Mike Hughes Top Shot Train Up Videos #2

August 24th, 2011

The two week train up was fast and ferious.  Here are two videos taken the week prior to going down on Top Shot Season 3.  In these videos I am focusing on training with an open gun.  The open gun has a red dot optic mounted to the slide.  This handgun has muzzle compensator so it shoots flatter (muzzle lifts less when fired).  This video shows some training related to driving reloads fast, pushing the guns limits with controled pairs.

Mike Hughes' Vacation SIRT Dry Fire:

July 27th, 2011

AM 20 min training. Ok it was raining, but it was about 70 degrees so not that rigorous. I was working on moving laterally without the crab walk. I find a lateral crab walk to be too bouncy and slow. I am working on gaining flexibility to turn the hips and walk and keep the upper triangle on target.

Train Hard. Train Smart.

Live Fire and Dry Fire Barricade Shooting/Awkward Shooting Positions

July 26th, 2011

This is one of my favorite drills. Shooting in a crouch, around a barricade or anything other than upright is a deficiency in our performance. Shooting in these positions is a 1000 mile journey. It takes a lot of reps to get into position and shoot fast-n-accurate.

Live Fire and Dry Fire

July 26th, 2011

I always train with the SIRT on the range even when I have a ton of ammo. Basically I work my shooting skill sets with drills and then go live. This saves time from loading mags, but moreover I tend to push my self harder when I shoot dry. In part because I am not burning $.20+/round, but in the end my live fire is much more productive.

Dotson Drill

July 26th, 2011

This drill was created by Officer Derrick Dotson. Simply put the drill is brilliant. I find that I have to transition my eyes from the moving balls to the sights aggressively to get shots. I can point shoot at close range, but at distance I need my sights and trigger control.

Dotson Drill 2 with Thomas Heckens and Mike Hughes

July 26th, 2011

I love this drill. It is so darn addicting. Lets not shoot static targets. This drill is hard and you can tell by all the mikes (misses) Thomas and I throw.

Train Hard. Train Smart.
