@@dieselviper7811 Panteo took it down claiming it was due to a ND (which actually was safe because Haley was demonstrating how the old soviet method of finger against the inside of trigger can easily cause a ND) but it was really because Haley said on twitter or somewhere that people shouldn't buy old works (Magpul DVDs etc) since the training is outdated. The owner of Panteo got triggered and cut Haley out of the circle. Haley also got trash talked by other rival instructors due to the whole "you should be teaching fundamentals and fundamentals don't change" (also they took advantage to kick him while he was down for their own business benefit), but I understand where Haley was coming from. Still, Haley should have known better to at least make his point without bringing in shade about past works. I mean, he was the CEO of Magpul, I would think he would know the PR aspect of a message. I don't think Haley will come out with a book (maybe a DVD) about tactics (although he might make one about mindset), because right now the training industry is over-saturated with trainers. There is a very small population of people who actually take classes and it has become almost a kinda clique community, as you start to see the same people show up to classes. Lets be real, most people can barely afford the money/time to train, let alone pay the price to travel and take a class. Naturally, everyone may say it differently, but everyone is basically teaching the same stuff, and to differentiate themselves from each other, you get a lot of "niche" lessons, for example Haley ties in biomechanics and sports into his instruction. If you write a book, you kinda give away the goods permanently, and of course there are people who copy and post it on youtube or on a PDF for others to download. So it isn't good business sense. Books made sense decades ago when the internet couldn't share files as easily, and there were only like a handful of well known instructors and training sites/companies. Haley is super popular due to Magpul (specifically the DVDs), but also because his products have gained attention not just by professionals, but recreational shooters and even airsofters. He really doesn't need the advertisement, a book would just encourage people to not take his classes thinking they "got the gist". This isn't to say I don't want a book by him, I just doubt it will happen, and I doubt it would be on tactics.
Reminds me of something my high school football coach told the day every single day. You play like you practice. Practice hard, practice pure, it will be natural during the game. Perfect Practice makes Perfect.
I've watched nearly all of Haley's vids on pistol shooting, and he's got to be the most knowledgeable guy, overall, I've seen on UA-cam. He breaks things down to a level I just haven't seen from anyone else. His mechanics are flawless. I've gotten more good info on shooting a pistol from his vids than from all the other vids out there combined.
Travis, I’ve been subscribed with notifications for over a year but I feel like You Tube has been throttling your feed lately. Keep up the great content!
Excellent block of instruction. can't wait until this whole COVID-19 thing passes and I can filter back up to Scottsdale for some training at your place (Haley Strategic).
Some of the best (if not the best) free advice to how to become better and build good habits with a handgun. Travis' 100 shot video is also worth checking out for anyone interested. I hope to take a class with y'all one day Travis.
I was just thinking of how best can I use 100-200rds at the range to conserve my ammo, and then you guys come out with this video! Thanks so much, really appreciate it
This was an amazing warm up drill while taking his class. During the 3-day class we did this warm up each morning before jumping into the daily drills and teachings. I still use this when shooting on my own. Thanks Travis for the knowledge.
Really appreciate you puting out videos like this. Ranges in my area are open now in limited capaciry, so I have a good opportunity to get some training like this in.
Thank you for this very comprehensive video. I WILL DEFINITELY be practicing everything that you have brought to light. Kudos and God Bless. 💯💯💯🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂
Thanks for the training tips and your time. Getting advice from a true pioneer of the 2A community is great. Especially considering its free. Stay safe out there guys!
@@clamum Its not a contest. Its a class. Everyone's there to learn. I took a D3 class with him and the skill of the shooters ran the whole spectrum. Don't let being a novice intimidate you.
I love this! It works all of the fundamentals in one box of ammo. Combine this with 5 minutes of dry practice twice a week and anyone can improve GREATLY!!!
I do quite the oppsite. Take the opportunity for at least the 1st 2 or 3 live draws to go as hard and fast as possible on a 5 meter 3 inch target. 3-5 string short group. This isnt really a warm up but to test your ability as best as possible to go 0-100 as in a real gunfight. I will try Travis' technique after this initial blast.
Depending on your shooting experience, you can go either way. For a long time I had a really big problem with shot anticipation and jerking my shots down. Those first couple of drills really help your body get used to the recoil of the gun by distracting your mind with other information it has to process. I found within 2 weeks of practice, by starting off with these warm ups, my shot anticipation has almost completely disappeared. I have a lot more confidence in my sight picture to shot placement. I know a lot of guys like to do their combat or under stress draw first at the range while their cold to see how they can perform. Its still a good practice. But also good to mix it up a bit.
I agree. There are no warm-ups on the street. I too like to go hard with a realistic scenario first thing when at the range (cold start). Then incorporate these types of drills Haley speaks of.
because the knowledge came from Ron Avery...Ron Avery trained Travis years ago...It was Ron Avery introducing Travis the Science of reactive Shooting and mechanics of back tension...it was deleted on you tube...
I paid $800 to learn this in person over 3 days. D5 pistol. Worth every penny. Was looking forward to D3 vehicle darkness, but a little thing called covid 19 happened.
Travis, your first video on cadence several years ago was an eye opener for me. Once you understand that, shooting quickly becomes much easier. It reminded me of the time I finally learned how to let go of the clutch on first gear in a car. Combine this with letting the gun recoil especially on that first shot when you have that tendecy to want to dip...it's like this static discharge. Weird.
Can you do a video breaking down your decisions on trigger finger mechanics more? The AMU recommended a natural finger placement on the trigger which I used to agree with. A musician would tell you locking your joints on your fingers (not curving them to deliver the force through your muscles) increases effort vs force applied. It seems like a possible solution would be to use the tip of your finger to point backwards and pull the trigger like pressing a button, but that would slip off most conventional triggers. As always I think the most info to make your own decisions is best. Please keep making these, it's been too long without your guys' well thought out ideas!
@@HaleyStrategicPartners Vertical stringing in regards to stance, stance being the mid stride of a walk (think a snapshot of shooting on the move): As a person shoots, if their stance is not correct in the sense that they are getting pushed back with each shot bc of how their body is unbalanced, they will subconsciously push forward or move the gun to counter at each shot. This creates oscillation of the gun and body. The result will be the up and down stringing ie "tall groups". If the grip is not correct ie their are gaps between the hands, not enough hand pressure, dominant thumb is pressing the support hand away, not enough side to side and push pull pressure then you will see stringing in the groups that match the direction of the weak part of the grip. The goal is not to let the gun move under recoil. If it's like your hands are a vice with 100% grip in each hand and the hand placement is correct, the gun will not be influenced by trigger manipulation ie "trigger jerk, slap, finger placement, etc". The "index" which refers to how the gun is in line with your arm. This is also correlated to the fitment of the gun. If the gun is indexed to the left in your hand, you groups will be left of center, index to the right in the hand, groups will be right of center. Lastly is genetic parallax. This is the relationship of the sights to the eyes. If you are not lined up to the sights you will shoot high or low. To fix this you have to roll the shoulders forward and push the head forwards like to want to touch the nose to the back of the gun. This isn't going to work with the bent elbow shooting, because of the angles created. Thank you for asking sir.
Travis shoots better with his eyes closed than half of UA-cam operators with their eyes open.
Truth
Yeah he does! Travis Haley has definitely set a standard! Id love to take one of his classes.
😂😂
Imagine breaking into the wrong house to hear "pins... friction... leverage..." coming from a shadow.

Stopping bullets? Good!
I have a master's degree in exercise science and have great respect for how he teaches motor skills
Thank you sir, that means more than you know.
I mean when you talk about training and guns you have to talk about Travis Haley this guy is a beast it’s amazing the amount of knowledge that he has
You guys ever gonna write a book?
I love how you mix science and defensive shooting.
I'd buy it in a heart beat.
Good call,just seems these days it's all audio book or PDF books etc.. crazy...

That was an awesome video, highlighting some very important fundamentals we often forget about! Great way to break down each skill! Thank you!

Very helpful! Thank you.
Amazing
I really like how he doesn't move slow and then accelerate to light speed at the end when presenting the handgun, like certain other guntubers.
Wow this is good stuff. A lot like the Reactive Shooting Cycle Ron Avery taught with TPC...almost identical.
MBC Pro2A I am pretty sure they work together, at least use to.
