Since I can't add subtitles, maybe that will help: 1:26 - 1:34 Let me tell you something: This is one of the best drills to catch yourself flinching and learn how to hold still. 1:53 - 2:58 We're learning to hold ourselves still while we know there is a live round in the gun. You can dry fire the rest of your life and not get any better at holding still. Or you train doing this exercise and learn how to hold still. This is the prerequisite, the gateway for anything that you do that involves speed shooting. The reason is this: Your ability to hold still will become impaired the faster you keep on shooting faster. If you're not fundamentally come back holding still and doing these kind of drills, your ability to shoot precise will go down the toilet. ...Accuracy at speed is the first hostage that gets killed under pressure. Your ability to isolate the trigger and hold still is the first thing that falls apart under pressure, therefore it is the major thing that we work on all the time. There is no such thing as "Yeah, I got this, gimme some more drills." Two words: blow me. It doesn't happen. You're gonna work on this skill for the rest of your life. You're gonna train yourself to hold still all the time. We're all subject to fall apart if we don't learn this drill. An incredible firearm skills Going past the nice alignment: 3:58 - 4:37 Now on the top row we're going to combine the sights aligned and seeing what you need to see. It's a visual drill. I'll make sure the sights are aligned, that's the kinaesthetic part, then I'm gonna see what I need to see. How long do I have to see it? Until the shot has left the barrel. Not just "Oh, there it is!"...and jank the shit out of it. Until the shot has left the barrel, that's how long I have to see it. 5:15 - 5:25 Row 2: Now what I'm going to do is, I'm still going to see it...listen carefully: My primary awareness is now gonna be on only moving the tip of my finger and nothing else. [...] only focus on the trigger... 6:05 - 7:55 Row 3: Breath out until you can't get any lower to the ground. [...] You've got to relax, your lower diaphragm, your lower abdomen relax, you gonna sink...don't pee yourself. Relax everything down, including your feet. Feet drop, diaphragm, shoulders...everything drops. We call that the LRP, the lowest relaxed point. That's the point you should get to. If you're gona make a precise, accurate shot at speed at distance or a close range mass, you relax your body down and from that point raise what needs to be raised to make the gun fire, to make the shot you're going to make. Does that make sense? You're in a stream right now...and you lean forward and allow that water to run around you...you let all of it flow around you, that's recoil. You're gonna allow that energy to pass through your body...out the other side and leave. Got it? Let's do it. 08:15 Did the group get better? It's improving cause now he's aware of " holding still" ? (unsure what he says here) 08:25 - 09:35 Now we're going to reinforce what we were doing after holding still, keeping the grip consistent, now we're going to reinforce his vision. If I want maximum certainty that this goes where I want it, I need to call the shot. Where was the sight in that aiming area? Where did I see it inside that circle? Top left/right quadrant, bottom left/right quadrant, middle? That's how fine he has to do it. I'm gonna mark a cross-hair line...now he has to call the quadrant. 1: center right 2: bottom right 3: ? 09:37 - 10:40 In your minds eye, when that gun fires, and that's the hard part, you *think* you look at the sights...what happens is: When that gun fires , you don't look at the sights, rushing the trigger and looking right past to see where the bullet went and you're trying to get to the next shot. You have to calmly let the gun fire and at the instant it fires, take a mental snapshot...write this down if you have to: *The eye is the lens, but the brain is the film*. If that sight doesn't register on your brain, you fire a pointed shot, not an aimed shot. You did not see the sight at that instant. When you start doing this for real and you really start calling those shots, your shooting is gonna jump up exponentially. [...can't understand it, I guess when the speed shooting affects precision shooting 10:32 ] Don't know [...] doing it, you're going to see your shooting suffer but you'll know how to come back and that's the purpose. 10:42 - 11:27 Now...the hidden skill...and that is which one? We are going to let the bullet leave the barrel without disturbing the flight of said bullet. What I tell people is: Allow the gun to leave/lift it's recoil. Don't fight the recoil, let the energy run into you [...] *let the gun cycle* 11:30 - 12:28 Now a little faster on the 3'' dot...3 shots at a time. Now instead of bringing it back on target, he's bringing it on the next target. That's part of the follow through called steering. When that gun fires, in the recoil, as it's coming back I can instantly steer it to the next target. Let the energy of the gun do 80% of the work for you. All I do is steering with my eye where I want to go.
I'm curious how to do this drill with a Glock pistol- would you press the slide release right after the live shot, and then dry fire the second trigger pull?
Brandon Swafford They are loading one then removing the magazine. The slide won't lock without the follower of an empty magazine pressing up on the slide lock. That's pretty much standard on all handguns.
@@Blazinm3 By any chance, do you have the Video of Ron on "Science of the Draw Stroke"? It's been set to private and I don't even see who got the video to ask for an access link.
Well the first thing I wasn't too keen on about Ron's class was that he lost a bunch of rounds from his mag as he attempted to get it back in the holder and he didn't even notice ... not a great start.
Sure, mess up the whole presentation cause you dropped a few rounds? He did notice it, that's what you can hear and see in his hand movement that he won't make a bigger deal out of it. It's insane that he could even do those classes while he was dealing with cancer. He died last year.
@@onpsxmember Very sorry to hear that, was the fumbling a consequence of his treatment perhaps? Just the first thing I noticed off the bat and didn't look like a pro move. I know nothing about the man, it was an observation only.
@@thevelointhevale1132 We focus on the mistakes we can find, that is human nature. We hook into small openings in the armour. I don't know enough details about his treatment or when this was recorded. I know from other videos that he lost a lot of weight and that it could be a factor, but it doesn't really matter. Top athletes drop balls, fumble with the gear lever, can't concentrate for a short moment. I never met him but he seems like a real fighter, battling on. I'd wish I could get his DVDs or take a class from the TPC, but it's especially hard in those times + traveling at least to bulgaria + paperwork isn't fun either.
@@onpsxmember The top athletes I pay attention to drill skills so repetitively they don't make those mistakes. If you're teaching people you don't want to be making rooky errors ... not a good look.
So you are saying Mario Andretti never had a mechanical failure or Brady never fumbled a football? We all make mistakes or accidents happen or gear fails after being ran day in and day out relentlessly. The focus was on the FREE training wisdom from decades of experience from him not the fact he had a worn out magazine spring that decided to puke rounds.
What a shity class; rent a range. Who wants to pay that kind of money to have so many distractions. I like Ron's style, but I never teach on the other side of the firing line.
He made a positive difference in many lives and his teachings still make a positive difference today!

Absolutely one of my favorite drills!
At times hard to hear with background noise.Allways top quality instruction.I just don't want to miss anything.I have found NONE better on YT. THANKS
Ditto... on all counts!
Thanks guys, it was kind of a hip pocket class and all I had was a cell phone.
Thank you for posting this!
Absolutely!
this was a great video.
Thanks glad you enjoyed some legend
RIP Ron.

Too bad I can't hear him because of the background noise.
Ya it was a noisy day and an impromtu video using a cellphone with out a directional mic......
Horrible audio guys for such vital information. Love and learn from you guys anyway!!!!!
It was an impromtu recording. If I could go back and do it again I would defintley have had better audio for us all to enjoy.
Gat! 👊😎
pew pew
Ron has lost ALOT of weight.
He was a legend.
