Phase 5 Drill: Push Your Limits Without Wasting Ammo
In this video, I break down why competition shooting is one of the best ways to sharpen your defensive shooting skills. Using two matches from earlier this year, I highlight areas where I struggled, areas I improved, and how competition pushes you to perform under pressure. Competition isn’t just about speed - it’s about accuracy, consistency, and managing adrenaline, all of which translate directly to real-world defensive skills. $20 Pistol Drill - https://youtu.be/z7973RmJe_o?si=7TYrUQ9BOAc5dbQh
Why You Should Join a Competitive Shooting League
All you need is one target, one box of 9mm, your gun, and about 15 minutes. In this video, I break down what I think is the most effective pistol training drill out there — the Dot Torture Drill. It looks simple, but don’t be fooled. This drill will push your accuracy, consistency, and trigger control to the limit. I’ll walk you through the drill step by step so you can take it to the range and run it yourself. Once you can shoot it clean, you can scale it up by adding distance or time to make it even more challenging. If you want to get better with your pistol without burning through a ton of ammo, this is the drill to run.

One Box of Ammo = The Ultimate Pistol Drill
I’ve noticed a consistent problem in my shooting — my rounds are landing low and left. It’s frustrating, but I know it’s a common issue, especially for right-handed shooters like me. In this video, I walk through what I think is causing it in my case — likely a mix of trigger control and grip tension. I’m not just guessing though. I’m breaking it down, testing things out, and starting to drill the fundamentals to get it right. This isn’t about pretending to be perfect. It’s about showing the process — the diagnosing, the training, and the improvement. If you’ve dealt with low-left shots, I’d love to hear what helped you fix it.
Shooting Low Left: Why It Happens & How To Fix It
This is a simple 60-round pistol drill using one USPSA target. Nothing fancy, just focused practice. The goal here isn’t speed, it’s accuracy, control, and consistency. Every round is a chance to refine your grip, sight alignment, and trigger press. You’ll use just a little more than one box of ammo (60 rounds), one USPSA target, and about 15–20 minutes. Train with purpose. Shoot with precision. Live with freedom.
