Firearms Training 101:

One of Rob Pincus’ missions is to show how easily and quickly people with no experience can get started with the fundamental skills of defensive shooting. In under ten minutes, Rob teaches a new shooter basic firearms training using some simple commands: “Extend the gun – touch the trigger – slowly and smoothly press the trigger.” Soon the student is getting high-center-chest hits. The acquisition of simple defensive shooting skills should be just that – simple – and then followed by training in more advanced concepts.

    What a relief! lol I just bought my first handgun and have not yet been out to practice with it yet. I watch the videos here and think it will take me forever to gain the skills I need but this video shows otherwise. Great video thanks!

    Why are all the videos I am watching cutting out the sound halfway during the video?
