We are so lucky that Jerry lives in a time like now with the internet. Can you imagine Ed McGivern or Bob Munden on Vortex Nation? With one of the greatest shooters ever, Jerry Miculek, you don’t have to imagine it. 40 minutes of wisdom, right here for free.
I agree 100%. The internet has brought a plethora of bad but it’s brought ALLOT more good! This man 100% could be charging ALLOT of $$$ for his wisdom and experience just like “Hickok45” but here we are getting it for free. 🙏🙏
Jerry is the oracle of all things shooting. If he's shot a million rounds, that's likely an understatement. Unrestricted respect for his accomplishment and his wisdom.
I can't get enough of listening to these types of podcasts. Great follow-up to the "I bought a pistol, now what" that's referred to in this one. Having access to the wisdom and knowledge of masters like Jerry is gold!
Jerry you're a wonderful example of a human being. Not egotistical, not condicending, repeating record breaking human machine. Kind enough, incredibly knowledgeable, skilled and patient enough to pass it on to give every person a opportunity to be better and of course fast. Thank you Jerry sir, GOD bless you and your family good sir as well as the host's.
Jerry is the man, had the privilege to shoot a match with him over 2 days. He 100% lives up to the hype as a person. The best part was hanging out hearing the stories of cool matches and world shoots over the years in crazy places.
As a professional trainer I typically don’t pay much attention to all the internet gun “wisdom” but Jerry NEVER disappoints. I ALWAYS learn something new when watching or listening to this titan of our sport.
Took some time to clean my handguns this morning and had this show up in my feed. Watched it, took some notes, hit the range, shot my best in months. Jerry is a treasure.
Thanks for this interview with the GOAT. Anyone who is just discovering Jerry Miculek. I strongly recommend you listen to every single word. I’m a professional trainer with years of experience and I’m still on the edge of my seat when he speaks.
Love Jerry. Every time I watch him explain shooting techniques. I pick up a little more . Best 10 minutes of my life. I'm no longer Disgusted with my Shot group. It is amazing at how far I have come in a short period of time.
I have many interests and I have tried to keep the lesson my grandfather passed on to me in mind every day, always try to learn something new everyday. I have never had anyone in 60 plus years communicate in any manner that compares with this gentleman.
The Man of Wisdom dropping Wisdom Bombs. Great job folks. Vortex vids are much better when the gentleman at the front left listens much more than he talks.
Jerry is amazing. His wisdom and experience can teach most any level shooter how to get better and stay that way. Learning trigger control with a DA revolver is one of the best tips there is. Many years ago I started with 1911’s and became a bit “spoiled” with the triggers in them. After running a DA wheelgun for a while I realized what true trigger control and trigger timing was all about. This subsequently carried over to the 1911’s, rifles and shotguns and took my proficiency to a whole new level. This man’s view is not only science but teaches the art of the shooting sports. Guys like him and Rob Leatham can advance all of us if listened to and learned from. Thanks for having Jerry on.
I love this video, I've probably watched it 3-4 times now since release (mainly due to algorithm auto-play), and not only have I learned from it, but something new every time. The information Jerry is providing has layers of lessons baked into it, you can just keep learning from his knowledge over and over, as I would imagine you can with lessons taught from anyone who has become a master of their craft. This video is definitely going on my favorites list.
Great video. I'll be going back, and watching this video, many times. Thank you for the extended time, it made a "Huge" difference. 10 minutes wouldn't have been close to speaking with Jerry.
I'm a new subscriber, and I know this is late to the game but, Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I've been an active recreational shooter for 30 years, and Jerry's explanation was like taking the RED pill. I've never had someone break down how your mindset and training are one, quite like that. You are truly a gifted man Jerry and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Great podcast guys, I'm looking forward to more great content like this.
Thank you for running longer than 10 minutes. It is a pleasure listening to your questions, and Jerry's answers. I have learned alot from this channel, and have been entertained. Thanks.
I love this man. In these past 20+ minutes, I learned how much of what I had been taught was just wrong AND that I have absolutely the wrong gun for me. Looking for more of Jerry's videos.
How humble is he that he picked up a technique from a Filipino woman at a competition. He's looking to improve his game by watching and learning from others. He doesn't think he's the end all be all of the shooting world.
I remember standing at a gun counter hearing stories about Jerry’s greatness. It’s been amazing to have been able to hear him break everything down in his own words because of his willingness to be on RUclips. What a time to be alive
Excellent discussion, information from Jerry, thank you. Also the interviewers were very adept in catching "in-house" terms/acroynms & having them explained so that no one would missing the intended message. Best interview I have had the priviledge of listening in many years. Thank you all!
I wouldn't know how to stop asking questions either! There are some great drills to help you gain "muscle memory" to get past that shot anticipation. 10 to the 1 is primo, imo. I appreciate the distinctions Jerry made between speed, target and defensive shooting. He's Gold 💛🔥💛 Retired LEO now civilian trainer using those experiences to move the ball forward for the law abiding. Marksmanship, pistol craft is a journey.
One of the things I've observed in this discussion is there's many more things happening in a shooting event than the brain chooses to focus on. Training the mind to focus on the relevant things and tune out the irrelevant is the most difficult part of discipline, because it's often a focus that is not natural.
I love his description of how the adrenaline rush eventually becomes a gift. After several years of competitive shooting for the USAMU, I finally got to that point when I could use that energy in certain matches. Especially, Infantry Trophy (IT) matches (on left or right swing position) and in long rang coached pair fire as number one or two shooter. We had to call our shots honestly and accurately (pair fire) and shoot fast ( IT and Long Range team fire). Oh God-I can feel the rush right now after 30 years. Thanks Jerry.
Jerry explained to me the reason I shoot better faster than slow. To me away I'm over thinking the shot when I go slow. Shooting fast is instinct. I've been doing that for years, with rifle's. Practice was so important, in sports as well. What a wealth of knowledge from Jerry.
Probably the best shooting video made. AND what made it great was that Jerry told us what we needed to know and not so much much answers to the questions asked. There is so much In formation in this video that people do not know at all and hence the question producing that information is never asked. Commentators were smart enough to trust Jerry to.provide information shooters would never otherwise hear.Consiser this:Jerry might ve a better teacher than he is a shooter, a world champion
this the same mindedness that i learned working kitchen my whole life there a million ways to do the same thing no one way is the best way to do something ive learned time saving techs from old heads ive worked alongside young "pros" fresh out school this a G paying attention to whats going on and willing to learn is what keeps him relevant and still keeps him top tier the amount of people ive worked with that swear their way is the only way also the best way always work 2x as hard
Excellent video!! I would care if it was 1hr long. Jerry is the man!! Legendary! Thank you for making this video, I have learned things need to change.
An off-topic observation: The young man on the left is wearing an Omega Speedmaster Professional wristwatch. Except for a few internal parts, it's identical to the first wristwatch worn on the moon when Buzz Aldrin stepped off the ladder. Neil Armstrong also had one but left his hanging on the LM's instrument panel to use it's chronograph function for timing checkpoints. I got one as a BD gift a few days after the moon landing. It still runs like it was made yesterday. I love handguns too.
@@Liberty-Freedom-OutdoorsWell by that logic then we shouldn't believe you either lol. And we have geosynchronous satellites which are self evident by the existence of modern GPS and international data plans. So what part of landing on the moon seems unbelievable?
@@kevintran7208 all of it ! Every aspect including nasa lost the technology to make it through the radiation belts that are above our atmosphere! That’s right don’t believe me do you’re own research look through your own eyes ! Oh and your satellite theory is still based on towers all around the world bouncing off the ionosphere the same way ham radios work there genius ! Yes there are indeed some satellites in low earth orbit
Glad to hear many things from Jerry what I teach my students. IMHO a good shooter is only a good trigger operator. A well-treated weapon will do the rest. Chapeau bas Mr Miculek. Those more than three quarters passed like five minutes. I don't even know when my tea got cold. THX!
I have bypassed this video on several occasions because another seemed more appealing. Finally I decided to take a moment to watch. Very glad I did , I am sure I will review it couple more times as well. This ability to re-watch a how-to, is one advantage to attending a class in person . Though the hands on training an instructor offers is important, for many reasons. We have alot in life to remember, like watching mystery a movie again , you just see so many clues that you missed the 1st time. Thanks for going beyond the 10 guys, time flies when it's fun or interesting. Definitely some good stuff.👍...........👉💥💨-🎯
The only man who was great was Jesus: the only man who ever took the sin of mankind upon himself and made a way for the human race to be able to have heaven as his eternal home. The bible says that (Romans 3:10 - KJV) There is none righteous, no not one. There is nothing that anyone knows that was not learned. Mr. Michulek (I hope I spelled his name correctly) has honed the particular skill of shooting throughout his life. The most important question for anyone is where they will spend eternity after their last breath on earth. There is a natural man and a spiritual man. The natural man is the small amount of time we spend on earth. After our last breath on earth, each one of us inherits our spiritual body and will spend eternity (our long home) in either heaven or hell. I will trade what I can't keep here on earth (fame or money) for what I cannot lose in eternity (my salvation). Want to know how you can have heaven as your long home? Read Romans 10:9-10 & 13. Even so, come, Lord Jesus Rev 22:20 KJV
Very informative and I love this guy. He is just so down to earth and you might take him a while to tell you where he's trying to say but it hits home. You all have a good evening or day and we'll see you later. You too. Jerry, I call you Jerry because I can't pronounce your last name. My tongue goes every wrong place. That's all I got to say about that lol
p.s. 11:30ish in...."take everything out of the performance that doesn't equate to the performance"...corollary sculptors e.g. Michelangelo's ...I removed everything that wasn't David.
Wow, I've received so many different classes on pistol or rifle shooting and 90% of them are basically teaching the same thing with a different spin or application. This literally took me back to a square one perspective. Everything Jerry talk about I'm VERY guilty of. Not only that, I've rarely looked at my fundamentals and thought " Could I do that better or different." BEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN PERIOD ON THIS TOPIC
It's a treasure to see a 37 minute runtime with Jerry Miculek on a "10 minute talk".
Worth it!!
Jerry is a national treasure. Excellent shooter, humble guy.

Same!

Lot of expertise and knowledge in this video. He dropped a lot of gems.
J.M. is the best. Great wisdom from a humble man that supercedes expectations. A true marksman. Thanx!
I could listen to Jerry all day as well. Super knowledgeable and always interesting.
What a treat! Jerry is among other things, a born teacher.
jerry is so chill and wise, what a guy
This is the kind of wisdom and knowledge i needed today and for the rest of my life....

What does Jerry mean WRT vision “seeing flat and not staring” (time 27:47)? Does that mean focused on the front sight and not at the target?
Thank you for having him on!!

Words of wisdom from the Legend.
I’m a revolver shooter. This video was amazing!
Wow, I've received so many different classes on pistol or rifle shooting and 90% of them are basically teaching the same thing with a different spin or application.
