No a virus caused the disease. China's suppression of information, inaction when they knew what it was, and silencing of whistleblowers caused the pandemic.

Say what you will about Yeager, but he said this perfectly years ago.
There's a difference between being "allowed" and being "able".
There's a LOT of places you aren't "allowed" to carry. There are very FEW places you aren't "able" to carry.
I conduct myself accordingly.

I'm not sure what instructor school is teaching this, but it's totally counter productive to learning. I'm not here to name names but if your post just to tell people that they're doing something wrong or that they suck but not WHY, you are not a teacher, you're an a-hole.

Been trying to figure out how to articulate this, but something I've noticed recently is the confrontational and dismissive attitude of some instructors on IG. I don't know if this is to draw some attention or if that's how they really are. Being contrarian isn't a personality.

An instructor is first and foremost a teacher. Your job is to lead people on the path to knowledge, not to show IG how cool you are. If you think you have it all figured out, and everyone else just needs to get on your level, hang it up. You're going to get someone killed.

If you do it to get people to sign up for your class and learn how they can do it better, you aren't a teacher, you're click bait. My primary guess though, is that some actually don't know the why. They are just regurgitating what they learned.

What most bothers me about this trend is that this dismissive attitude tells everyone that you have it all figured out. Unfortunately no one is born with all the information, and everyone is on a different stage of the journey. BUT, we are all on the journey.

He shoots 6 rounds out of his lever action, then smokes a cig. I have watched this cycle repeat at least 7 times. He has not once gone down to look at his target. Im not sure there IS a target. I don't know if I hate this man or admire him.

4) I don't own anything PSA because I know what my rifles need to do for me, but I don't hesitate recommending them, especially to novices. Instead of arguing on the internet or watching guntubers, go shoot your guns, dry fire, get good, and form your own opinions from experience

Stop making dry fire harder than it needs to be. It’s free, stop trying to pay for it. It doesn’t have to take an hour. You don’t need full kit. You don’t need lasers or apps. All you need is your gun, an aiming reference, and to PAY ATTENTION.

1) Most people haven't really tested their rifles to the edge of their capability. Do you even know what you really NEED? A good way to find out is start with an inexpensive rifle, then replace parts as need or budget allow when something breaks or doesn't do what you need it to

3) This is what's great about PSA and about the AR generally. You can get a serviceable rifle (or 2) inexpensively and invest your budget in ammo, training, and dry fire. Don't let people tell you what you should have. Shoot the piss out of your guns and find out for yourself.

Owning expensive guns and optics does not validate your opinion.
The best equipment let's you employ your full capability, but you have to own the skills first.
Having a 5-figure set up can't shoot for you, so stop making it your personality.

@Lead_Flinger
If I can add in on this?
When you're beginning it's common to try to do too much in a session. Keep your dry fire simple. Pick one thing and focus all of your awareness there for 5-10 minutes. Consistency is much more important than duration

2) Something I don't see many people talking about... If you're really training hard with a carbine, you need 2. Carbines, shot aggressively, get very hot quickly. A 2nd rifle set up similarly allows you to keep training aggressively while protecting either rifle from overheating

Better believe I'm getting my reps in right along with you guys.
It's very easy for tension to creep in on a drill like this, and to lose visual focus. Stay relaxed and let your eyes lead.
We’re gonna start something new around here to get you all to the range with some purpose.
Every couple of weeks or so, we’re gonna post a drill and a hit factor. We want you to beat us. Best HF gets an OTG hat fo free.
So get out there and train. Procedure in first comment.

Shot about 1000 rds the last two days and I'm using the patterns I noticed to inform the rest of the weeks dry fire.
Today's dry fire:
Draws to a paster (no trigger press)
Par 0.80
Focusing on dot stopping precisely and really cranking down on the support hand.

In the early 80s Dennis Tueller (whom I've personally talked to about this, so I do have some first hand background) wrote an article for SWAT magazine title "How Close Is Too Close?" The basic premise is that an assailant armed with an edged weapon can cover 7yds in about 1.5s

Guys, I love you all, but please stop trying to spend your way into good shooting. The more complicated you make it the less you get out of it and the less likely you are to do it. Do the work. 5-10 minutes a day with complete focus. It’s free, it’s simple, no more excuses.
