Bob's probably one of the Best Competition shooters who can articulate what the keys are to successful shooting. He's straight to point and concise. Great video!
All great points from a shooting nerd (nerds make the best instructors so I say that with the utmost respect). But I would like to point out something that was a big hindrance to me. The shrugging of the shoulders (time 4:33) and just tensing up things that don't need tensing. I found when I shrugged my shoulders my front sight would dip. So when I started relaxing my shoulders and keeping a slight bend in my elbows and simply bringing the sights up to my eyes, my sight acquisition was faster and much more consistent.
Interesting on the slow mo how he was sneaking his trigger finger into the trigger guard basically before the muzzle even cleared the holster. Obviously it's just fine for him because he's Bob Vogel. But that is pretty dangerous for most shooters. Well done Surefire, amazing quality video in all aspects
Thanks for the kind words! Definitely something to be cognizant about for most shooters. That said, if you look at the footage at 4:22, you can see the finger slide off the holster and thump on to the side of the frame, so he's indexing outside the trigger guard still.
Great instruction. I do not feel that he is talking down to his audience like some. I wonder if there is a difference in dry fire or live fire practice for competitive shooting vs dry fire or live fire practice for self-defense? If I am doing reps where every time I draw and present I am pulling the trigger, is that conditioning me to possibly unintentionally shoot in a self-defense situation?
May I suggest you use video in slowmotion as you. Forming the weak hand grip/well I can see is critical because everything thereafter flows from that. ALSO PLEASE use and show slow video, separate angle on hoe weakside grip if formed. I guess it seems like a lot butt doing so, I believe, would give it a ten star rating. Now, THIS grip may solve my grip problem; I post surgical joint mobility issues with my right MCP. I've dried fired a lot, but refer to the video several times during practice to be sure I got it right. THANK YOU for your help!
They tell you not to fully extend your arms, but I notice Rob does. I guess not every form/technique is set in stone. It's whatever works best for you individually
I usually skip the videos with the annoying hammer music soundtrack, every video has it in every tutorial or youtuber on guns. That saying, Love the video!
I am absolutely sick of people teaching the draw from an OWB, or worse, a competition holster. Leaning away from your draw helps *immensely* in clearing your cover garment from a concealed draw, especially if you have a waist-length coat or jacket on.

woah, this is one of the most well-spoken marksman I've heard. Way to go on this video all around!
Great information from an amazing shooter
