INSIGHT SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Dear Fellow Firearms Instructor,

For the record, there are so many myths, and hype regarding firearms training it's hard to tell what's real and what really works. I've been a professional firearms trainer for over 35 years.  I've had the privilege of being a former Law Enforcement Officer, and a Firearms Instructor & General Manager and for Gunsite Training Center, and I feel I can speak with some authority on what really works on the street and in the field.  I would like to make something very clear: " I don't know it all and I don't have all the answers,!" What I am sure of is that we have developed a revolutionary new teaching system that will give anyone the ability to shoot with absolute precision accuracy starting with their very first shots and more importantly the accuracy will transfer the street.

For the Record: The Goal Is NOT To Shoot 1-Hole Groups On The Street.

The goal is to be able to place an accurate shot on demand under extreme conditions. What is an accurate shot? Shooting an accurate shot means that you are able to make a perfect headshot. If you look at the studies on terminal ballistics, the only way you are going to assure a one-shot stop is to get the bullet to midbrain or sever the spinal column. It's important to realize, that now anyone can now buy body armor, so one of the best ways stop a threat "instantly" is to put a bullet in their Snot-Locker. Just punching holes in someone may bleed them out, but can take up to 7 minutes from a major artery.  It's important to realize that it only takes the perpetrator 4 seconds to empty a 15 round 9 mm magazine. That means that if you have the time to pull the trigger, so does the perpetrator. Every time you miss, or fail to get the bullet to the spinal column or midbrain you potentially put your life in jeopardy and you could be sucking up bullets.

Why then, do we at Insight Firearms Training Development feel it's important to shoot with precision accuracy (1-hole groups)?  Because: If you can't put your shot exactly where you want it to go in a sterile controlled environment such as the range in slow fire practice, you've got a snowball's chance in hell of being able to place an accurate shot on the street when somebody's trying to kill you.

If you look at the studies of what creates muscle memory, it's all about myelination.  Myelin is an insulating fiber the wraps around the axons in the brain and creates clear neural connections making up neural pathways that create precise motor movements. It's myelination that creates muscle memory.  Every time you repeat a task, it needs to be done correctly especially during the initial phases of learning. If the shooter is allowed to shoot inaccurately, he's only conditioning inaccuracy! It's perfect practice that gives you perfect performance.

For the Record: The Goal Is to Succeed, Not to Fail.

Success Breeds Success!  We as instructors want to create the belief in our students that they can do it. Once they have that belief; that means they have confidence. Confidence is the motivating factor driving them to want to test their skills in more complex challenges. This doesn't mean that they will never fail or miss, for there is no such thing as failure. There's only feedback!  It's through that feedback, that they learn how to adjust and make corrections in their visual skills, biomechanical skills and more importantly, their ability to control their minds so they can control their emotions. If their emotions are out of control, their visual skills and biomechanical skills are going to be out-of-control. This means that their accuracy is going to be out-of-control.

When we progress into more difficult drills and exercises, one of the things we do to create a positive learning experience is to "give ourselves permission to make a mistake and miss." This becomes extremely important once they develop the skill of shooting with precision accuracy, for there is the tendency to take too much time to release the shot, out of fear of it not being perfect.  By giving "permission to miss", this creates the frame that it's okay to stretch the envelope beyond what they currently believe their level of control is at that point in time. This also gives them the opportunity to learn how to back down a notch, and know what it feels like to gain control and enter the zone of peak performance on demand. It is in creating contrast where the student learns what it feels like to be out-of-control and learns what they have to do with their mind to gain control.  As you know, if you shoot too slow in a gunfight, you are going to get shot! 

To assist the student in the learning process in stretching their envelope, we create the context using a story of how professional runners will run downhill to force the synapse in the brain to fire more quickly so that the runner can keep their balance. We then set the frame for the relationship of speed in the brain by creating contrast of what it feels like to drive a car at 90 miles an hour on the highway for a period of time, and then have to slowdown to 55 mph, and what that feels like. This speed and time distortion in the brain takes place because the brain was initially forced to stretch itself beyond its comfort zone, and what became comfortable at a high rate of speed then became uncomfortable at a slower rate of speed. We use reactive pop up / falling plates with limited time exposures of 50/100th of a second to help push the shooter's envelope. This forces the brain to recognize the front sight as a stimulus for a conditioned response on the trigger. Because we've already programmed the proper trigger compression skills, the same muscle fibers will fire, but at a much faster rate allowing the shooter to maintain the same accuracy at reactive speeds. We then take it a step further into force on force engagements.

For the Record: Precision Accuracy Can and Will Transfer to the Street.

If the proper foundation has been set, and the visual, biomechanical, and emotional state related skills have been programmed to the unconscious, we will have created a map in the mind for the body to follow. This entrainment through recursion becomes the deepest and most conditioned map in the brain for the body to follow.  The body will follow that groove much like flowing water will follow the path of the river. One of the necessary components is to generalize the skill into a multitude of contexts by engaging the shooter in different scenarios so the landscape in the mind matches the landscape of the street. By utilizing a progressive methodology that engages the shooter in conditions that simulates the street, we can generalize the context and the skill to achieve peak performance in any environment.

We have found that one of the most powerful ways to do this is to engage in force on force training in combination with a formal hypnotic induction. The key to peak performance is state-based training. It is the power of hypnosis that allows the shooter to create, and manage their emotional state within their imagination that allows the skill to be generalized into any context.  As instructors, we are not always privileged in knowing our students deepest fears and what would create their "hell on the street". Through hypnosis and the use of generalizations, nominalizations, and presuppositions we can linguistically guide our students in trance through this hell and give them the opportunity to emerge victoriously. This creates confidence and a deeper and more powerful learning experience so the skill will transfer to the street and on the field in battle.
