Lol why would anyone dislike the video? I'm a former Navy Special Operations, and weapons instructor. This guy is great. This is the first video I've seen of his. Its always good to steal great info from others 🙂. Good work and presentation brother

Im new to guns and I started a local range beginners course. An hour of my instructor bragging about how great a shot he was, told me to load my clip and shoot 10 rounds for "assessment" of where Im at, eventhough I told him many times lI'm new, brand new, green, totally first timer and called me out on everything I did wrong was totally humiliating and I just left. I wish you were closeby, you take the time to explain why and how to do it properly, Id really like to learn. Not feeling like trying again anytime soon, but just wanted to say thanks, the video makes me realize not all instructors are like the one I got.

I've been instructing marksmanship fundamentals since the mid 90's. Started in military and now in law enforcement. Everything you just said is pretty much the same stuff I try to teach now. Great content and well presented. I may even play it during my next class so I don't have to talk as much.

No coincidences. Very thorough video will help me develop better pistol habits, thank you Myles! 1) Stance 0:33 2) Grip 3:20 3) Support Hand 5:27 4) Trigger Pull 7:26 5) Sight Alignment/Picture 10:55 🤙

Flipping that gun around never once sweeps the camera man.... True professional need more like this

I recently just bought my first gun, and this one video has taught me more than any other video. Its intimidating and seems easy in ones mind, until you get to the gun range. And having no one to help or teach these things, leads one to YouTube where this video alone gave me much needed clarity as to why I keep doing certainthings.... Thank You so much!

I am a new sshooter, and am making all 5 of the mystakes that were discribed. Thank you for the very clear explantions and demostrations. Prior to two weeks ago I had never held nor shot a handgun. I am looking forward to putting your information to good use.

It’s been about 10 years since I went and got my concealed hand gun license. I never ended up buying one. I bought my first hand gun 2 days ago. I watched your videos and went to the range yesterday. I felt much more confident about practicing safe range practices. I put almost all my rounds in a 5 inch shot group at 25 yards by the time I was done. Knowing why I pulled to the left and down on my first 5 rounds made it easy to adjust. I knew my grip was good and had my iron sights correct and my shooting posture. That meant it was how I was squeezing the trigger. I forgot to ensure I was pulling back with the meaty part of my finger. Having seen your videos allowed me to make the proper adjustment to fix my shot group and location. I will be taking some self defense classes soon and will be going to the range once a week as part of my continued education and training. Thank you for providing great content!

Man, this guy is a good teacher. Those graphics really drive the point home.

9:30 that hilarious moment when a professional tries to shoot like shit and still does better than me trying my hardest to get it right.

Myles, new shooter here…I’m a professional communicator. Your instruction along with the video editing is the among the most clear and concise I’ve seen. Excellent job.

Im sure you are a very competent shooter. Even better than that, you have an excellent approach to teaching disciplines, not over-laboured, calm and very clear. Great production and very helpful, thanks!!

He can't miss even when demonstrating the wrong way! Great presentation of the fundamental elements.

I love how this guy explains EVERYTHING & also DEMONSTRATES the proper ways 👏

The man has remarkable muzzle discipline. He doesn't drop the care just because it's just him and the camera. That, is how you develop great habits.

I just purchased my first 9 mm haven’t used a semiautomatic in years and found myself doing one of the other things that you shouldn’t do. Proper hand placement is a must I got a slide bite. It’s not the guns fault it’s mine but it’s a lesson learned thumb is almost completely healed. Thank you for your videos

Thank you for the tips. It’s been many years since I have been out at the range and your pointers were extremely helpful. I felt much less nervous and more confident in the fact that I was doing things correctly. I appreciate you!!

As a new gun owner and just recently completed my concealed carry course, the videos such as this, are extremely helpful to not only refresh the teaching points I learned but furthering my education to become a better and more accurate shooter. Thank you so much for making them!
