Rob is the best defensive shooting instructor I have seen. When I got my lifetime NRA membership they sent me Rob's combat focus shooting dvds. I have gotten a lot better after integrating his lessons into my training.
Very good shooting for a complete beginner! I just started 6 months ago and I am happy to say that I now have my CPL so I am a "card-carrying good guy" (to quote Massad Ayoob), and I LOVE my S&W 380EZ.
Great vid. I know many people who go to the range several times a year & shoot from stagnant positions inside the booths & they focus on things like shooting pips out of a playing card & that Steven Seagal can light a match with a pistol. I tell them that they need to develop other skills if they want to increase their ability to succeed in a self defense situation, but most are oblivious. If you can consistently hit a target, get involved with a practical shooting club. IT'S MORE FUN TOO!
K.I.S.S.! I appreciate your teaching for people (like myself) who are not going to make this my past time sport but still want to be able to hit what I need or want to. Last time i went to the range I had watched 4 or 5 videos on how to shoot. I was trying to remember all the different points and styles and i shot all over the target. Next time I'm going to K.I.S.S. it.
1:40 I have heard very very different numbers. I heard that something like 50% of all shootings happen between 1 and 5 feet. 90% of the remaining shootings, take place between 5 and 10 feet.
This video really shows that shooting is as instinctive as pointing a finger. Its all the other parts of weapon manipulation that need to be taught; breath control, sight alignment/picture, movement, cover/concealment, drawing/holstering, range safety, etc. My cousin tried to get his wife into shooting and failed because he wanted to "teach her". He asked how I got my girlfriend into it. Easy, I gave her my Glock 19, a few simple instructions, and let her shoot. Now she owns one too. Semper Fi
only thing i dont like is how they dont mention the follow through. the squeeze and hold method is something i think every shooter should learn. it doubled my accuracy
Look carefully. Rob's may be the clear type in ear ear protection but Mitch's are a purpleish color and pretty visible if you look closely. The big ear muffs aren't the only way to get good ear pro ;)
I disagree with a couple of things I saw in this video. Some notes for those watching: At 3:51 the instructor tells him to repeat the action faster. To quote Wyatt Earp, "Speed is fine, but accuracy is everything." No one should be pressured to rush or perform a training exercise beyond their ability. I assume that was done in the interest of filming and it did make good on demonstrating the point that rushing leads to mistakes, which lead to forming bad habits, which lend themselves to creating dangerous situations. Since there was no disclaimer, I thought I should point that out, since most people watching this will be using it as a training supplement. DON'T RUSH. Speed comes with practice so practice good habits. Also probably for filming, but the instructor started giving a lot of rapid, successive commands following that. Saying that much, that fast can stress and confuse a novice shooter and can even increase the length of time they take to learn. If correcting one issue means you make another mistake, slow down. Stance...correct...Grip...check...Presentation...good. Take things one step at a time until you are doing them CORRECTLY without having to think about them, then KEEP DOING THEM. Training never ends.
The kid shot better than a lot of folks I saw at a CCW class at the range last week. The ones that were the worst had some BS "bad ass" mind set. One guy was so bad he shot both the cloths pins holding the target and then had the "instructor" call a cease fire to retrieve it so he could take it home and show it off. A little good Instruction with a open minded student goes a long way. I called out the instructor for setting a precedent of being able to call cease fires at an indoor range to retrieve targets in front of inexperienced shooters and he responded by saying "I know, I'm just trying to keep people happy". F'n Idiot. I wish ever instructor was as goo as this guy. I'd feel better about some of the folks carrying concealed.
First time shooting and he tells him to pick up the pace that don't sound right. Safety safety safety first then grip stance and everything in between next just my opinion.

Great video Rob. You have pared teaching a new shooter down to the most basic level, and shown effective target hits too.
Very helpful video. And I really like Rob's teaching style.
How awesome is it to have Rob Pincus with you during your first shots. Good work would be nice to see more videos of how he progresses.
Amazing! You've hit the nail on the head. Shooting defensively and shooting bulls eye at twenty five yards are very, very different things.

Great video and message about how basic the basics really are.
Perfection well spoken great to watch
Great video.
Great video. Extend and press, it's not tough. Square range 'kata' training puts your mind in a box.
Excellent video....well done!
Great vid.

This is a saver for sure. I'm passing it on. Thanks.
Dudu, you're an awesome teacher...but I'm sure you know that :D
Great Video!!
Good video

His shots were high because you had him focusing on the target, rather than his sights. Focus on that front sight.
well done
"Keep your finger away from this trigger part". I LIKE IT!!
Good video thanks
Great vid. The kid looks like Dexter.
Getting dynamic with McPincus!
You told him to keep his finger off the "triggery" part, lol.
I was going to like this, but the buttons not there.
only thing i dont like is how they dont mention the follow through. the squeeze and hold method is something i think every shooter should learn. it doubled
my accuracy
Your talking bullseye style shooting. They're dealing in self defense.
Is that kid wearing a hat, or is that Beiber perfection?
Perhaps, my ears are a little more sensitive than Rob's and Mitch's, but when shooting outdoors or indoors I need ear protection.
Look carefully. Rob's may be the clear type in ear ear protection but Mitch's are a purpleish color and pretty visible if you look closely. The big ear muffs aren't the only way to get good ear pro ;)
