I am not posting a full article with the next couple videos. I wanted to experiment making handgun videos using my class PowerPoint presentations. I did feel the need to be a little more brief in my explanations of the slides than I normally am in class, but that’s because in class, with me jumping around and passing around training aids it takes me about 45 minutes to an hour to describe the concepts I posted here. I don’t think I can keep a YouTube Audience interested for an hour long video.

As always, these handgun videos do not take the place of live interaction with a qualified instructor. This is just another attempt to use a new medium to help give a new shooter a starting point in their training so they may feel a little more comfortable in a formal class.

Gun Safety begins in the head long before the hand touches the gun.

As Clint Smith says, it is a lifestyle.

A person needs to be actively self responsible, mentally present, and educated on proper handgun function and safety before they ever touch a gun.  Once they understand how a gun works and are not ignorant of the issues then they can be safe.

It does not matter if you follow the 3 NRA safety rules, or Coopers 4 Universal firearm safety rules.  You can use the 16 rules from my home range, or the 1 rule from blackhawk down.  Gun Safety boils down to one thing.  There are no accidents only negligent people.

A novice or not, everyone should know guns are dangerous if how respected.  So don’t touch them without respect.

3 Ways to Prepare Children for Disasters

Though some people do not want to think about it, disasters may occur no matter what. It is vital for parents to ensure that each member of the family is ready for a disaster. What should a parent do to prepare a child for unfortunate situations? The information below 3 Ways to Prepare Children for Disasters may help.

Encourage Memorization

In order to prepare a child for a disaster, it is necessary for a parent to teach a child personal information. If the child separates from the family during a disaster, he or she should carry the knowledge of the location of his or her home. The child should also know his or her name. It may not be easy to teach this information; however, that does not make the information less valuable or critical. The parent may wish to quiz the child on a frequent basis.

Understand the Signs

It is vital for a child to understand the signs of a disaster. It may not be possible for a parent to reach the child; therefore, the child should be aware of the signs of a dangerous situation. When the child understands, it is easier for the child to get away from fires, floods, and other disasters. The child should carry a cell phone; if a phone call is necessary, a loved one may be reached. If the home is unsafe, it is indispensable for the child to have a designated second shelter. A neighbor’s house or a church may suffice.

Teach Camping Techniques

It is not enough for a child to learn the signs of a disastrous situation; if a parent wishes to prepare a child for an emergency, camping techniques are crucial. A child should understand the steps necessary for assembling a tent. This does not have to be a dull lesson; the parent may wish to wait for a camping trip in order to add an element of adventure. If the family cannot go on a camping trip, the parent may wish to enlist a child in a summer camp program. Summer camp allows a child to learn critical survival techniques and interact with people of different backgrounds.

People do not like to think about disasters. Disasters lead to dangerous and deadly situations; this makes it an unattractive subject. However, a family should understand the steps that are necessary for these situations. If the family has children, the children should be aware of what to do in order to survive. The parent may wish to help the child memorize the physical address of the family. It is also beneficial for the child to know how to tackle basic camping strategies. When a child is aware of what to do, a disaster is less likely to push a family apart.

Bob Munden

Bob Munden is a legendary trick shot.  He can do things with a revolver that will blow your mind.

I love watching this trick shot, and even though I know how he did it (and think its cheating) I cannot replicate it.

Before he passed in 2012 he was a world-renowned exhibition shooter with handguns, rifles and shotguns and held 18 world-records for fast draw techniques.

Guinness World Records even named Bob Munden the “Fastest Man with a Gun Who Ever Lived”.

In the video above Bob Munden is using a Colt .45 single-action revolver to shoot two balloons eight feet apart in less than a tenth of second.

That is pretty amazing no matter how he does it.

Wikipedia mentions that when he was on the Stan Lee Superhuman’s Program it was tested and found his hand sustains 10 Gs of force as he draws the handgun.

That is pretty neat in my book.  I like to show this video to my students so they can appreciate what you can do with devotion to practice.  Bob is the fastest but I also like to show Jerry Miculek shooting fast AND accurately as well as Tomasie with the world’s fastest reload.

 

Jerry Miculek the Fastest Revolver Shot Alive

Jerry Miculek is the living embodiment of revolver shooting.  He is the fastest revolver shot alive, and besides being fast, he is accurate.

The video shared is older, but it shows Jerry Miculek setting a world record for fast revolver shooting.

I have recently heard he set another speed record at the 2017 Shot Show, but I have not found any video of it yet.

I really enjoy Jerry Miculek’s videos, he is humble, talented, and enjoys both shooting and sharing shooting with others.

There is no doubt that he has information to share when it comes to shooting.  Not just revolvers, even though that is his specialty, but all manner of guns.

What he does with a shoulder fired Barrett .50 is nothing short of amazing.
