This is a small glimpse of why Travis is an amazing instructor. What sent him apart for me was he does not teach technique, he teaches principals. Technique will only take you so far. Principals will allow you to take yourself to your own limits, huge differences. Thanks Travis for a great video and being a real person witch is far more important in life.
Whoever controls this channel please make Travis do more of these. Of everything I see as far as drills and tactics are concerned nothing comes close to the knowledge I obtain from listening to him. Awesome vid, keep them up guys!
we are working on it! Travis is a busy guy and its hard for him to devote a lot of time to video when he is all over the place (world) and R&D training etc... BUT there are a lot of blogs coming since we did film a lot in one setting and will be releasing a couple every month! from now on! thans for the support
Those last two were beautiful with that movement. Can you imagine running into a guy like this? Rounds on target so quickly and accurately, being elusive at the same time.
Travis, that was awesome! I am relatively new to handgun shooting and have shot well over 10,000 rounds(countless dry fires), don't think I will ever get to where you are. Again, absolutely amazing! I could watch folks like you and Ron Avery all day, it is so fascinating to me to watch you guys work.
I tried doing this yesterday at our departments range. It is actually really simple to get good at. I am still super slow but when you go and try it, it will probably feel really natural to you.
Originally started watching these vids because he's badass but now I find myself taking away much more and seeking and applying the life application aspects. Semper Fi brother
We are constantly ingrained with that speed, intensity and violence of action mentality...tactics, tactics, tactics. Very informative. Definetely peels away the layers and examines the underlying issues. Excellent. Thanks Travis. Learn something every time I tune in.
Funny how the media never have guys like Haley, Costa, Lamb, Vickers, etc on their shows to talk about the great things that are happening with in the fire ams community. They always manage to find some nitwit....Excellent vid as always
This is the old El Presidente without the mag change done buy Lt Jeff Cooper ( the father of modern tactical training) back in the 60s. Old school always works.
Another note, zero is very good and doesn't deserve to be blasted. We are all so lucky for the age we live in to have access to this thing called UA-cam, we can see what all the great instructors have to share, mr Haley is soooo good at articulating his lessons, certainly one of the best, but taking training in person is needed too, I have got so far to go with my learning, and not doing it for law enforcement, just for fun, mayby a small local competition and to be more proficient in case the worst case scenario does pop up to be able to handle it better. Again Mr Haley, you are amazing!!
The way you break down shooting and tactics into such fine detail is amazing critical thinking. It not only gives answers to questions but also presents questions with answers that many do not think of. It's refreshing to see this as oppose to the norm being "do it like this because its better" etc. My goal is to train in at least one of your classes one day, but my failure point is time currently. I have a new son, and a business to run, so I have very little time to travel. I hope you come to Las Vegas as a destination so that I may have the honor of your instruction. Mick-
Thank you for your great videos Mr Haley. You have a very large following in my shooting circles and we use your material to train ourselves. If you ever decide to come to South Africa you will be very well received. God bless and stay safe!
Just wanted to stop by and say thank you for producing these videos. I recently regurgitated a lot of your stuff while teaching a class at my department. The class (geared toward plain clothes CID personnel) went really well. I used a few of your targets from the 8.5x11 target pack you have available and the Lucky Charms target was a big hit. Wish I could take a class in person, but for now these videos are great.
Thank you Gerard I feel like I would be letting myself down if I didn't put my actions where my mouth is, and then in turn letting the people I serve down.
+Andy Shush you. :) I remember going to the Citadel before they closed and the lady saying "you ain't going to California are you" "No ma'am" says I show her my CA Id for verification. She puts my "purchases" in my bag (very discreet, a Victoria Secret bag, but then I am not sure if I should be more nervous about the bag or the actual contents inside being revealed) and completes the purchase. I walk out of the store waiting for the Spanish Inquisition, since you never expect them, but it seems my expecting negated their arrival. Which was unexpected. The only Spanish thing I saw was the cook at the buffet later that afternoon, making me a mean enchilada. Needless to say, "I" would never offend our "progressive" state by bringing home such barbaric high-capacity liberal-slaying clipazines.
Thank you for putting these types of videos out. I'm gonna try this style when I practice with my handgun and with my AR. I know/hope I never use this style in a real world setting but it's nice to shake things up in the backyard :-)
You have to listen to some Barry white while you’re out there to get your rhythm going. 🤣 I’m used to making comments on garand thumbs channel. Ha. Awesome video. Love all the drills you put out here. I just found your channel because of his channel
what makes a person faster is also "awareness" of the environment around them, this will add time in your favor and give you a head start even if the attacker is a faster shooter. since real life isnt a beeper or buzzer, its not the fastest that wins but the first to be aware and place shot accurately, there have been many plain citizens with no tactical shooting experience who have won shootouts based only on awareness, because being alert is the same as speed, you can also tell by body language when a threat is going to happen, many full length videos on youtube that teach body movements and how to interpret them.
Look at the first shots and how "slow" he's done it. Those double taps were incredibly all grouped together and very fast follow-up. In the fast part I can't even comment.... holy moly.
i watch this video a lot. really enjoy your vids. seems like i can always learn something new or remind myself of what i need to be doing when i shoot. slowing it down and practicing, big tips to remember and follow through with!
Travis, a brother Spanish marine here. Thanks a lot for sharing not onky the drill but also the right explanations about it. I really appreciate it. Maybe a stupid question, but I have to ask it to know the answer. Are you using your sights? You know some guys talk about point shooting and instinctive shooting.
Bad ass! And as always very professional. I wish you and you're family a happy safe 4th of July. Thank you for serving. Its men amd women like you that make it possible for is to have a independence day.
Awesome drill Hayley. Im trying to find a outdoor range in my area so that I can practice, get back in shooting shape as I say lol. So thanks again and keep them coming. Knowledge is power! SEMPER FI
Travis can we see a video of your favorite carbine or handguns and the mods you use for ideas for us viewers to think about. Or what knifes you like to carry.
5.56 Or 5.45? No, but I make a large part of my life studying as many religions and beliefs as I can to better understand the entire world, not just the one I live in.
HaleyStrategic I can dig it .. well said. People live their lives so differently all over the world it's crazy. It's very interesting. I'm searching for that higher power man .. or at least some sort or some aspect of spirituality .. trying to get my shit together and get my life right. Thank you for the insight into your approach. I admire your accomplishments.
5.56 Or 5.45? Not trying to bash you or anything but why are you searching for something beyond you to help you out? It's you, you're the one that has to work hard and get things done, even if that means the shitty jobs that no one else is willing to do and making excuses for.You're the one doing all the work not some higher being.
Just FYI at around 6:16 when the tension definition pops up at the bottom of the video you misspelled a word. Its "stretched" not "streched". Just thought you should know and I appreciate what you do for the industry.
Curious about two things. How far from the targets are you and what type of ear protection are you wearing? Thanks for the great videos just getting setup to try this drill out. Peace and blessings.....
I run a single stack 1911 so running this is perfect for me because i can work an active reload into it. Or maybe a tactical reload im fuzzy on the specifics of terminology
I know this is an old video, but do you incorporate leg workouts and training? I do Muay Thai, i do a lot of kicking. It is 100% hip and leg work while relative to your upper body. Switching fast. It seems like it would be useful for this drill.
I just had a random idea while watching this video about targets featuring a picture of a real person: show the target using a correct grip and stance so it's a subconscious reminder for what a correct grip and stance looks like.
This may sound a bit "off" but I'm seriously thinking of getting back into Tai Chi, to develop core strength and consciousness of balance for shooting - it might seem odd, but there are definite tie-ins to 'the part under the water' and Tai Chi
What type of pistol where you using in this video? Stock or upgrades to it? Also what type of grip would you call your grip? A few more knowledgable shooters I know kinda taught me to do the standard left hand over right hand grip... but the more videos I watch a lot of the experienced shooters have your grip where your left hand is kinda griping the frame infront of the trigger guard?? I ve been wondering this for a while..?
Mr. Haley, seems like there are flashes of what looks to be a PowerPoint presentation in this video - how would I go about getting a copy of this presentation? Thank you sir.
Same as up here north of the border. But with a round in the chamber and a full magazine, it gives you a total of 11 rds so you only need to drop 1rd to do this drill as "2-2-3-2-2". This puts you at slide lock for an speed reload, then the search and assess...
Sadly, CA-compliant magazines do not do so well loaded to full capacity (10) on a closed slide. The lawyers are deathly afraid of that scary "11th round" sneaking into the magazine. For reliability reasons, I generally download mags to 9.
Travis, would it be faster and more efective to put one round on each target and then on the "return" movement saturate each with more rounds? Would it disturb (at least) every target faster, even if not totally efective and create more time to go back and shot them again? Just thinking... Thanks for share this video and explanation. Greetings from Brazil!
of course it will always depend on the situation, but I like 2 out of the gate because most of the time one rd does shit... but if I can get 2 in each (6total) in under 1.5 sec thats pretty good odds.
I love it when Travis puts this training out to the public for those of us that cannot attend his classes live.
You never cease to amaze us with your high level of skill and professionalism.
You have a huge respect from us.
Cheers from Slovenia! :)
And Brazil!
And Ireland
And Canada
And Australia

I like actually seeing Travis perform these drills because he illustrates it well and also creates a good benchmark to work towards.
This is a small glimpse of why Travis is an amazing instructor. What sent him apart for me was he does not teach technique, he teaches principals. Technique will only take you so far.

I love that he explains his mistakes to help people learn from them. unlike some trainers who act like they didn't happen.

I have been watching your videos for the last few days and you are awesome. You and people like you are like super hero's to me.
Another note, zero is very good and doesn't deserve to be blasted.

Again, Great to see someone do a video with substance. Talk about and discuss exercise science topics....biomechanics.
Thank you for your great videos Mr Haley. You have a very large following in my shooting circles and we use your material to train ourselves. If you ever decide to come to South Africa you will be very well received. God bless and stay safe!

Haley is actually writing the Gun-Kata (ref: Equilibrium)
Lol
As always I feel like I am drinking from the "Haley fire hose of knowledge" with my teacup of a brain! Thanks for sharing!
1 thing at a time then move forward. I have a tendency to try to learn everything at once and have to slow myself down
Why the heck would 10 people dislike this video? Great video! Food for thought for my next range trip for sure!
First time watching you perform...your tactics are so well performed, not just words brother...you back them up with superb performance!
Thank you Gerard I feel like I would be letting myself down if I didn't put my actions where my mouth is, and then in turn letting the people I serve down.
In California this is the 2242reload2 drill!
+Andy "Compliant" magazines and a drill press is all I am going to say...
Dave Smith or a trip to Vegas 😂
+Andy
Shush you. :)
I remember going to the Citadel before they closed and the lady saying "you ain't going to California are you"
"No ma'am" says I show her my CA Id for verification.
She puts my "purchases" in my bag (very discreet, a Victoria Secret bag, but then I am not sure if I should be more nervous about the bag or the actual contents inside being revealed) and completes the purchase. I walk out of the store waiting for the Spanish Inquisition, since you never expect them, but it seems my expecting negated their arrival. Which was unexpected. The only Spanish thing I saw was the cook at the buffet later that afternoon, making me a mean enchilada.
Needless to say, "I" would never offend our "progressive" state by bringing home such barbaric high-capacity liberal-slaying clipazines.
Dave Smith nor would i good sir, but i will say that this drill goes alot better when you dont have to stop and reload!😂😂
***** lmao!!
Please more videos like this, this helps so much.
Thank you for putting these types of videos out. I'm gonna try this style when I practice with my handgun and with my AR. I know/hope I never use this style in a real world setting but it's nice to shake things up in the backyard :-)
No impossibilities. I dig it! Things are improbable never impossible!
You have to listen to some Barry white while you’re out there to get your rhythm going. 🤣 I’m used to making comments on garand thumbs channel. Ha. Awesome video. Love all the drills you put out here. I just found your channel because of his channel
Excellent drill! I'm definitely going to practice this when the weather breaks!
Amazing, incredible skill and form, like a boss Travis.
Great video. Def will be trying this drill. Thanks.
Best instructor on UA-cam. Bar NONE! 3.45 is my average on this drill. lol
what makes a person faster is also "awareness" of the environment around them, this will add time in your favor and give you a head start even if the attacker is a faster shooter. since real life isnt a beeper or buzzer, its not the fastest that wins but the first to be aware and place shot accurately, there have been many plain citizens with no tactical shooting experience who have won shootouts based only on awareness, because being alert is the same as speed, you can also tell by body language when a threat is going to happen, many full length videos on youtube that teach body movements and how to interpret them.

great video. I like the "why's" of what you're doing, as well as the demonstration of skill.
i watch this video a lot. really enjoy your vids. seems like i can always learn something new or remind myself of what i need to be doing when i shoot. slowing it down and practicing, big tips to remember and follow through with!
We don't deserve you man.. Amazing as always
Great videos. I'm just starting out with pistols. I shot rifles as a kid. Keep making videos. Good work Lots of good info
travis haley for president 2016
9years and still awesome
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise, Travis.
Thanks Travis
I will be on the look out for that video
Travis, a brother Spanish marine here. Thanks a lot for sharing not onky the drill but also the right explanations about it. I really appreciate it.
Maybe a stupid question, but I have to ask it to know the answer. Are you using your sights? You know some guys talk about point shooting and instinctive shooting.
Two words, THE MAN!
You're amazing. Thank you so much for these instructional videos!
Is it possible to get access to those slides you put up on mindsets and center of gravity?
Excellent explanation of how and why. Great video.
Bad ass! And as always very professional. I wish you and you're family a happy safe 4th of July. Thank you for serving. Its men amd women like you that make it possible for is to have a independence day.
Favorite drill to this day
Awesome drill Hayley. Im trying to find a outdoor range in my area so that I can practice, get back in shooting shape as I say lol. So thanks again and keep them coming. Knowledge is power! SEMPER FI
Travis can we see a video of your favorite carbine or handguns and the mods you use for ideas for us viewers to think about. Or what knifes you like to carry.
sure thing that is actually on the list to get done.
+HaleyStrategic still on the list?
Thanks for the video. Good stuff. I've got the 10rd dilemma up here in NY as well
The hip application is the same that is taught to us in our martial arts training.
Awesome drill Travis, I'm definitely going to incorporate this into my range time.
reference this video for more details for this one: VENTI 100 SHOT WAKE UP DRILL
Hey Mr haley .. are you a religious man?
5.56 Or 5.45? No, but I make a large part of my life studying as many religions and beliefs as I can to better understand the entire world, not just the one I live in.
HaleyStrategic I can dig it .. well said. People live their lives so differently all over the world it's crazy. It's very interesting.

Thank you for the video. Great advice and amazing stuff!! Learned a great deal.
Great vídeo. Thanks to share with us. 🇧🇷
Great drill! Thanks for the video!
Just FYI at around 6:16 when the tension definition pops up at the bottom of the video you misspelled a word. Its "stretched" not "streched". Just thought you should know and I appreciate what you do for the industry.
thanks Sean, I will THRASH the editor!
Great instructional video.
Wow, that's fast and accurate. Awesome
Dang. That was some impressive drill slaying ..
Sorry if this question has already been asked. How far away from the target should you do this drill?
Travis, what were those materials you were showing us at around the 2:15 mark, what book or pamphlet?
I like the drill and will run it myself. But I'd really like to see you do more starting from concealment.
That rocked. Great drill.
Curious about two things. How far from the targets are you and what type of ear protection are you wearing? Thanks for the great videos just getting setup to try this drill out. Peace and blessings.....
Wow, that is awesome learning there.
Right handed shooter left eye dominant
My shots on target go hight left any way to correct problem Travis
I run a single stack 1911 so running this is perfect for me because i can work an active reload into it. Or maybe a tactical reload im fuzzy on the specifics of terminology
Damn that dude is a beast. Id love to do a travis haley class!
Outstanding !
Cool man!
Thanks for sharing
I know this is an old video, but do you incorporate leg workouts and training? I do Muay Thai, i do a lot of kicking. It is 100% hip and leg work while relative to your upper body. Switching fast. It seems like it would be useful for this drill.
GOOD DEAL, THANKS FOR SHARING SIR
I would like to see you run these drills with a duty holster. Safariland level 3, same holster I use at work.
I just had a random idea while watching this video about targets featuring a picture of a real person: show the target using a correct grip and stance so it's a subconscious reminder for what a correct grip and stance looks like.

I ve been wondering this for a while..?
It's a very modified glock 34 if I'm not mistaken. There's a hsp slimmer trigger in it as to the rest of the mods I have no idea.
*skimmer
Mr. Haley, seems like there are flashes of what looks to be a PowerPoint presentation in this video - how would I go about getting a copy of this presentation? Thank you sir.
This 22422 drill is often used as a stage in IDPA competitions.
Very informative.
I chuckle, since in CA, we can't do a 12-round drill like this on a single (10-round) magazine... I guess we get lots of reload practice!
yeah i think we need to do the "2242..." or maybe "22411" haha
Same as up here north of the border.
But with a round in the chamber and a full magazine, it gives you a total of 11 rds so you only need to drop 1rd to do this drill as "2-2-3-2-2".
This puts you at slide lock for an speed reload, then the search and assess...
Sadly, CA-compliant magazines do not do so well loaded to full capacity (10) on a closed slide. The lawyers are deathly afraid of that scary "11th round" sneaking into the magazine. For reliability reasons, I generally download mags to 9.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
Question, where can i get targets like those?
Great shooting, as always!
Travis, would it be faster and more efective to put one round on each target and then on the "return" movement saturate each with more rounds? Would it disturb (at least) every target faster, even if not totally efective and create more time to go back and shot them again? Just thinking...
Thanks for share this video and explanation. Greetings from Brazil!
of course it will always depend on the situation, but I like 2 out of the gate because most of the time one rd does shit... but if I can get 2 in each (6total) in under 1.5 sec thats pretty good odds.
HaleyStrategic Thank you for the answer... made sense. And keep coming with the videos and explanations.
Great shooting Leatherneck
For those times when someone may only to be able to have a 5 shot handgun what would you suggest?
I'm waiting for a Jerry Miculek video where he's doing this drill in under 1 second...
I would love to see that! It anyone can he can!
albi131 You'll never see it. UA-cam has a minimum upload length of 1sec.
His video is too short.
Hell yea!!!
nice job
I wish you could come and teach the SRT at Ft Riley
Patrick, make it happen! ;-)
Can you send me some information, and a better, more direct way to contact you?
Is there a proscribed distance for this drill, and what kind of targets are those?
Haley can you separate the targets as if they came in the store or etc (separately ) in different positions?
Great video thanks
hola travis respeto todo lo que dices y haces es posible que publiques un video de proteccion vip o como proteger a personalidades
Great drill. What earmuffs are those?
My idol, Awesome Shooting.
So. Freaking. Awesome.!
