Dave Sevigny shooting some IDPA drills

Here’s some things we can learn:

• Look at Dave’s forearms. Notice all the muscles? Yes, grip the gun hard.
• When reloading, notice Dave brings the gun in, keeps it high, and his eyes shift to focus on what he’s doing (e.g. looking at the magwell).
• When shooting on the move, knees are bent, feet are rolling. In addition, his lower body is oriented towards his end destination (hips square to it, toes pointed at it), his upper body then rotates like a turret to engage the targets. Doing this allows you to move quickly with less chance of tripping.
• When shooting one-handed, the other hand doesn’t dangle. It’s in a well-defined location on his chest/torso.
• Also when shooting one-handed, easiest to see when Dave is shooting with his left hand, notice the position of his thumb? Contrast this against the thumb(s) position when shooting two-handed. Yes, curl the thumb down, like making a fist; you’ll have a stronger grip.
• To go fast, you have to move fast but also efficiently. Dave has no wasted motion.
