If you want to practice at home check out our Rogers Range dry fire video. Throw it up on your flatscreen just make sure the gun isn’t loaded.

-Accuracy is Most Important
-Speed is important, but not at the expense of Accuracy
-Slow is smooth, and smooth is Fast
– Until you get good… then Slow is Slow, and Fast is Fast
-You can’t Miss fast enough to Win
-Most important shot in a gun fight is often the FIRST shot
These are all pearls of wisdom that instructors throw out there to make you shoot better and/or faster. However, what really makes you faster is PROPER TECHNIQUE and lots and lots of practice. You are doing the practice, either dry firing or with live ammo; you just need to tune up your technique. Like a “Golf Pro” fixing your swing, I can’t fix your draw without watching you draw. So, getting out there and having an instructor watch you will always be the best way to find improvement in your game. However, if you can’t make it to one of our classes, I hope you can get a little bit of improvement out of this video.
Master your Draw. It must be fast, but more importantly it must be Accurate.
Strength & Honor, TR.

Your description of competition shooting is really strange. Considering USPSA is all moving and shooting from a million different positions with no shoots, limited exposure, hard angles etc etc etc it’s almost like you’re intentionally trying to be misleading.
Every single position you demonstrated is done in competitive shooting. Even more “dynamic” and weird positions. I like different opinions and would be glad to debate it but competition and combat shooting is the same thing.
Yes sir
Thanks for sharing, I will pass this on.
Very informative, very helpful. Thank you!
Awesome video that’s easy to follow and really breaks it down to get it done smooth!
He said "susan im not throwing you under the bus " that shit just had me laughing and also one question what if your holster is concealed ??
That's one helluva good explanation of the mechanics of it all. Excellent!
Awesome pointers and thanks for sharing!
And as far as dry firing and managing recoil , you can now by either the Mantis sytem for your fire arm or the cool dry fire sytem . Where you swap out the barrel to your fire arm, insert the other barrel and its co2 powered but no projectiles are ever released . Its simply just to dry fire your weapon but with the recoil simmulation so u can practice reciol management anywhere , anythime.
I suggest marking your belt on both sides of the holster, after you've established the correct refference point on your duty belt, pistol bet , or tactical range belt .then you will always know where the holster needs to be and if in fact it has moved. It's very important that your gear and belt stay in place & just naturally your holster, belt and equiptment will move and shift a little bit.
Man I hate that chamber inspection…lol…well,my boss/teacher reemed a team members rear end out for doing it…does it slow down your possible multiple threat acquisition and engagement…or its before you're clear of threats or after?..and no sul?..why the muzzle pointed straight while you scan?
Your my hero!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Speed Rock ? Point Shooting ? IDF empty chamber ?
Excellent piece. Thank you.
you can see the bullet at 11:03
Very good stuff. Thank you for your service.
Any suggestions on a good holster for a fn5.7 with a light? Couldnt tell what you were shooting
good video 👍
Why do u look at your back, left and right after shooting ???
Cool.
Excellent instruction Karl. Real world. No b.s. get you back to Ft. Living Room in one piece advice. Your videos save lives!
sooo extra cringe to look to the sides
80% on the trigger………people better know their reset on the trigger and spend hours practicing to find that spot.
Excellent breakdown of each "piece" of the procedure. I watch a LOT of videos on the different aspects of process and this video by far hit all the marks.
I also scroll through the comments and questions and replies.
There's an "art" to shooting no doubt about it.
But there's also an "art" to instructing. You my friend have mastered them both.
Great video and thanks for sharing.
Good stuff! The retract and scan head only or should the entire torso move keeping the gun in line of sight? I have seen where instructor will crank their necks and shoulders 180 degrees each side but keep the gun pointed at 0. This doesn't make sense to me.
What gun is he using?G34?
Marion cobretii approved…
Karl, applauding and standing assume teaching. I taught rifle and shotgun merit badges to many young scouts and they educated me on how to be a better trainer. You knocked it out of the park especially defining the difference between competition shooting and tactical shooting. Would you do a video on the differences of tactical vs defensive civilian shooting. The gear is setup differently than tactical. One may need to be under cover as a civilian sometimes. Thanks for your service.
Excellent! A real lecture!!
Thank you. Sending this video to my son.
Good stuff
Sure sounds a lot like Combat Pistol 101! It works and is all true. Thanks Karl!
Trying to be clint eastwood is the biggest issue, anyone can draw fast, but if its a hot weapon, shoot yourself, like you say shoot over them with the momentum, and potentially miss, all dependant on distance, and other factors, if theyre close, i would shoot from the hip whilst making distance and using one hand as a blocker, if theyre say 5 yards aiming time is less, but do it right, draw, aim fire, again rush it and you could miss, or be too slow, further away, draw, aim longer, fire, is what it is, repetition, i always say its not about just speed, you need to take in to account, civilians near them, which will slow the process down, always try and make distance, make angles, crouch, firing from your back is useful, but not often things go to plan, but repetition the right way, methodical repetition. Good video by the way.
Really helpful video. Thank you for putting it out there!!!
"Susan, I'm not here to throw you under the bus" 💀💀💀😂😂😂
Poor Susan 😀 It happens LOL
Why are you turning your gun on it's side after you fire one shot and start back to your hoster? That looks like something that they do on TV.
Thx for the great pointers.
Former Vet, WPS, BFFOC, DDM Cert (TC, Academi, Constellis Grp) I found your interview on Combat Story w/ Ryan. Wanted to check out your company and team. Great handgun draw instruction! I appreciate the basic breakdown and verbiage. I myself have had trouble communicating the basic draw to civilians. Problem solved after watching your video! Thank you!
This is exactly the way I was taught at the police academy in 2004 and continue to draw this way today. Great way of teaching. Love the content.
Good teaching Karl ! Learning alot ! I’ll take my brother to the range and replicate your advice. Many thanks, God Bless. South African Farmer
Yes, slow can be smooth, and smooth can be fast. However, slow can never be fast. Slow is just slow even when it's smooth.
Thank you for this excellent video. I must practice this way, it makes sense. Again, thanks!
I tend to squeeze my off hand a bit to hard and when I drive the weapon I tend to be stiff as a dead guy. I burned through alot of ammo when I learned slow is smoothe smoothe is fast. This video oughta make me a bit faster with this drill
What a great video, thank you. That was like a free class that I didn't have to travel and rent a hotel room for.
There is one thing that I was hoping that you might expound upon. It is my understanding that in the stress of combat, when adrenaline comes into play, that trigger pulls feel a lot lighter and tend to get squeezed down with more force (generally speaking) than no. I completely understand the concept of starting to take the slack out of the trigger during the the draw, but my concern is that in the event of drawing in a defensive situation that one might accidentally apply too much force to the trigger when adrenaline takes over. I would suspect that this would likely be even more true for those who are not experienced in combat. Could you share your thoughts on that?
