Hi I'm retired Navy SEAL Chris Sajnog the author of Navy SEALs shooting and
one of the top 20 most frequently asked questions I get is how can I practice if
I don't have a shooting range nearby well start your timer and I'll share
five ways you can practice in today's five and under five FAQ
alright so there's a lot of people out there that want to learn how to shoot
they want to practice they want to get better but getting to a firearms range
where they can do live fire is not so easy sometimes some people in certain
countries don't have any range they can shoot out some people maybe it's a two
three-hour drive to get anywhere they can shoot a gun and some of you of
course are lucky enough to have a shooting range in your backyard the
concepts that I'm going to tell you and hear the ideas for practicing are still
going to apply to you to get better whether you have a range or not
alright so lesson number one here is realize that learning to shoot involves
much more than just making the gun go bang so what do I mean by that well I
mean that you can practice literally anything with a firearm that doesn't
involve the gun going bang ie pulling the trigger with a live round in the
chamber needing to be at a range and you can get better what are examples of that
well reloading your magazine loading your magazine unloading your magazine
any type of dry weapons training whether it's mounting your firearm drawing your
pistol you have more training opportunities at home than you do going
to a live-fire range so just realize that realize there's a much more to work
on than just making the gun go bang alright so point number two is actually
working on those things that I talked about so practicing your mounts your
manipulations and your malfunctions anything you can do manipulating and
moving that gun around or the magazines around working with your gear getting
into different positions actually practicing those things is going to make
you a better shooter and you can do all of that at home alright so number three
is to work on other things that don't directly involve shooting a firearm but
they're going to help you shoot better so improving your vision or improving
your grip strength are great ways that you can train without a live-fire
shooting range if you improve your vision that's gonna help you focus
better if you improve your grip strength that's going to help you hold the
firearm better and you're going to be able to shoot better and you don't need
to go to a live-fire range to do that so get yourself a front sight
focused ring and start practicing your grip strength and all of these things
are gonna make you a better shooter and you can do it all at home alright number
four and this is one of my favorite assist things to do and that is
practicing visualization when it comes to doing visualization these are just
mental repetitions that we all do whether you know it or not you visualize
before you do anything so if I was gonna give you a baseball bat and told you to
go hit a ball inside your mind you would have to picture yourself swinging that
bat before you're able to do it and we do it with everything whether we know we
do it or not so this isn't a new concept for you this is something you just need
to work on thinking about doing so when it comes to firearms training you can
visualize everything you can do and the great part about visualization is you
can practice perfectly every single time say you want to improve your draw so
you're drawing your pistol picking up that front sight well just close your
eyes and imagine yourself do it picture yourself doing it visualize everything
you want to do and you will get better at it alright so number five is to
download my free seal training app to track your training you can get this on
iOS or Android it's absolutely free and it's going to give you the ability every
time you train to track your training and that is crucial that is going to
help make you a better shooter and again you do not need to go to the range to do
this in to track your training all right that is it for today's FAQ remember to
use these five ways that you can practice without going to arrange and
