John, there's nothing wrong with Beth's stance. It might not work for you, but it does work for Beth. No two people will have the exact same stance and not everyone will be comfortable with the Weaver stance. A crouching stance is a solid base and has different tactical advantages than a Weaver. Both are viable defensive stances. The point of this video was to give some training ideas on how to improve your follow up shots.

Well, I guess we'll see how well that stance works when a target moves laterally or closer to her. Just because my dog is more comfortable going to the bathroom in the house doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. At 4 yards an attacker would be on her before she had the chance to draw, bend her knees, and push that pistol way out in front of her. 4 yards is basically 4 steps. When she pushes that gun THAT far out in front of her, she loses precious time. At 4 yards, you should be drawing while taking a step BACK from the target (into a Weaver stance) to give you that extra bit of distance and time to get the gun into the fight. If you aren't teaching people how to use a gun to properly to defend themselves, then what the hell are you doing? I was in the Marines and I'm a 4th award expert. I don't claim to be an instructor, and I sincerely hope that these guys don't claim to be instructors either, but I took a girl that never picked up a gun in her life, and after about 8 hours of basics and dry firing, and about 250 rounds, she can shoot groups half this size at twice the distance. We haven't even COME CLOSE to being confident enough in her proficiency to start drills like this. I could write an essay on all the things wrong with this video. The bottom line is that the more muscle that you have to use to take a shot, the less accurate you are going to be. Have Beth hold her shooting position for 10 minutes, then put her in a Weaver stance for 10 minutes and ask her which one is more comfortable and which stance she was able to keep her front sight on target the best, then go from there. Obviously she is a new shooter, and I don't blame her stance on her, I blame that completely ineffective stance on everyone that didn't tell her that her stance will never be successful against someone that is trying to hurt her. This is the kind of video that gives people that false sense of security that either gets them seriously hurt or worse. You should be ashamed.

John for the clear W. I almost skipped video after seeing her first shot. Instructor loss all credibility to me right then

@@logankeen9478 Thanks! These guys are just grifters that want to play all day and make money. I feel bad for that girl because they are giving her false confidence, like Karate. She doesn't understand that the bad guy is going to be on top of her at the exact moment that she finally gets her hand on her pistol, then he is going to take it from her.

@@JohnnyVeritas it's a shame because this was likely the only thing in her life she was confident about. Come to find out she is inadeque in shooting as well

Slow is slow

@@litld01 Damn right! And if they are taking 2 seconds to draw, squat, and lean forward, then they don't have a chance at the 4 yard line anyway...

Michael Gross why be so technical. They are at the range.

Michael Gross range master always make you clear the gun before checking targets. No hot weapons. Safety Safety SAFETY

Steven Bowles bad habits are easily developed. As a former policeman I found that what you do casually can greatly affect crisis level actions.

Steven Bowles so how does this translate to daily life and everyday carry? Oops I forgot to reload and now I need to defend myself with an empty gun...

@@stevenbowles2068 As long as the firearm is holstered everyone would/should be safe

Happy to hear that you enjoyed it, Anthony! Let us know how it goes! :)

I will email you with more information, Chad! :)

Randy Jones Sorry Randy, but watching videos WILL NOT improve your gun handling skills. Watching a video of someone running a drill is NOT another tool, in the tool bag. That's like saying "I watch the PGA every Sunday. By the end of the summer, I'll be shooting in the 60's!!!!! lol Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Sorry.

Nice job!!!????? She shot a 10" group from 4 yards!!!! Mostly low-left. Wow. Okay.....
