We're back again today at the range we're looking at the fundamentals of
good shooting and today we're looking at one of the most important fundamentals
of good shooting. The stance. We've got Sang Lee out again from RMSI.
He is going to show us because he is super skilled the pistol what a good stance looks like.
We're also gonna look at what a bad stance looks like. The reason
we're going to do that is because I have people tell us, Sang hears this, other instructors
hear this constantly... ah it's not comfortable the stand how you're
telling me that I feel better like this and that might work perfect if you're
trying to make one or two well-placed shots on a target and are a bull's-eye
style shooting but remember that's not what we're teaching you.
carry a gun for self-defense so you probably are going to have to fire that
can rapidly in succession you want those bullets to hit where you intend not to
go up over target so saying is going to show us what that stands looks like
we're going to start out just real quick with with what the stance looks like I'm
gonna break it down and then we're going to get into shooting saying go ahead
shows include shooting stance because you're going on loaded and we're gonna
just press out and show our viewers what that looks like. Now you notice Sang's
body is oriented towards a target you guys see our downrange scenario here.
Sang's got his body in a forward canted position. He's strong. He's not limp.
He's not loose. He's forward on his toes a little bit you'll hear instructors
saying Nose-over-Toes. It's an old adage and make sense if you start to feel your
nose going back over the center line your body what happens is the round
right up over the target see to be cognizant of coming up on the balls of
your feet that this section here and literally leaning out forward.
I'm also gonna point out just because this is a fundamental stuff. Every time you see Sang
handle the gun is the same methodical movements. Were not training to be a robot.
We are training our subconscious brain to replicate what we needed to do under
duress. We don't become super human when we get the adrenaline rushes. Shit goes down.
So we program ourselves every time around the range every time we are
handling a firearm to do the same repetitive motions the way we need them
to happen
in the real world. So we're gonna show you what we see a lot of students do.
Use an incorrect stance. They do it for various reasons.
It looks cool. It feels comfortable they just don't know but you're gonna see
here why we're doing this. Bad stance... let's get five or six rounds
See his body is angling back...
Physics ladies and gentlemen. The gun is forcing him backwards instead of him forcing the gun forward.
Simple simple physics. we're gonna switch over to the right target
Sangs gonna lock into his good stance and you're gonna see him drive have a
magazine or so into that target you going to notice the group tighten up.
The other thing I want you to notice here, Sang likes to do a little bit of a
bladed stance some guys like to be forward on one foot depending on their
their their hand dominance that's comfortable for Sang. Play with it.
The main point here is we want to be strong we wanna be square the target and we
want to be aggressively into the target. Sang when your ready.
Now speed it up and do it again. One more time... Need a Mag?
You guys gotta remember everything about shooting is systems. You are not... You could have
the best grip in the world. You could have the best trigger press in the world.
You could have the best sight alignment in the world. But if you can't stand and hold the gun
none of it matters. You'll get one shot off and that's it, because now your
bodies moving. All of these things need to be joined together and that's what we
really want you to start thinking about it putting all of these these elements
together this is the base this is the foundation is where your your meat meets the earth
So if you're not thinking about this every time you pick a pistol
up your short-changing yourself. I want you guys, next time your dry firing, not
just willy-nilly point at something at the wall... get up off your ass... and get in
your good stance. it actually is not extremely comfortable you're up on the
balls of your feet. It's work. You're not training yourself for play. This isn't
paintball time. This isn't
video games. This is gunplay in life-and-death scenarios. That what we're
training for. So train like you mean it. Put yourself in a solid stance. Break a sweat
and learn something. If you guys like these videos and your learning stuff. Let us know.
If there is something you want to see that we're not doing, or you'd like us to do different,
give us a call.
We'll think about it. We'll see if we can put something together for you. Carry trainer
