Mr.Doverfield my outdoor range has ridiculous range safety officers, the nearby indoor ranges also have a no rapid fire rule but I’ve never seen or heard of them saying anything about it lol
TacticalHeathen556 I kid you not, when I shot 5 rounds in 3 seconds the range officer threatened to charge me an extra $10 per every round I shot “too fast”
@@MrDoverfield that would be a range I'd never revisit, and let them know why on the way out. That being said, not all ranges are equal. You may have to get a membership at a private range to crank up your speed
I've always found it funny that private ranges would even have a 1 round per second rule, but for some incredible reason they do. It makes practicing pointless. I don't need to shoot a lot with my deer rifle to be good with it at 100 or even 200 yards. That's simple. What everyone needs a lot of practice doing is drawing and putting rounds into the kill box as fast as possible. Your life may actually depend on your ability to do that. A mugger isn't going to wait on you to draw and fire, and they're not going to wait for you to reacquire your sight picture after the first shot. I may actually dislike Fudds more than gun grabbers.
you don't even need to shoot that much, dry firing is a better way of training, as you can catch mistakes easier, and practice precise manipulation. However, that takes discipline to do it consistently, and people are lazy, and prefer to make excuses.
E Rid No it’s not. It does nothing for recoil control and desensitizes most shooters. To say that dry firing is a better way of training than actually shooting is utter bullshit.
Love the videos, Lucas. You’re teaching a good amount of my generation the balance to speed and accuracy and how we can really help train to get better instead of blowing thousands of dollars to do multiple courses for the same material. Not to say some courses obviously don’t teach good lessons, I just hate when people say you really need them to be good at your fundamentals and foundation for better shooting.
Just so you are aware.....I''m a FBI Firearms Certified Firearms Instructor for my department.....I use your videos for instruction for my Police Department. Really helps. Thanks for your work.
Yes! I was at the range today practicing techniques from your earlier video, glad to see a new one, unfortunately for me I have a long way to go to get to your level. Thanks for te video and I'm looking forward to your next.
Lucas, I have improved tenfold since watching you. Bought a timer two years ago. I’ve been working with my daughter and wife as well, both improving greatly!!
Speed and Accuracy. The yin and yang. Great formula to maximise your results and translates not just in shooting but in all other skill sets / tasks in life. This video was a great demonstration of that by someone in the top 1% of something. Love the video
I think I appreciated your rifle demonstration the most at around 11:11... your rate of fire stayed about the same, but you sped the transitions. Early on in the fundamental skill development process, it's OK for newer shooters to take their time to focus on on the essentials of sight alignment, sight picture, and trigger squeeze, but there's no reason at all to not push them to move faster during those transition periods. Very well done, brother. Keep up the great work.
What helped me be faster at transitions is basically while you're shooting Target A, You're already mentally geared up for Target B. The task of shooting is slower than your brain if you do that so you're basically just waiting for the trigger to stop being pressed and boom you move on immediately after the last shot breaks. In theory the gun may still be cycling as you begin to transition. I'm definitely not Lucas fast but I do win local matches so I'm not the slowest shooter around.
Tactical psychology. This guy Lucas is a specimen of human ambition. Professionalism pushed to limits. This is the kind of stuff that makes us great. We’ve got to appreciate this guy.
for those that are saying this doesn't apply to a combat scenario there is a time and place for both, but the techniques and skill of the shooting you see here are much more difficult than the slow and smooth approach and just as relevant if not more so because this type of shooting will compound accuracy and other mechanics. the man can shoot just accept it....
The truth is that more skills do not weigh you down. I don't understand why there are so many haters in the comment section talking shit about a video on shooting fundamentals. It never hurts to know more.
Some of these comments sounds like excuses from guys that hates the fact the Lucas is way faster than them so they try to justify it by making these type of training are not relevant in a real gun fight. Y’all sound worst than private’s from basic training making excuses for being slow. We all know you’ll low key apply these fundamentals next time you go to the range. Just because you’re a veteran, don’t think you’re too good to learn from someone who never been in combat. This is coming from a veteran btw OIF 1. Keep your mind open. These are all meaningful techniques.
Robert Joiner how so? Anyone can call anyone dullshit? By the way what does that mean? There is so mucb hate for Lucas on these comments including yours. Just cause he has not been in combat does that not means he doesn’t know his craft? I’m willing to bet he’s s better shooter than you!
rjfolks he’s a quiet professional that’s not quite professional about being a quiet professional. Or he could be one of those guys who were attached to a team and not exactly a team guy. Team guys don’t reply to a discussion with fallacy response.
I've seen comments like "well, I was in the military, so I'm better then you" far too often on RUclips. Many military members are very under trained imo. It depends on your unit though.
Your logical thought process for riflery and pistol craft has taught me alot and i have incorporated it into my dry/ live fire drills. Definitely information worth its weight in gold 😎👍Thank you
I appreciate the detailed instructions. Incorporating these techniques and mindset have improved my shooting enormously I'm a beginner and just getting better and better once again preciate it thanks.
Yeah, I notice that about him too (recoil management). Effing unreal. I am sure he’s shooting stock, OTB ammo, but WOW, like ZIP in recoil, with Rifles too. Wish I could emulate THAT!
@@mtwohawks You actually can. It is simply a factor of stance and isometric tension. That said, as a shooter, you see a lot more recoil that an observer doesn't see. For example record yourself shooting and compare the footage to what you felt. You will be surprised at how little your body actually moves. There is a reason they call it felt recoil, the recoil is controllable, we just tell ourselves it isn't and it is a self fulfilling prophecy.
Konflict that’s because the front of his gun weighs 12 pounds with all that shit on it lol. Not hating, I like it. Just never saw the point of getting a lightweight rifle just to make it heavy....I had a ruck sack that was heavy enough.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj That makes alot of sense actually. I recently purchased a heavy buffer and said that it reduces felt recoil. I'm going to the range this weekend to see what difference it makes to said felt recoil. Thanks for the comment
@@supertrooper7403 well I think Lucas has the knowledge and skill to utilize all of the accessories on his rifles. But Im with ya, I like a light rifle for the fact that if SHTF, then I don't have to carry a heavy ass rifle everywhere I go.
Love it! Ive been following you for a few years now and ive been learning so much from you’re videos always on point and 100% on everything you do. You’re a huge motivation and i really appreciate it! Thanks Lucas!
we need more people like you in the world. and thank you for yet another great and very informative video. I have learned a lot from watching your channel and have became a much better, faster shooter from what I have learned from your website and youtube.
I would like to applaud the cameraman here. Lucas, as always, your shooting is on point. I just want to point out the cinematography is also incredible. This is the epidemy of teamwork here. The coordination between you two is that of a very well trained fire team. KUDOS!
Dude I greatly appreciate you guys sending me that new holster. It's very appreciated, and furthermore I absolutely love it, it's perfect retention and quite comfortable.
I've been watching lucas for awhile and I love his dedication to his skill with firearms..I want a range myself so I can train this hard....I've come to the conclusion that we need to hire people of this skill level to take out school shooters...just saying...If they feel like they can take innocent lives..then they need to be prepared to do combat with a pro. Nuff said
Love this. Very good points made and I've recently purchased an AR and a reloading kit, so I'll be focusing on muscle memory, sight alignment, reloading and speed in doing allot of shooting. Planning over 120 round per week
Lovely video as always! The way you explain urgency is straight forward for target transitioning especially. Simply saying your train of thought out aloud helps one find speed improvements.
Great video and probably the most important topic for individuals carrying a gun. Going to the range is a great tool but if you don’t mix it up and push to grow your boundaries your just target practicing.
He’s great at shooting, no doubt about it. Incredibly accurate, and fast. If your shooting at a range, watch these videos all day and learn it. Just shooting in general. But if you’re deployed in the military, or a police officer in combat, your main focus isn’t shooting, it’s not getting hit, so you can get the last shot. You can fire 20 rounds at somebody dead accurate, but maybe they’re behind cover or just something, now you’re too focused on how your shooting and how fast and how accurate. Now you’re shot because you were thinking about shooting instead of thinking about where you might get hit from. A true warrior knows when to get out and live to fight another day. I’m not bashing on anybody, but these drills are good when you’re shooting at something that isn’t shooting back. Anyway, I’m not trying to hurt any feelings, I’m just trying help out people who may be in combat, not competition shooting, and I love these vids. Keep them coming.
As Lucas states, besides tactics and the ever changing development of a firefight, this is how to should train to shoot. Obviously these drills also don’t account multiple friendlies engaged around you. It’s just simple fundamentals of building your speed and drill work.
@Maine Jackal I don't think you have a clue what you are talking about. Nothing he said is wrong, nor does it contradict what Lucas has put out. You fanboys are cringy sometimes. Quit the group think and be open to learning from multiple perspectives.
Sometimes I watch his videos, download and print a few of his targets and go to the range with youtube in hand to make sure I don't miss a training step.... Then other times I watch his videos, grab a bucket of ice cream (code for lots of beer) and feel bad about myself. Lucas, You're an incredible shooter. I have been using your training targets and watching the videos, gotta keep grindin' away. I will be ordering my first Sidecar after payday!!! Can't wait
Man, have you ever been invited to work for a PMC? I'm pretty sure someone ever told you something like "why didn't you enlist and join the military?". I'm learning a lot with your videos. Thanks! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷.
Hey Lucas I noticed you started wearing breathing mask while shooting. Its a hot topic in my country discussed by shooters. Have you tested your blood lead levels? Maybe you should make a vid about it? No idea what level of awareness of this subject is there in US but here in Europe you start to see more and more gun owners protecting not only their eyes and ears but also their lungs. Inhaling gases created in process of powder burn can be hazardous.
Not taking anything away from your skills as you are wicked fast but as I was once told, “slow is smooth, smooth is fast” and also “get good and the speed will come”. Great videos man, keep it up.
My apologies captain cool, I made a point of being complimentary of your speed. I never said we trained to be slow however. My training did get me back to the USA from some of the most violent places on the planet with people who were actually shooting back at me with only cuts, scrapes, bruises and hearing damage while you were still shitting your diaper.
No disrespect intended, it’s just a problematic saying UNLESS it is properly explained. I often see it explained poorly which results in people becoming complacent and expecting to get faster simply doing the same thing over and over. It only works if you push yourself constantly
T.REX ARMS wow dude...you’ve become a real asshole. Lost a subscriber and a customer with your reply to S Holland. You’ve got to know that people won’t agree with everything you do. Shouldn’t post videos if you can’t take the flak.
Everyone is so focused on being “tacti-cool” vs actually training to be effective and efficient in all aspects of shooting, whether it be for fun or purpose. Yes putting rounds down range accurately is very important, you’re accountable for every round, but speed in transitions, reloads, off the x/position changes need to be deliberate and, as you said, urgent.
Have you ever gotten any noise complaints from neighbors? (if you have any). I am looking into getting some land so I can shoot at my own leisure since there are only bench ranges by me and they are over an hour away from me. I would also hunt the property but being 20 I have no idea of lease agreements and all that fun stuff
Check the oridanincs for the township you find your property in.....😉 If you have noticed his is like a old gravel pit.....it has a berm on all sides...
@@robertfoote3255 I already know to look at city law and all that. And I know burms are a must I was more concerned about complaints and if legal trouble could come of it lmao
@@KELEVRA004 well than you already know... If there is no (law) for a given "loud noise" or gunshot complaints than.... you know that you can! In my area it has a time cut off.....so if your not training at night there is no issue... They can petition or move! And I will continue to "practice" until it changes. The fact that it is a "safe" range negates the complaint until the "Sound" oridanance is changed.... Until then pew pew!
After years of watching his videos and being a shooter myself you have to know mindset and to know us younger shooters really need to change the way the old stuff is because things had at technology new technologies everyday and you've got to adapt to the environment or to certain situations and you got to push yourself and train weak-side and stuff that you're not used a training and push yourself that way like always thanks Lucas great info shoot straight train hard much love from kannapolis North Carolina
@@strongishman7871 He committed the ultimate sin in combat. He left his team without trying to help them. I'm a combat veteran and would never do that. There is a video of it also.
@@mainnerd2222 We have been at war for almost 18 years. There are plenty of guys out there with real experience. That know what works and what doesn't. CQB shooting is a dangerous game I'd rather learn from someone who did it for real. Not some snake oil salesman teaching theory. More to it than speed and a cool rifle. I recommend Robert Keller for the no bullshit approach.
A few decades ago, I spent a few years practicing jiu jitsu at a rather unusual dojo. When I first started to train, I noticed how much faster the senior students and black belts were than the junior students and beginners. Years later, I one day realized that I was one of those fast senior students. And you know what - during all of my training sessions, I never heard anyone mention the word "speed." Speed comes with practice - perfect practice. Doing things until you can literally do them with your eyes closed and without thinking. If speed doesn't come, it's because you're not training enough. The experience taught me to not worry about speed. Just practice. If you practice enough, the speed will be there when you need it.
For all of those saying "it's unrealistic for combat" we practiced similar techniques like this on our ranges, before being deployed to Afghanistan. From getting a quick site picture, to transition to our side arms, to identifying multiple targets and getting rounds off and on the targets as fast as possible. This helped with our muscle memory whenever we got into a fire fight. You have the adrenaline going so you don't consciously do it, but you do it subconsciously because that's how our bodies and minds were taught to do it. Now, I'm not saying that we had a lot of close quarter combat, most of the time they were 300+ meters away, but with those few times they were 10 - 20 meters from us, I'm glad we had that training of quick draw, quick sight picture, "run and gun" type training. Nothing would've been worse than looking over the berm you're behind and 15 meters away you meet the face of the guy that has been shooting at you, and you're slower on the uptick than he is. I always called this kind of shooting "blitzkrieg", because you're trying to overwhelm your opponent with your speed and accuracy. Pit a one or two guys up against a guy that can draw, get a round off accurately and faster than them, and you'll have your winner.
Could you talk about weight distribution while moving and foot placement? What you need to be conscious of etc. I see a lot of movement and preparing to move before you've finished shooting. I was wondering what your thought process is on this and how to better improve. It feels like its a fairly mundane subject but being able to plant yourself quickly and efficiently has to be important to both speed and accuracy. Thanks
When you suck at airsoft and watch Lucas’ videos in the hopes of getting better. Or is that just me? 😅 But yes the idea of urgency, I agree some people lack that, and that it would greatly improve one’s performance if people quit being complacent.
Love your work ethic Lucas. I use to watch you and Baret and a few others when I first started shooting back in 2014 when speed and being 3 rounds sub second was life and it made me into the shooter I am today. I like you the most though because you’re not a gun bunny and don’t push products because you get them for free. I wish you and your company the best! Don’t ever feel the need to explain yourself and how you made it to anyone. Haters gonna hate and ain’ters gonna ain’t! 😂
I really like the way you draw your pistol. Support hand touches the tummy while the strong hand is on the pistol and then meet together in the middle. This is for the safety precaution not to expose the support hand to the muzzle of the firearms. This is how they teach us at Front sight Firearms Institute.
Problem with a “course” is you know what to expect. In real life your not shooting at targets standing still and or In the same place every time. You also are not the only one shooting you will also be shot at. I believe this sort or training is a “fantasy” style training. Military has active training with real bodies and there is a reason for this. I’m not saying this training Is ineffective because its a must do to get familiar with your weapon. However, it doesn’t make you “good and prepared.” Being quick isn’t a bad thing but being aware and training your senses is something you want to work on more than being quick. Learning to train your eyes to hit moving targets and or hitting targets while you are on the move is more realistic. So get some buddies go get some realistic paint maker guns and get out there and train. You will be amazed if this is the only training you have done how fast you get shot. All in all this is a great video!
Really enjoy your videos Lucas - very good audiobooks about practice or tactical shooting P.S: why don’t you use suppressors from OSS? They are pretty reliable and your rifles won’t cost you too much malfunctions and dirt with easy cleaning
Any tips for people who only have access to "3 seconds in between each shot" ranges? I'd love a good one-liner I could say to the range officer to change his mind so I can shoot fast. I was running some drills at an indoor range and was more accurate than the people taking their time to the left and right of me and the R.O. comes up to me and tells ME to slow down. Didn't even look at my target. I asked why and he didn't have an answer besides those are the rules.
Training to be faster is always a good idea. Most people don’t train enough to speed up. If you can’t do it slow then you can’t do it fast. “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast”. Working in a environment where we clear houses and outside environments for armed suspects, the key is slow methodical searches so we don’t miss anything. Obviously there are times for speed, ie a gunfight or preservation of life. You (Lucas) are amazing fast and I’m super jealous of how much ammo you shoot. Wish we got to train and shoot that much, but not realistic for our agency. Fast 3 gun shooting I believe can help with real world application, but they will still be very different. I think some of the best training is sim rounds. Get your buddy to play bad guy and have him really try to kill you. Definitely changes the way you see shooting/ gunfights. Good info as always.

Your logical thought process for riflery and pistol craft has taught me alot and i have incorporated it into my dry/ live fire drills. Definitely information worth its weight in gold 😎👍Thank you

@@jt1946 There is a different between shooting at a stationary target and target that shoot back.
I think this was the best training video you have done so far. A ton of useful information. It’s simple yet effective. 👍🏻
"You look like a robot." Robots are efficient and they aren't lazy.
We must train to fight the robots anyway.
I appreciate the detailed instructions. Incorporating these techniques and mindset have improved my shooting enormously I'm a beginner and just getting better and better once again preciate it thanks.
The recoil management is crazy!! Just watch how minimum his muzzle climb is.
Yeah, I notice that about him too (recoil management). Effing unreal. I am sure he’s shooting stock, OTB ammo, but WOW, like ZIP in recoil, with Rifles too. Wish I could emulate THAT!
@@mtwohawks You actually can. It is simply a factor of stance and isometric tension. That said, as a shooter, you see a lot more recoil that an observer doesn't see. For example record yourself shooting and compare the footage to what you felt. You will be surprised at how little your body actually moves. There is a reason they call it felt recoil, the recoil is controllable, we just tell ourselves it isn't and it is a self fulfilling prophecy.
Konflict that’s because the front of his gun weighs 12 pounds with all that shit on it lol. Not hating, I like it. Just never saw the point of getting a lightweight rifle just to make it heavy....I had a ruck sack that was heavy enough.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj That makes alot of sense actually. I recently purchased a heavy buffer and said that it reduces felt recoil. I'm going to the range this weekend to see what difference it makes to said felt recoil. Thanks for the comment
@@supertrooper7403 well I think Lucas has the knowledge and skill to utilize all of the accessories on his rifles. But Im with ya, I like a light rifle for the fact that if SHTF, then I don't have to carry a heavy ass rifle everywhere I go.
Love it! Ive been following you for a few years now and ive been learning so much from you’re videos always on point and 100% on everything you do. You’re a huge motivation and i really appreciate it! Thanks Lucas!
solid info
I always appreciate seeing a RUclipsr I respect and subscribe to, making positive comments on another channel I respect and subscribe to.
we need more people like you in the world. and thank you for yet another great and very informative video. I have learned a lot from watching your channel and have became a much better, faster shooter from what I have learned from your website and youtube.
How To Shoot Faster:
Step 1: Acquire Full-Auto Weapon.
Yeah but good luck getting one without being in the military
I would like to applaud the cameraman here. Lucas, as always, your shooting is on point. I just want to point out the cinematography is also incredible. This is the epidemy of teamwork here. The coordination between you two is that of a very well trained fire team. KUDOS!
Skipped slap on mp5 5/10
Daddy Garand told me that it's faster without the tactical slap.
@@RaptorTroll360 Fuck faster, Looking cool is what counts.
Trex is a good name for you, beast man. I’ve been following the tips you lay down and man what a big difference. Thx man

That was the fast reload ive seen @ 5:02
You must have missed the one at 5.58. That one is definitely a faster reload.
He just equipped the fast mag perk
Dude I greatly appreciate you guys sending me that new holster. It's very appreciated, and furthermore I absolutely love it, it's perfect retention and quite comfortable.
I've been watching lucas for awhile and I love his dedication to his skill with firearms..I want a range myself so I can train this hard....I've come to the conclusion that we need to hire people of this skill level to take out school shooters...just saying...If they feel like they can take innocent lives..then they need to be prepared to do combat with a pro. Nuff said
Love this. Very good points made and I've recently purchased an AR and a reloading kit, so I'll be focusing on muscle memory, sight alignment, reloading and speed in doing allot of shooting. Planning over 120 round per week
That mp5/Eotech combo...
*heavy breathing
Lovely video as always! The way you explain urgency is straight forward for target transitioning especially. Simply saying your train of thought out aloud helps one find speed improvements.
“Aim-bot activated”
Tyr1n232 he is the real aim bot. He shoots more rounds in a year than most people in a lifetime
T1000 confirmed.
Great video and probably the most important topic for individuals carrying a gun. Going to the range is a great tool but if you don’t mix it up and push to grow your boundaries your just target practicing.
Need a 1014 or shotgun drill video (shooting, reloading, tips..)
Daytona Diavel shoot 2 load 2 drill
Start with two rounds, expend them, kid two, repeat. Then do it moving, etc
There is absolutely nothing I can say about this video that I haven't already said before. Keep it up TREX ARMS I'm a fan for life👍
I would never want to be on a battlefield against this guy
Jared Daniel haven’t you heard? Since he’s not an operator none of his fundamentals would translate over to combat. 😂

Really great video! The filming and audio is on point and your information is clear and concise.
He’s great at shooting, no doubt about it. Incredibly accurate, and fast. If your shooting at a range, watch these videos all day and learn it. Just shooting in general. But if you’re deployed in the military, or a police officer in combat, your main focus isn’t shooting, it’s not getting hit, so you can get the last shot. You can fire 20 rounds at somebody dead accurate, but maybe they’re behind cover or just something, now you’re too focused on how your shooting and how fast and how accurate. Now you’re shot because you were thinking about shooting instead of thinking about where you might get hit from. A true warrior knows when to get out and live to fight another day. I’m not bashing on anybody, but these drills are good when you’re shooting at something that isn’t shooting back. Anyway, I’m not trying to hurt any feelings, I’m just trying help out people who may be in combat, not competition shooting, and I love these vids. Keep them coming.
Always what I think of, these drills also don't take into account of reacting to a target or a changing environment.
As Lucas states, besides tactics and the ever changing development of a firefight, this is how to should train to shoot.
Obviously these drills also don’t account multiple friendlies engaged around you. It’s just simple fundamentals of building your speed and drill work.
@Maine Jackal I don't think you have a clue what you are talking about. Nothing he said is wrong, nor does it contradict what Lucas has put out. You fanboys are cringy sometimes. Quit the group think and be open to learning from multiple perspectives.
Simple reminder that not all heroes wear capes. You're a modern day role model. Great job as always!! 🥇
the mp5 clone is so sick
Sometimes I watch his videos, download and print a few of his targets and go to the range with youtube in hand to make sure I don't miss a training step.... Then other times I watch his videos, grab a bucket of ice cream (code for lots of beer) and feel bad about myself. Lucas, You're an incredible shooter. I have been using your training targets and watching the videos, gotta keep grindin' away. I will be ordering my first Sidecar after payday!!! Can't wait
I need to incorporate these tips into Blackout
Man, have you ever been invited to work for a PMC? I'm pretty sure someone ever told you something like "why didn't you enlist and join the military?". I'm learning a lot with your videos. Thanks! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷.
PMC generally want to recruit from the military, also combat skills is a broad umbrella term and shooting is just one of them.
TLDR: Be faster by not being slow. People are too slow becausd they arent fast enough.
Absolutely flawless work. Role model for shooters!
Hey Lucas I noticed you started wearing breathing mask while shooting. Its a hot topic in my country discussed by shooters. Have you tested your blood lead levels? Maybe you should make a vid about it? No idea what level of awareness of this subject is there in US but here in Europe you start to see more and more gun owners protecting not only their eyes and ears but also their lungs. Inhaling gases created in process of powder burn can be hazardous.
thats exactly why he does it. i think on a video on his insta story he was talking about it, mostly due to the thousands of rounds shooting supressed
Does anyone know what kind of mask he was using?
Not taking anything away from your skills as you are wicked fast but as I was once told, “slow is smooth, smooth is fast” and also “get good and the speed will come”. Great videos man, keep it up.
Slow is just slow. Dumb saying as people use it to justify laziness. If you don’t push yourself, you’ll always be slow. Be smooth at first, then push.
My apologies captain cool, I made a point of being complimentary of your speed. I never said we trained to be slow however. My training did get me back to the USA from some of the most violent places on the planet with people who were actually shooting back at me with only cuts, scrapes, bruises and hearing damage while you were still shitting your diaper.
No disrespect intended, it’s just a problematic saying UNLESS it is properly explained. I often see it explained poorly which results in people becoming complacent and expecting to get faster simply doing the same thing over and over. It only works if you push yourself constantly
T.REX ARMS wow dude...you’ve become a real asshole. Lost a subscriber and a customer with your reply to S Holland. You’ve got to know that people won’t agree with everything you do. Shouldn’t post videos if you can’t take the flak.
what is your home defense setup Lucas?
You'll find out when you try to break in, I guess.
First video in a while that actually makes me want to get out and train to shoot better. Great job and thanks.
Everyone is so focused on being “tacti-cool” vs actually training to be effective and efficient in all aspects of shooting, whether it be for fun or purpose. Yes putting rounds down range accurately is very important, you’re accountable for every round, but speed in transitions, reloads, off the x/position changes need to be deliberate and, as you said, urgent.
Amazing videos. Super efficient teaching. Keep up the great work!
Have you ever gotten any noise complaints from neighbors? (if you have any). I am looking into getting some land so I can shoot at my own leisure since there are only bench ranges by me and they are over an hour away from me. I would also hunt the property but being 20 I have no idea of lease agreements and all that fun stuff
That's my goal too
Depends on where you live.
Check the oridanincs
for the township you find your property in.....😉
If you have noticed his is like a old gravel pit.....it has a berm on all sides...
@@robertfoote3255 I already know to look at city law and all that. And I know burms are a must I was more concerned about complaints and if legal trouble could come of it lmao
@@KELEVRA004 well than you already know...
If there is no (law) for a given "loud noise" or gunshot complaints than....
you know that you can!
In my area it has a time cut off.....so if your not training at night there is no issue...
They can petition or move! And I will continue to "practice" until it changes.
The fact that it is a "safe" range negates the complaint until the "Sound" oridanance is changed.... Until then pew pew!
After years of watching his videos and being a shooter myself you have to know mindset and to know us younger shooters really need to change the way the old stuff is because things had at technology new technologies everyday and you've got to adapt to the environment or to certain situations and you got to push yourself and train weak-side and stuff that you're not used a training and push yourself that way like always thanks Lucas great info shoot straight train hard much love from kannapolis North Carolina
Lucas, you may only be 12 years old, but you have mad skills and a great head on your shoulders. Keep up the good work, and keep the content coming. 👍
I was at the range today missed my first three rounds I referenced your videos and started slapping the steal your shit works keep it up
its from trex so I like even before I watched the vid. 👍
I pray to never get in a gunfight with Lucas. Speed, Consistency, Technique, Accuracy. Good stuff!
Sense of Urgency...getting shot at will give you that. 💀😀⌚👍
Something ole Lucas knows nothing about. He'd probably out run James Yeager lol.

@@gregchabot7160 Pulling the veteran card, haha!
@@mainnerd2222 We have been at war for almost 18 years. There are plenty of guys out there with real experience. That know what works and what doesn't. CQB shooting is a dangerous game I'd rather learn from someone who did it for real. Not some snake oil salesman teaching theory. More to it than speed and a cool rifle. I recommend Robert Keller for the no bullshit approach.
A few decades ago, I spent a few years practicing jiu jitsu at a rather unusual dojo. When I first started to train, I noticed how much faster the senior students and black belts were than the junior students and beginners. Years later, I one day realized that I was one of those fast senior students. And you know what - during all of my training sessions, I never heard anyone mention the word "speed." Speed comes with practice - perfect practice. Doing things until you can literally do them with your eyes closed and without thinking. If speed doesn't come, it's because you're not training enough. The experience taught me to not worry about speed. Just practice. If you practice enough, the speed will be there when you need it.
Lucas has got better footwork than most professional athletes I could mention, boxers and football players included.
Thanks man! Best shooting instructor on RUclips.
I mean, he literally has "bot" in his name. OMG hax!
So smooth man. Really enjoying the flow you rock through these videos.
Lucas is the good Terminator that will help us defeat Zucc and his Facebook android army
For all of those saying "it's unrealistic for combat" we practiced similar techniques like this on our ranges, before being deployed to Afghanistan. From getting a quick site picture, to transition to our side arms, to identifying multiple targets and getting rounds off and on the targets as fast as possible. This helped with our muscle memory whenever we got into a fire fight. You have the adrenaline going so you don't consciously do it, but you do it subconsciously because that's how our bodies and minds were taught to do it.
Now, I'm not saying that we had a lot of close quarter combat, most of the time they were 300+ meters away, but with those few times they were 10 - 20 meters from us, I'm glad we had that training of quick draw, quick sight picture, "run and gun" type training. Nothing would've been worse than looking over the berm you're behind and 15 meters away you meet the face of the guy that has been shooting at you, and you're slower on the uptick than he is.
I always called this kind of shooting "blitzkrieg", because you're trying to overwhelm your opponent with your speed and accuracy. Pit a one or two guys up against a guy that can draw, get a round off accurately and faster than them, and you'll have your winner.
AK vids? 👍👍
Could you talk about weight distribution while moving and foot placement? What you need to be conscious of etc. I see a lot of movement and preparing to move before you've finished shooting. I was wondering what your thought process is on this and how to better improve. It feels like its a fairly mundane subject but being able to plant yourself quickly and efficiently has to be important to both speed and accuracy.
Thanks
When you suck at airsoft and watch Lucas’ videos in the hopes of getting better.
Or is that just me? 😅
But yes the idea of urgency, I agree some people lack that, and that it would greatly improve one’s performance if people quit being complacent.
Wow that was one of the best videos I have ever watched. Thank you. Very cool and I’m going to apply this.
First walk, then fly
Love your work ethic Lucas. I use to watch you and Baret and a few others when I first started shooting back in 2014 when speed and being 3 rounds sub second was life and it made me into the shooter I am today. I like you the most though because you’re not a gun bunny and don’t push products because you get them for free. I wish you and your company the best! Don’t ever feel the need to explain yourself and how you made it to anyone. Haters gonna hate and ain’ters gonna ain’t! 😂
Need to just use those targets that light up randomly to show these commenters what you can really do
I really like the way you draw your pistol. Support hand touches the tummy while the strong hand is on the pistol and then meet together in the middle. This is for the safety precaution not to expose the support hand to the muzzle of the firearms. This is how they teach us at Front sight Firearms Institute.
Problem with a “course” is you know what to expect. In real life your not shooting at targets standing still and or In the same place every time. You also are not the only one shooting you will also be shot at. I believe this sort or training is a “fantasy” style training. Military has active training with real bodies and there is a reason for this. I’m not saying this training Is ineffective because its a must do to get familiar with your weapon. However, it doesn’t make you “good and prepared.” Being quick isn’t a bad thing but being aware and training your senses is something you want to work on more than being quick. Learning to train your eyes to hit moving targets and or hitting targets while you are on the move is more realistic. So get some buddies go get some realistic paint maker guns and get out there and train. You will be amazed if this is the only training you have done how fast you get shot. All in all this is a great video!
I don't think his video ever mentioned shooting fundamentals is a substitution for combat skill. This is a video about marksmanship.
you're the man. would be amazing to see camera shots that complement the necessary speed you need to round corners.
and break the 180 degree rule for cameramen.
Not everyone has a range they can move around like you do though.
Excellent advice. This transfers to so many different things.
I hope youre not in john wick 3! I like keanu. Id hate to see him die
No, Lucas. I. AM your father!
Just found your channel. Impressed. Wish there were more good people like you all running companies and ranges; esp. out here in cali.
Way to flag your camera man with that mp5 brohhh.
I think the most important thing is the draw/presentation. Good videos emulating real world style drills. Nice stuff 👍
Can i have a AR15
Go buy one.
You most certainly can....in America you have whatever you are willing to work for!

Will you ever put out a list with times you consider good for various shooting tasks so we can have it to compete against?
Really enjoy your videos Lucas - very good audiobooks about practice or tactical shooting
P.S: why don’t you use suppressors from OSS? They are pretty reliable and your rifles won’t cost you too much malfunctions and dirt with easy cleaning
Some people were just born to do certain things. Watch this video, for my case and point. Excellent work young Lucas.
Any tips for people who only have access to "3 seconds in between each shot" ranges? I'd love a good one-liner I could say to the range officer to change his mind so I can shoot fast. I was running some drills at an indoor range and was more accurate than the people taking their time to the left and right of me and the R.O. comes up to me and tells ME to slow down. Didn't even look at my target. I asked why and he didn't have an answer besides those are the rules.
Training to be faster is always a good idea. Most people don’t train enough to speed up. If you can’t do it slow then you can’t do it fast. “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast”.
Working in a environment where we clear houses and outside environments for armed suspects, the key is slow methodical searches so we don’t miss anything. Obviously there are times for speed, ie a gunfight or preservation of life.
You (Lucas) are amazing fast and I’m super jealous of how much ammo you shoot. Wish we got to train and shoot that much, but not realistic for our agency. Fast 3 gun shooting I believe can help with real world application, but they will still be very different.
I think some of the best training is sim rounds. Get your buddy to play bad guy and have him really try to kill you. Definitely changes the way you see shooting/ gunfights.
Good info as always.
Yep. I do sims here and there with teams and this all carries over nicely. :)
@@TREXARMS you should definitely post one of room clearing with sim rounds.
That’s tricky to post for a variety of reasons
