When it comes to maximizing your proficiency in any area of life, you’ll hear it over and over again: go back to the basics.
That means that if you’re wanting to become a great cook, go back to the basics of quality ingredients and seasonings to put together a meal.
If you’re wanting to become a great musician, go back to the basics of rhythm, notes, melody, and practicing the simple basics so much that you don’t have to think about it when you are playing a gig (but you choose to anyway during your practice sessions).
If you want to be a great football player, you’ll focus on blocking and tackling, blocking and tackling.
You get the idea.
When it comes to being a great shooter, going back to basics, reviewing them and practicing regularly applies, too. And among those firearms basics are a smooth drawstroke from the holster to on target every time.
You want to be accurate as quickly as is feasibly possible because you don’t want to pull that trigger when the gun isn’t aimed at the target that you want it aimed at.
All that to say that a smooth drawstroke is important, but one of the regular “barriers” to a smooth drawstroke is your clothing. Too often your shirt gets caught on your gun as you’re drawing and trying to get on target.
That’s a huge problem in a self-defense situation, the kind of problem that could get you killed.
Fortunately, Caleb with Patriot Training Center has a short video below to help you with solving that problem.
Did you watch the video? Maybe more importantly, did you consider how to put the information in the video to use so that you can maximize the efficiency of your drawstroke?
If not, go back and rewatch the video again, considering how to put it to use. The life that you save may be your own.
