Not making fun or trying to be rude btw. Also it's better when shooting supine (back) to stay down and just move your head slightly. Your a smaller target and it's less tiring if you are down there for long times. Lastly try to keep your feet flat so they don't get shot.
I saw some really insufficient grips there. I saw one guy with his reaction hand thumb around the back of the gun! Another with his index finger hanging down. 1. High grip with your weapon hand 2. Reaction hand at a 45 degree angle with your thumb inline and down the slide/frame. Your reaction hand fingers will rest in your weapon hands grooves between your fingers. Thats a huge contact portion that needs to be filled.
Remind them to not mash the trigger, and for safety stay on the same line of fire when shooting and moving. Good to have a spotter for each shooter if possible
i was reading an article on why a "gangster" as some may call it tilt their guns sideways when they shoot, it originated in drivebys so that the spent shells would fall back into the car and not onto the street or into the soon to be crime scene
@TeoDucky I heard the "gangster" sideways hold started because that is how you take a new pistol out of the box it comes in. But that may be wrong...... :)

Scootch00, I tried your advice in this video today. I just picked up a new gun and took it to the range and I was shooting like crap with two hands. So, I decided to mess around and go 1 handed. I turned the pistol sideways and I put all my rounds in the center in a very tight group! I was surprised. Great advice!
The fella @3:13 needs to watch his thumb placement or he may need stitches, just a heads up. Working at a shooting range for as long as I did Ive seen many new shooters need stitches or band aids.
Don't understand why so many people get all fired up when someone says clip when it's a mag. Chill out people. Great vid Sootch. Always look forward to seeing you in my subscription updates.
Great job as always. Please explain the training techniques shown in the vid of moving forward while shooting at the target.Where you trying to practice the exchange to a fresh magazine after empty or simply focusing on the target while in motion?
I've never seen someone tilt at a slight angle when firing one handed but that does make sense! I may try that on my next range trip just to see if it effects my recoil.
great vid sootch. I was wondering what were the pistols everybody used? what were the problems you all experienced with them? is that a taurus millenium that guy is shooting?
Hey sootch! I saw a comment or two about this...maybe you prefer the way you were doing the one-handed drills, but I was trained to take the hand that's not holding the weapon and push it against your upper chest. It keeps your arm and hand out of the way and helps to create a little isometric tension even though you're only using the one hand. Works good for me. Just another idea! Cool vid and good job teaching a new shooter!
Thumbs point at target. Support hand makes as much contact with the frame of the firearm as possible. I prefer isosceles or modified weaver, but you can get caught up in a fight at any time and not have exact foot placement. Just avoid having strong side foot forward of support side foot. That helps with grounding your weight.
Nice tips on holding the firearm. Great point on not gripping tight with strong hand. Grip strong with support hand and hold normally with strong side. Even, gradual trigger squeeze, on pad of finger. One note - when advancing or retreating I was taught it's best to go obliquely. This way the bad guy has to constantly recalculate aim. This is especially helpful at night. One poor soul had his support thumb on the wrong side of the firearm. Both thumbs should be parallel on support side.
I must say you said alot of stuff that some of us that have been shooting for years just recently learned. Also, good form when you were shooting one handed. I think for 2012 all of us should 1. join the NRA or like organization and 2. introduce shooting to a new person- and follow SootchOO and how he shows newbies how to shoot!!!!
@glockster68 I learned a lot of this from Tom Givens at Target Master, a incredible firearms instructor out of Memphis Tenn. It changed a lot of things I was doing. Take care~
@glockster68 I quit the NRA because I got sick and tired of the constant junk mail and demands for donations, all worded in that "the UN helicopters are on their way now to take your guns if you don't send us a check IMMEDIATELY" hysterical tone. I understand that maintaining a political war chest takes funds, but I prefer to give what I can when I can without being constantly harassed for money.
the reason people get shot in the hand is because people focus on the threat. hands hold gun, knives, etc. many times the hands get shot because that is where the shooter's attention is drawn in a gunfight due to physiological responses to a confrontation.
Great exercises from different shooting positions. I am a firm believer in shooting with the weakest hand. If you get shot in your good hand what is the choices. Great video and advise. Take care.
@sootch00 its ok he said that ....also when he was holding his wrist and shooting I feel is bad form but it is alot easier to watch than actually shooting.
@Dumpsterdivers, imo better to learn to shoot well and safely,than to spend range time learning correct English usage. Also one of the reasons I put in a range on my property was so I wouldn't have to tolerate range prima donnas such as your self.
So I take it a few of you have nothing better to do than to pause the video. Look for every single detail you can find wrong. Then point it out? {•~•} Just sayin bros. You know how you learn not do do somthing? By doing it. Did it hurt? Then you learned not to do it.
3:47 Someone teach that guy how to hold a pistol... I mean if it works for him SURE, but I would imagine he'd improve A LOT if he had better control over the gun... He's holding the guns the same way throughout the video too.
So I guess all those shooters using the isosceles are doing it wrong???? Oh, and at 3:12 why don't you tell the shooter to fix his grip! Good way to loose his support hand thumb!
@Steve5404 This is from Tom Givens at Target Master. Awesome firearms instructor. I was pointing out the strengths. You can hold your pistol however you want.
Good video. The bit about the hand angle was interesting, I hadn't ever really thought about the hand's natural stance when shooting. Unfortunately for me, regarding the in-line with the bone thing, I am left eye dominant and right handed, so I kind of hold the pistol across my body when I shoot--I'm working on getting my head positioned different to compensate.
Don't call them clips magazines, or magzines clips.... people get all sensitive about it. lol It's English people nothing makes sense about it. even more so when your drunk... People parking in drive ways, driveing on parkways.... Rear ends and axles are two different things... Ya'll just gotta try to understand what people are talking about..... PEACE! Great vid.
Sootch, I for one appreciate your willingness to take your knowledge & experience to others so they might benefit from it. Remember, being a leader means you're going to be taking more hits than the stragglers. Just watch the Republican Primaries for a few hours. Well done, my friend. Blessings on you.
You have no bones or muscles taking up recoil when shooting "gangster style" it is very innacurate for the reasons Sootch00 mentioned...and the brass hits you in the face.
@ sootch, you are very cutting edge to recognize tilting your hand like gang bangers do. It is actually very useful when shooting from behind a shield, or from behind cover, and yes in a gun fight most good guys and bad guys get hit in the hands. That is why you must train to transition to your opposite hand and practive clearing a double feed with your "weak" hand, etc. Well Done Don.
@neptuneblueZ and @NC77583, who really cares if you call it a clip, or a magazine. I spent 8 years as an infantry grunt, and have been a range instructor as a police officer for 21 years, and yes I call it a magazine, but never really cared if people call it a clip. I don't understand why certain people get their dander up by calling it a clip.
As an instructor you need to teach your students the correct terminology.I suppose you let your students get away calling a pistol a revolver, and a revolver a pistol.
@NeptuneBlueZ and that same guy needs to watch out where he places his support hand thumb. putting it behind the slide is a sure way to lose the top of it or get it broken!!!!!
@NeptuneBlueZ The "Clip" change comment is from my brother n law who has just started taking an interest in shooting. Relax dude. It's not a safety violation.
I would love to come out and experience this sort of day. I've heard about the ergos regarding how and were to hold in order to direct the kinetic energy, but reading something like that and actually having someone decent to help show it in person are two different things.
@sootch00 Sootch, I'm a BIG fan of your, I'm even your subscriber. But I'm sorry to say that's not a simple mistake. It has to be corrected ASAP! I'm not saying you messed up by not teaching him the correct way to say it the first time you heard him say it wrong, I'm saying he messed up by calling a magazine, a clip. And sorry for the profanity, I didn't know it bothered you that much. Sorry. But after some time, this really gets on my nerves.
@NC77583 This is a small segment of what we talked about. The guy with the camera grabbed it after we had been talking for a few minutes. Obviously, I need to revisit our discussion in more detail on an upcoming video. The Clip comment was from my Brother N Law and he's a novice shooter. I started thinking about the one handed drill and wasn't listneing unfortunately. Sorry to get everyone all distressed.
@thenephilin1 blame the broken political situation in africa, not the guns. you are misled. ill informed. besides shooting someone to live maybe something u have to do one day. if u dont, they will rape and kill your family. so watch out, bubba lurks.
@thenephilin1 After a completely and utterly retarded comment like that I think you should offer your services to the child warriors of Africa as a human shield.
No offense but I feel like there's got to be a way you can render out videos without all the extra black bars. The bars on top and bottom are due to rendering/exporting the video out a certain size and dimension that is different then the original. The bars on the sides are YouTube's normal player that can't be helped due to the dimensions of the video uploaded.
Well, I'll have to try the semi-gangster hold. I learned the "traditional" hold as a rookie police officer in 1961 when all shooting was done one-handed. Although I am an old dog, I certainly am not one that can't learn new tricks. The word, however, must not be getting out in that when I have yet to see someone at the range (and I go multiple times a week) using anything but the traditional hold. Having said that, I don't see too many shooting one handed - unfortunately.

Having said that, I don't see too many shooting one handed - something the should be practiced.
From teachin a couple of bew handgun shooters, the three most important things are 1-do not put your thumb behind a semiauto slide/do not put any fingers near the front of a revolver cylinder
2-slowly squeeze trigger straight back while keeping the sights on target
3-do not anticipate when shot will go off, no matter how big the muzzleblast will be
Okay, I'm confused. I infer from what was said that the superior one hand method of shooting is with the hand canted to replicate the way we point. If that's the case, why do I see national class, off-hand target shooters using that technique? As an aside, I qualified as expert holding my hand straight - will I get better if I turn my hand semi gangster style?
@skykink the best method is the one that puts lead on target brother. you could play around with it at the range but if your hitting 35/36 (you shoot 36 for advanced marksmanship right?) with verticle orientation and not canted then seems like it works just fine

@sootch00 Sootch, I'm a BIG fan of your, I'm even your subscriber. But I'm sorry to say that's not a simple mistake. It has to be corrected ASAP! I'm not saying you messed up by not teaching him the correct way to say it the first time you heard him say it wrong, I'm saying he messed up by calling a magazine, a clip. And sorry for the profanity, I didn't know it bothered you that much. Sorry. But after some time, this really gets on my nerves.

@NC77583 This is a small segment of what we talked about. The guy with the camera grabbed it after we had been talking for a few minutes. Obviously, I need to revisit our discussion in more detail on an upcoming video. The Clip comment was from my Brother N Law and he's a novice shooter. I started thinking about the one handed drill and wasn't listneing unfortunately. Sorry to get everyone all distressed.
Thanks for your comment~

No offense but I feel like there's got to be a way you can render out videos without all the extra black bars. The bars on top and bottom are due to rendering/exporting the video out a certain size and dimension that is different then the original. The bars on the sides are YouTube's normal player that can't be helped due to the dimensions of the video uploaded.

Well, I'll have to try the semi-gangster hold. I learned the "traditional" hold as a rookie police officer in 1961 when all shooting was done one-handed. Although I am an old dog, I certainly am not one that can't learn new tricks. The word, however, must not be getting out in that when I have yet to see someone at the range (and I go multiple times a week) using anything but the traditional hold. Having said that, I don't see too many shooting one handed - unfortunately.

@TheCoroncachannel It was from a few years ago when Sootch and Nutn met to shoot.

Good show! Do you find your accuracy is better when you fire your pistol one-handed? I'd think a more natural stance would result in better shots.

From teachin a couple of bew handgun shooters, the three most important things are 1-do not put your thumb behind a semiauto slide/do not put any fingers near the front of a revolver cylinder
2-slowly squeeze trigger straight back while keeping the sights on target
3-do not anticipate when shot will go off, no matter how big the muzzleblast will be

good job sootch I definitively like this one, a little short though. I hope that you are planning longer ones like it.

Okay, I'm confused. I infer from what was said that the superior one hand method of shooting is with the hand canted to replicate the way we point. If that's the case, why do I see national class, off-hand target shooters using that technique? As an aside, I qualified as expert holding my hand straight - will I get better if I turn my hand semi gangster style?
skykink 1 month ago
@skykink the best method is the one that puts lead on target brother. you could play around with it at the range but if your hitting 35/36 (you shoot 36 for advanced marksmanship right?) with verticle orientation and not canted then seems like it works just fine
