Paper Targets Don’t Prepare You for Real Fights

Real firearms training isn’t measured in paper targets — it’s measured in skills that win real fights. In this video I cut past the “movie montage” nonsense and teach the high-value, repeatable skills that cover the 80% of encounters you’re most likely to face. Learn how to stack micro-skills cleanly, make reps measurable, and stop practicing mistakes that become habits. What you’ll get in this video: • The 80% approach — focus on the drills that matter. • Draw → First Hit baselines (7 yds: baseline → advanced → expert). • Follow-up hits and “calling your shot” to predict impact. • Retention shooting: compressed positions, stepping vs. moving back, push-off progressions. • Decision-making under time pressure — practical buddy drills, shot timer use, and turning-target options. • Pro tip: stop finishing bad reps — reset and train precision. Drills recap: Run these until they feel boring — boring equals reliable.
