In this episode, Brent Wheat and Roy Huntington embrace their inner "Fudds" to discuss why shooting like it's 1955 is the secret to mastering modern firearms.
While high-speed, low-drag tactical training is all the rage, we explain why pure bullseye precision shooting is the ultimate foundation for any concealed carry or combat shooter. Discover real-world examples from law enforcement where taking a slow, deliberate shot neutralized the threat, and learn why dumping a magazine at top speed will only ensure you miss faster.
We also share two completely free marksmanship drills you can practice on your next range trip using nothing more than a blank piece of paper and a .22 pistol. Tune in to learn why slow is smooth, smooth is fast, and how going back to basics can dramatically shrink your group sizes under pressure.
Key Takeaways
• Speed is useless without precision; drawing fast only to miss fast will get you or innocent bystanders killed.
• Practicing slow, deliberate bullseye fire is a fundamental building block for all shooters, even top-tier tactical operators.
• Real-world combat instances prove that remaining calm and applying basic marksmanship fundamentals often end threats instantly.
• The mantra 'slow is smooth, smooth is fast' applies directly to building foundational firearm manipulation and accuracy skills.
• Try the blank paper and small circle drills with a .22 pistol to diagnose trigger control and sight alignment issues.
