Had an awesome one-on-one session with Eric today through Drop Shock Training Group’s Shooting Diagnosis and Corrections Course.
This course is a focused, one-hour private session built around the shooter’s current skill level, equipment, limitations, and goals. Before we even got to the range, Eric and I had already corresponded by email and spoke over the phone. We covered his ammo, firearm, optic setup, current issues, and what he wanted to improve.
Once we got to the range, everything was already set up and ready to go. I had Eric start by showing me his baseline. I wanted to see exactly what he was doing naturally before making corrections. From there, I diagnosed what was happening and tailored the rest of the session specifically around him.
Eric explained that he wanted to improve his defensive shooting confidence, tighten up his shot groups, and work around a physical limitation that made him question whether he could properly manipulate his firearm if he ever needed to.
That is exactly where one-on-one coaching matters.
We worked around the limitation, adjusted where needed, and focused heavily on building the right foundation. One of the biggest things we identified was recoil anticipation. Every time that anticipation started showing up, we slowed everything down and went back to dry fire. Dry fire became the reset button. And sure enough, every time he slowed down, reset, and fired that first round, it was right where it needed to be.
By the end of the session, Eric was successfully placing multiple rounds inside a 6-inch target and transitioning to smaller 3-inch targets while staying accountable for his shots.
Watching that progression happen in just one hour was outstanding.
This is why I always tell people: do not keep practicing bad habits. Repetition only helps if you are repeating the right thing. If you are struggling at the range, find a qualified instructor, get evaluated, and build a solid foundation from the beginning.
You do not have to train with Drop Shock Training Group, but please get proper training from someone who knows how to diagnose, correct, and coach you as an individual.
That is what this course is about: personalized feedback, real corrections, focused reps, and drills you can take home and continue building on.
Great work today, Eric. It was a pleasure watching your confidence and performance improve.
