I think fundamental techniques, to include, but not limited to draw, reload (+on the move), turns, crouch, prone, shoot on the move are best trained in a dry fire setting (to achieve repetitions to make subconscious), verified in live fire training and benchmarked in matches (to see level, what goes well and what requires more - dry fire - training). I strongly recommend to film yourself, so you're not training incorrectly. DVC

I just bought this one:

I use the DAA Alpha Xi pouches (some with a magnet attached - or magnet alone) for my Open rig (bullets out): easy to set to your liking (amongst others, due to ball joint, sturdy, easy to fit to your mags (with inserts and tension screw), and easy to individualize. Never had any issues, to include when going prone. Pay once, cry once

To date I always used the Pilla Panther X7 with clear lenses. I bought and tested the Hunters HD Gold specifically for the use on indoor ranges (not outdoors). After several months of testing I really prefer the Pilla over the Hunters HD Gold. I'm working on a review video.

Very individual based on the context per shooter. I think everything depends on your passion for the sport, quantity, but more importantly, qualiity of your dry and live fire training and participation in matches to grow and learn at your own pace considering your predetermined objectives, understanding that you'll never stop learning

Yeah, give it a try. I played with it for a while a few years ago. It was different than my traditional grip but neither better nor worse. To answer that I would have had to spend a lot of time learning the new grip. I couldn't see dong that for something that may not be any better. If it wasn't better, I would have to go back to re-learning my original, traditional grip. Who has that time?
Grauffel talks about his grip on, I believe, Firearms Nation. He learned it from his dad/coach when he first got started.
Agree, if the grip, recoil management, ASP, results and time are good, don't change.

To my knowledge very few shooters actually use this technique. Amongst them world champion Eric Grauffel. The majority uses the standard grip, with some a modified one, which is a little higher, such as Robert Vogel. At the end it's a shooter's personal preference. If the time and the results show a good result, why not.

I agree, there is not really a best way, and a specific technique is often shooter, context and equipment related/driven. The big benefit of NOT canting the gun is that the sight picture remains exact to both hands shooting and the recoil with sights/dot movement to zero too. Test both to see actual results in points and time.

Train the right technique in dry fire and repeat to make process subconscious and build your confidence. Then test on live range.

Yes it will happen and has happened to me. The problem is, if you focus on it so much, it takes a lot of joy out of shooting. My son has DQed for several different reasons and not the same one twice. The problem now is he is terrified of doing something wrong and shooting is not as much fun for him.
I think it’s the old adage, don’t focus on what not to do, but focus on what you should be doing right. It’s working with him, just have some scars to heal from. And yes they are important scars, he definitely learned from them, we just don’t focus on them.
Agree, stay positive!

Grip is very individual and dependent on many different parameters (ex: overall built, size of hands, grip strength, type/size of gun, ammo used, etc and technique) . A good drill to test whether you have a good position, draw, GRIP and recoil control is the Bill drill (of which there are many variations - I'm fond of the "classic" Bill drill), preferebly filmed to analyze every movement and your reults (time/grouping).

Thanks, all great information. I recently picked up Steve Anderson’s books and will go the Dry Fire and confirm by practice method. I just got hooked really fast, but I don’t want to get caught in the excitement and miss the improvement part. I will take the advice as mentioned above and select a match to attend after putting in some extra work. I agree in that purely shooting matches will not gain me the growth I’m looking for.
Shooting matches will grow your mental strength, stage planning skill and social network. Training in dry and live fire sessions, matches to benchmark level and built on to evolve in future trainings.

I strongly recommend you buy and read Ben Stoeger's most recent practical shooting book, which provides a road map to improve, depending on the staring level. In addition I suggest you buy and read Steve Anderson's 3 books. Dry fire can significantly improve fundamental skills.
