Watched this video before I went to the range this morning and I must admit that I shot much better than I have in years. Definitely helped me clean up my grip and technique. Thanks for such an informative video!
This is helpful as I'm no longer shooting "just for fun" as an outing with the "girls" or date night with the husband. I don't do bad but now I'm shooting for self defense at home or in the streets. Accuracy is critical now. Thank you. I'll use these Wednesday.
@@taraialexander4109 Excellent! I was just trying to be funny, but I'm glad you're prepared. I hope you and your family are all safe and doing well during this crisis wherever you are.
Everytime i go to the range and have a not so great target day i come back and watch your videos. I've been shooting for 3 decades and still find your videos very helpful. I'd love to practice more but damn...the price of ammo is insane.
I love the real world, this is all you need approach you take. No bashing other dudes, you encourage shooters to adapt the fundamentals to their body mechanics. I’ve had conversations like this for years, and always run into, “well so and so was spec op and can do blah blah blah with a Glock 19, and he says this is how your supposed to do it”. My answer to that is always, “do you use his techniques at the range?”, -- “yeah”--“do you shoot as good as he does?”-- silence. You can learn something from the dumbest guy in the room if you just shut up and listen.
It's so cool to find an instructor who recognizes that we all have to take general guidelines and adapt them to our our biology. It's not about some 60-point formula. It's about keeping yourself balanced and comfortable as you apply maybe a half-dozen-point formula. Not all bodies are alike and not all guns are alike. Even if 10 people step up to the line with the exact same model of stock gun and they all follow the exact same instructions, they won't all get the exact same shot placement. We gotta compensate. We gotta alter. Excessive dogmatism during training fails to take into consideration that we all have to adapt and modify during an actual shooting anyway. So we'd better learn how to do it during training where it's safe, first. Learn the first principles of shooting, and then we should be able to move from one platform to another fairly well. Learn any one gun in some black and white manner, and we gotta start over from scratch when we go to another gun. Ugh.
I love the part about not firing until the sights are on target. Sounds so obvious but I agree we all fall victim to that pressure. Most people probably just don't want to admit it.
In a newbie and thats exactly what I noticed. When I take my time I hit my target. As soon as I start rushing myself then it's not where I want it to go. Only when I rush it and get tired of aiming, just like you said.
Good quality vid sir. Been shootin since age 8. I'm now 56. You reinforced things my father taught me. He served in the US NAVY WW2. Thank you for no Bullshit info.👍👍
Thank you for this tips, I’m a beginner, never shot or own a handgun until recently, and this makes it easier to understand. I realized that I am comfortable using either eye (even tho I use glasses since 6 yo) but as a right handed guy, I try to use my right eye. Once again, thank you and you earn a subscriber!
Try keeping both eyes open. I know it seems weird- but focus on the target, bring your firearm up to the target, align the front sight with eyes open and fire.
These “pointers” are invaluable!!!! I’m fairly accurate but want and NEEDED the exchange of sight picture to press press press of the trigger for greater accuracy! THANK YOU!
Even if someone "HATES" lasers they are absolutely fantastic tools for training - especially on trigger control. A great test is to dry fire into a mirror from across a room using a small pin-point target reflected in the mirror on the wall behind and to the side of you. Use a point in a picture, a spot on the wall or in the wall paper or even the corner tri-junction of 2 walls and the ceiling. This doubles the distance of the room/shot and also the wobbling of the point of impact; and the laser makes this extremely obvious. Eventually you should be able to consistently 'click-off' shots on a dime-sized spot without the laser's dot leaving the target. This will not only reveal problems with trigger control but also with breath control, and the best location of your finger on the trigger (for grip issues you really need live ammo to show problems). What it will NOT do, is teach you anything concerning your iron or red-dot sights, since they will not be involved or used during this type of practice. You will be watching the down-range laser dot - NOT your front post. Indeed, if you had a red-dot mounted I suggest you turn it off for this drill. I do not believe you will get this kind of feed-back from other electric type sights but this is only my untested impression. Even if you chose to remove the laser for EDC your control skills will be there.
Great content. Love the pace and tips in your videos. I never feel the information is drawn out or over simplified. You have a great way of explaining the importance of each thing.
A very detailed and straightforward video on improving accuracy that will actually help you improve your accuracy. I really appreciate your instruction and will definitely use it as I try to improve my skills. Thank you.
For the longest time, I was shooting low and left at anything last 4 yards. But the whole “press, Press, Press” thing actually helped A TON! Call it luck or whatever you want, but I was plinking shots at 20 yards by the end of the day! Thanks for the help!!!!!
Think Big Drew is the unsung hero over at carrytrainer , this channel is the best on RUclips . The guns and gear are great but the impetus for improving on one's self, the real weapon, is what makes it great. Thanks mickey and drew keep up the good fight.
I'm new into this realm of guns. I've only shot my new handgun 3xs. And the 3rd time. I can see the difference between my 1st & 2nd time. These tips have made me shoot better. Now onto my sight aliment. I still need to understand that part better.
Three beginner steps, to apply before every shot. Proper grip. Sight alignment. Trigger squeeze. Commented before I watch btw. Only taught for like 5 years. After about 3-4 years I ended up at these simple game changing steps. Awesome!
Hi first time guard here... And after a 3 years in service as a security guard.. We had our first firing. And before the day of our gun firing i was able to watch this video and i was amazed with the result.. Thanks for this video it helped a lot during our firing.. March 18, 2023 i hit 6 alpha(s) 1 charlie and 1 delta not bad for a first timer.. We only had 8 shoots for 5 mtrs and 10 mtrs distance..4bullets respectively... For a 9mm cal. Thanks
You have no idea how much this has help me with my grip. I can stay on target so much easier. thank you for showing me and others how to shoot a lot better..
every thing in this video will help you, the most important part is his taking a moments pause like he shows you, cause even if you push past the point of exhaustion and are still getting hits, you gotta take that moments pause to calm your self. That will make every thing else fall into place.
Thanks for your straight to the point tips....First time I had a grasp of the techniques without having to listen to unnecessary jargon. Thanks again, Carry.
Thanks for that advice; I tried it dry firing at home and that grip does seem to make a difference. I'll surely make these adjustments never time I'm at the range!
CarryTrainer Ditto sir. I’ll catch ya next time you’re in FL for sure. Matt says hi too. Keep putting out this great content. All the best. Oh and smack D-Bag on the ass for me. You are both handsome men. 🤘🏽🔥🇺🇸🔥🤘🏽
Excellent advice. This gentleman really gives very helpful advice.....some live shooting instructors do not explain this material so succinctly and in this much detail as he has.
Hi just went to the shooting range with my new Glock. Did all you said and shot like a pro. Keep in mind last time I shot a Glock was like 15 yrs ago. VERY AWESOME!! THANKS!!
great tips. some may sound silly but those are the ones that blank out of my mind when I shoot sometimes. Best tip? Always focus on what your doing. thanks
Good info, as always, Mick!! Thanks for taking the time, energy, and costs to produce your series of vids. You are ,without a doubt, one of the best in the industry !!! Rock On !!!
Nice video! I see your cross eye dominant like me. Rifles I have no issues shooting right handed with weak eye. Pistols I have problems shooting with my weak eye. The struggle is real
Love the focus of this video, when it comes to accuracy (marksmanship) we always like to add all these things that can help improve a shooter. When from my honest opinion marksmanship only comes down to two things. Proper sight picture and don't move the gun(natural body oscillations are fine lol).
I'm a brand new [handgun] shooter...going through the fundamentals before I do range time. This video is very straightforward and informative, I feel like I can do this thing already if I follow through on the points raised through regular practice. Great Video...Thanks to the Team.
I enjoy comp.shooters,they've fired 6 to 7 digits so I listen, I've been a shootah since I was 5 years old Thank You Dad,he showed me a lot of hunting,tracking,skeet,fishing,survival,ad infinitum.I was also taught to listen to people that may know more than you.This shooter is spot on,even in a military sense,he's talking BT for rifles and handguns,even SAWs,a firearm is the same be it in your car or mounted on a bi pod firing 30 rps.
5:39 is the "magic move" of shooting: Make the gun go bang without moving it. Every tip you get on how to shoot better is simply a means to achieve this goal. You grip, aim, breathe, stand, etc. all with the goal of moving the trigger without moving the gun.
so youre saying, control recoil, have good sight alignment and trigger control, be sure to show off your ability to talk to yourself. Wow. You are groundbreaking...I'm so glad I discovered this channel. I might have missed.
@@CarryTrainer well, I was faced with two armed gangbangers trying to kill me, but I killed them first. Professional trainers don't particularly impress me.
@@CarryTrainer in the military it was obvious that some guys can handle combat... Many cannot. Training helps, yes, but it takes more than one weekend "tactical" course per year to overcome mental or physical limitations. That's why the military uses brainwashing.
Write these 5 steps down and repeat for first 20 rounds as warm up every time out!!! If you fix these in muscle memory your shooting will steadily begin improving.Start off slow and CORRECT ON ALL 5.
I'm not pro so you can take my comments with a grain of salt. It's good to know about posture. I would say balance bending slightly towards the target. I tried some of these techniques at the range so I reviewed videos from some other experts. I learned more detail about the grip, analogy to a vice and the 70/30 left hand versus right hand pressure including forward and back pressure. Most importantly I learned about techniques to line up the target in addition to just centering the front and back. Most importantly I learned the how to keep the sight on the barrel on the target during the trigger pull. Pull pull pull didn't do it for me. I simply pull back to trigger until it reaches the breaking point. Then smoothly pull through, and softening as a reach the back of the trigger so it doesn't turn the gun at the end. I think it's good that there's awareness of 5 points. But what I learned form other people and going to the range, good balance, decent grip pressure in the right way, and keeping the sight on target at the same time was the key for me. Emptying the gun and chamber and dry firing helped develop my technique too.
Great tips I'll definitely try them out. I just picked up a Vp9sk. Took it to the range and I kept shooting low right or completely missing the target. Couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Hopefully these tips will help me out. Thank you!
If you are shooting consistently low right, and you are right handed then you may be using too much of your finger to pull the trigger, which can cause you to pull the gun to the right. Try to use the tip of your finger or just the first section of your index finger when pulling directly back on the trigger. This may help you correct this issue.
Yup yup. On that small pistol if you touch the slide lock while shooting it'll either not open up when empty or itll open with ammo in the mag. Learned the hard way lol
Great video, Mick. I watch a lot of gun education videos, you and John Lovell are two of my favorites. Love the common sense instruction with some humor thrown in. "Don't be a di#khead." Classic! Thank you!
You have an awesome sight I’m 65 years old living in Alaska for thirty years I thought I knew it all lol but I’ve whatch your sight often, your very good as a teacher I’ve learn somthing every time I whatch you you are awsome and your side kicks lol I can’t run I broke my foot in five places and I need to replace my knee on the same side shit but what I’m getting at is I don’t run I just stand my ground like sways but anyhow I always get off on other topics , I sure wood like to take your coarse, but funding is short,nothing new there lol I would just like to say thank you for those classes your a good man may god bless you and god bless America 🇺🇸
I had to put a Grip Force beavertail adapter on my Gen4 G20, G29 because slide bite. Works perfectly, no complaints and I genuinely have a better grip on it and confidence of no more Slide bite.
Thank you for these reminders. The Press Press Press I learned with my P320 and now have to apply to my stock G19. I have a range day that really messed with my head with the Glock. It was hitting way, way left. checked the new sights and realigned them, then spent an hour on trigger control. I was getting great groups on the first 3-4 shots, then they started getting "flyers" that were 5-6 inches off the main group at 15 yards. I think it was fatigue. Going to try again and see. Thanks again
Question… In some of the camera angles you look like you have a right handed grip, but you’re “aiming” with your left eye. Are you “cross” eye dominate?
Taught my wife that tight flesh master grip, and ohhhh boy. Thanks again.
Lol
my man
😂
Yes!
I dont get it

Mickey is legit. Took his class around Chicago in 2021 and I've been steadily improving every time I head out to the range.
Thank you so much. Went to the range after watching this and my groupings were so tight I had to aim in other places
Becoming a new gun owner, been a firearm enthusiast for years going through proper ways to own. I really appreciate this video. Thank you.

This is so helpful I can't even tell you how thankful i am.
I focused on these 5 tips today at the range. Best shooting day of 2020 for me. Thanks again.

YOU TAUGHT A CLASS IN SHELTON WASHINGTON....... JUNE 1 AND 2...... I might be your biggest fan on here and that's my hometown. Please come back.
Great video, Mick. I watch a lot of gun education videos, you and John Lovell are two of my favorites. Love the common sense instruction with some humor thrown in. "Don't be a di#khead." Classic! Thank you!
Thank you
You have an awesome sight I’m 65 years old living in Alaska for thirty years I thought I knew it all lol but I’ve whatch your sight often, your very good as a teacher I’ve learn somthing every time I whatch you you are awsome and your side kicks lol I can’t run I broke my foot in five places and I need to replace my knee on the same side shit but what I’m getting at is I don’t run I just stand my ground like sways but anyhow I always get off on other topics , I sure wood like to take your coarse, but funding is short,nothing new there lol I would just like to say thank you for those classes your a good man may god bless you and god bless America 🇺🇸
Great video! When working on accuracy and grouping how far out should the target be?
Most self defense shootings are within 3-7 yards, 25 yards is a good max training distance for handguns
I had to put a Grip Force beavertail adapter on my Gen4 G20, G29 because slide bite. Works perfectly, no complaints and I genuinely have a better grip on it and confidence of no more Slide bite.
I simply can not shoot with my hand canted. Every instructor teaches this. I shoot my own way and it works.
I agree.I also have my own way and are pretty accurate.
I think bottom line with anything is find what works for you, whether it's golf, shooting, baseball or whatever.
Thank you for these reminders. The Press Press Press I learned with my P320 and now have to apply to my stock G19. I have a range day that really messed with my head with the Glock. It was hitting way, way left. checked the new sights and realigned them, then spent an hour on trigger control. I was getting great groups on the first 3-4 shots, then they started getting "flyers" that were 5-6 inches off the main group at 15 yards. I think it was fatigue. Going to try again and see. Thanks again
New sub! I wish I would have found you years ago instead of discovering these truths the long hard way! I like how you explain things.
video on what to do with eyes while shooting? close 1 eye, both open, etc
Great vid.
Great fundamentals make great shooters
As a soon first time gun owner (with alot of research) this was the most informational thank you!
I feel like he's gonna sell me zalinsky brake pads!
He teaches skills for the American shooter, because that's who he is and that's who he cares about

The canted hand really improved my shots
Another great and informative video Mickey. Stay safe and God Bless.
Question… In some of the camera angles you look like you have a right handed grip, but you’re “aiming” with your left eye. Are you “cross” eye dominate?
