Sorry I can't come out tonight, I have to practice walking backwards in my room lol I find when John asks her to run it without the gun I'll also do the same just like it's a class. So many hundreds of dollars worth of valuable content over the years. Thank you all!
What a great student. She always listens carefully and is hard on herself because she wants to get it right. One thing I notice was her looking down for the dot at low-ready because John had mentioned seeing it in the periphery. For a student who can already routinely find their dot on the draw, searching for it in the periphery might be a distraction from the target that's coming with a baseball bat (in this example), if only for a split-second
True, but remember that this is a drill not a scenario. So we're not really worried about getting kilt on da streetz while we're working on learning a skill.
The movement... a good reason to take some boxing classes too. Learn a balanced bladed stance, and how to boxer slide your movements. Keeps the upper body centered and in position, but moves the feet without crossing them.
I think it has some value, but recognize that boxing isn't for the distances that gunfights happen at. It's for much closer in. So the blading and moving aren't the same as gunfighting.
You guys mentioned shooting through some defensive ammo and also sparing some, when Destiny was shooting, if I understood correctly. I’ve been carrying daily for about 3 years or so. Understanding when my carry ammo has been ejected for dry fire purposes too much and needs to be shot out is a topic I’d love to learn about. I do watch the look of the case and the seal of the bullet in the case, and the depth of seat. To make sure all that stays stable. But I also feel like shooting that ejected live round after several unloadings. Gets expensive. Not a topic I’ve seen GunTube cover. Thanks for all you do, John and ASP co!
I also shoot through my carry mag ammo once or twice a year… it helps me confirm my zero with the carry ammo as well as refreshing the ammo with new. That may feel like it’s expensive but replacing that once a year to me is like changing the oil in my car, general maintenance.
My Fed agency (now retired) taught to keep the heel high (to feel for obstacles) at the start of the rearward step, then lower it…..and shorten steps (again to detect obstacles before tripping). If practiced, it doesn’t slow you down. I now teach the same techniques as an instructor.
Destiny is a great student. She listens and tries. Fear doesn't seem to be a problem with her. I'd hate to be on her animal "Mama Bear" instinct bad side!
Why? This isn't an open enrollment class or range. We weren't anywhere near muzzling the camera person. No rules of safe firearms handling were broken or even close to broken.
A lot of times when filming stuff like this, the perspective can seem like you are closer to the line of fire than you really are. Actually, there didn’t seem like there was a huge need for a ton of different shot set ups other than for visual interest, so if anyone felt a little nervous about being down range, this one could probably have been done with a camera on a tripod on remote. 🤷🏻♂️

Looking good John! Slim!

Good job by the both of you, Instructor and student working together as one.
definitely higher level of shooting. I still need to become proficient with the basics before practicing this. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful lesson, thanks!
Hey Ninja Destiny! Good work
Playing multiple sports growing up helps tremendously in moving/shooting & is an advantage. Get in shape and I don't mean round! 😂💯🥃
She looks like a badass 💫❤️

It can get expensive but remember the reason you carry, what’s the price you’ll put on that?
@@ASPextra totally! How many slide-rack ejections do you let a round cycle through before you use it as range training ammo, please?
I pay attention to the round itself. If the bullet begins to set back at all or gets disfigured in any way it gets sent to the range pile.
@@ASPextra thanks that’s good knowledge 🙏

Honestly I think that's more theatrics than actually useful.
@@ASPextra Perhaps. Maybe it’s value is making one conscious of how extremely easy it is to trip moving backwards focused forward.
I've had the chance to do this during the local IDPA meets. It's a challenge, and it actually increases cognitive load more than you'd think.
can you do a video on why its better to go towards them diagonally that seems so counterintuitive
Yeah at some point we can do that. :)
Good shootin Destny👍👍👍👍😎😎

Have to ask, what’s with the cat ears? Thanks for everything you do!

She just needs to practice and remember to yell commands so any witnesses will hear and hear you trying to make him stop 😎😎
Here's a easy fix, learn to walk or jog backwards around the block before attempting this drill 😊
I was constantly worried for the camera person regardless of who was shooting. I know they got the skills to handle it, but my heart doesn't.
Same Just a bit sketchy

Nothing productive is gained from internet range safety officers. Keep your discomfort behind your teeth (fingers in this case.)
The cat ears look ridiculous.

Maybe just me she doesn't seem to excited and seems to have a little stay back lean
