how I have been trained. Can you do vid on pistol grip?
That’s it man. Ground up fundamentals. I’ve never been able to master both eyes open. Always end up reverting. Still squinting after super bowl halftime.
Same with high ready drill. Humbling to say, need to change up my tools and practice program.
I did get my first gun today Glock 19 Gen 5. I am new withing the gun world. Thank you so much.
Keep the videos coming! First video iv seen that completely leaves out the intro "Im Navy Seal Special Ops..." You even saved time by leaving out your target hits and stuck to the training 👊
Just got LTC and ready to perfect HD skills. This was excellent for a newbie. Thanks. Kind regards, Bill.
Travis, Please consider a mic. when shooting these instructional videos. We loose you a few times, even with my volume up. Thank you for your continued service to our Country, these videos help the masses. God bless brother
DzNutzBe Dragon lose
@@noahholzman8262 WTF
Hahaha
your headphones aren't plugged all the way in
Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing your training videos. I have been doing it all wrong.
Yeah …. master the basics and speed will follow. Bravo
Well done. Good, solid, fundamental info. Keep it coming.
Jim Lee Yes, I’m sure terrorists and active shooters will love this video too. Always question the motives of former operators doing these type of videos. -class 190
anyone else here after watching shawn ryan?
never heard of him. is it something worth watching?
@@TXH1138 absolutely, vigilance elite
Shawn Ryan's channel is Vigilance Elite, awesome content. He did an episode that featured Travis Kennedy is totally worth watch, great episode.
Yes
Yes
Boxing stance is very comfortable for me . I provides a very stable platform for shooting. Not a lot of stress on the legs. Great shooting tips. Thank you for sharing.
I highly suggest getting a Brock String and using it daily doing Brock String exercises to get your eyes to work together. This will do wonders for your vision and shooting.
If you want to get better at shooting, you have to train the things we use to shoot. Your eyes are one of those things.
Also, your grip strength, your forearm strength, overall strength, and also your mind with things like visualization training.
Probably the best handgun basics I've seen lately. Great presentation, thank you.
I always find it entertaining when watching videos like these that seem to take place on a perfectly utopian range that only exists in most of our imaginations. Most of us are relegated to lame indoor dungeons or my favorite, the fake outdoor range that has overhead beams and makes you feel like you’re shooting through a pillbox.
Where I live we have a massive outdoor gun range it’s like 150 acres
A CPO & SEAL instructor....quite an accomplishment at such an early age. Congratulations...nothing but respect dude. Smoke 'em if ya got em... Hell, smoke 'em either way.
🇺🇸
Just got done at the range doing this and it was great! Thank you!
“He who seeks peace must prepare for war”💯🙏🏽
Travis Pastrana+Tim Kennedy= Travis Kennedy
Hahaha TEAMS
@@TravisKennedy267 Are you related to Tim Kennedy?
I am right handed and left eye dominant, it's not a problem with me having both eyes open I naturally use my left. The only time I use both sights is for super accurate shots. If I practice on full silhouettes "simulating a shootout" I shoot instinctively. When the shit hits the fan I don't have time to use the sights and line up. I need to be fast and first on Target. This man has taught me a lot and I have improved so much.
Wow the control you got on that is superior 👌
Not about speed , it's about smooth
Not about how fast you can be , it's about hitting Your TARGET
Smooth = Speed and Balance = Aim
Shoot with Full Control and Aim Softly With Total Control ( Just Smooth )
Treat Your gun like your HAND OR ARM and simply point at your TARGET
Always what I notice with the elite guys is they are always Smooth Steady and Ready and their guns seem like its just part of their hand or arm like a finger while in full CONTROL
Simple really but the practice is what brings the ability to be this way
Safety first and foremost is also always what I notice and these guys are extreme with this part of it and they have been trained in the most unsafe and real situations but yet safety is always 1st
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT GUNS SO JUST WHAT I NOTICE AND WILL IMPLEMENT WHEN I DO GET INTO IT BECAUSE I FULLY ADVOCATE FOR THE 2ND AMENDMENT
Thanks Travis
And
God Bless
Actually need this in my life, despite shooting an absurd amount in the army. We did not carry sidearms unless we wanted to carry an m9... so I just carried extra ammo. I’m going to the range saturday. Perfect timing dogg.
Consistency is key, as you know. Keep training brotha.
Good video. I like to hear many different takes on drills and basics. I always learn something.
GREAT EDUCATIONAL VIDEO TRAVIS!!!! This is your calling!!!!! God Bless you and Much Blessings and Success to your Business!!!!!
