Video Mentoring

[VMI-MO]

The purpose of this thread is for shooters to be able to post videos of themselves shooting drills so that other members can critique and offer advice about anything in regards to how they ran the drill. This should help those out that are just getting into shooting, and those who do not always have a shooting buddy to call commonly seen mistakes.

Any and everyone can post and is encouraged to post videos of them shooting drills

For this thread, simply link the video, give a brief description of the drill and let other members critique your performance.

I will open this up with the following.

Video 1: AIWB El Pres. This is a video of me running the El Pres from concealed. Disregard goofy camera man.

Video 2: AIWB El Pres second run

Video 3: 18 hole sprint This drill is the VTAC 9hole drill, run between two barricades.

Advice would be things like:
Pull the muzzle in closer for reloads
Watch resting the barrel on the baricade

etc....

Buy a tripod and leave the camera on it would help with being better able for others to see what your doing. You could also set it up in front of you safely. Having the guy with the timer film and time and call your shots isn't really a good idea for several reasons.

question... why would you bring the gun in... immediately after your last shot?

I asses scan decock... whatever... at full extension, only come in to put the gun away.

FYI if you're not doing the 180 turn then it's called the Vice Pres.

Not the OP, but I do the same thing. By bringing the gun close in during your search and assess, if you have another threat that's off center or to the side, you just twist your torso and punch the gun out again, vs swinging it at full extension or seeing threat and then bringing gun in.

I had no idea about that. I learn something new everyday.

I have been fighting the habit to disengage from the target to quickly. So I do need to slow down how fast I pull the weapon in.

I do search and assess with weapon pulled in because I am faster to to put rounds on other possible threat when I pull it in vice lowering it. Also it allows for you to view more of your environment.

If you don't have targets separated by more than say... 120 degrees... you're not going to bring the gun in during a target transition anyway right?

I shoot assess scan (move gun a little... move head full 180) decock, then bring gun in and holser. My training logic is if I see a target past 120 degrees... I bring indeed bring the gun in anyway... why get the sights off target area unnecessarily?

If multiple targets present themselves at the same time, I will stay at extension when engaging between the targets.

I will pull the weapon in if I have engaged said targets, no other targets are present, but I have a feeling more bad guys are coming or I am just searching my general environment.

Does that make sense or muddy water?

Yes I agree, when transitioning between targets during an active course of fire and the target is not angled too far off, I see no need to bring the gun in. My opinion is that once you have dealt with the known threats/targets, bringing the gun in close during your S&A in case another threat/target appears is a good habit, since you do not know where it will appear. Lets get back to video mentoring
