Insight Firearms Training is proud to have had this Article on CCW Concealed Carry Published in the Concealed carry Magazine.
The Shoot, Don’t Shoot question is one of the core topics addressed in every self-defense class. Many instructors ask themselves how to communicate to students a clear picture of (1) When to use deadly force, (2) When to get involved in a situation that involves coming to the defense of someone else, (3) When they should carry their gun, and (4) Why it does not make sense to use deadly force to protect property.
For years I have tried to ingrain the laws and concepts of responsible gun-ownership and repeatedly stress the justification and implications of the financial and emotional costs of taking a life. Regardless of the teaching method used, the boundaries of when to or when not to escalate to the use of a firearm for personal protection is extremely difficult for many students to grasp. The numerous what-ifs combined with emotional issues, personal beliefs and values, and legal requirements, all seem to confuse the students. I searched for a magical spell that I could recite in class, one which would assist the students in resolving the complexity of making the shoot, don’t-shoot decision. I finally found a powerful visual image to simplify all the what-ifs and satisfy even the most difficult students. This is not intended to replace the block of instruction on the laws regarding self defense, firearms ownership, proper storage, and justification. It is a supplement that pulls all the information together and puts the concepts into an easy to understand format. Read more

Insight Firearms Training EliminatesThe Aversion To Recoil
Eliminating Recoil Aversion in Firearms Training is More Than Just Diagnosing the Symptoms, It’s ALL About Getting to the Root Issue!
By Matt & Sherrie Seibert
In Firearms Training we have all seen instructors utilize the shots on a student’s target to diagnose the common problem of having an aversion to the recoil of the gun. Generally instructors do a fairly good job identifying the physical manifestations that are causing the error but do not usually dig into the root of the problem. The correction of the symptoms never cures what’s ailing the shooter.
(In the example below it will be assumed that the gun is properly sighted-in, the student understands sight alignment, his dominate eye has been properly diagnosed, the gun fits his hand, his finger position on the trigger is correct, and he has the ability to achieve focal acuity on the front sight.)

Motivate New Recruits To Shoot Accurately “Instantly” With Insight Firearms Training
ABSTRACT SEQUENTIAL LEARNER
Insight Firearms Training – How The Brain Works Part 2
With, the “Abstract Sequential Learner”
the Left Side of Their Brain Processes Parts Better Than Wholes.
Cerebral Left
How Student’s Brain works is extremely important in Firearms Training. It works sequentially, processes words, grammar, syntax, and linear data. It is logical, orderly and proceeds step-by-step. This learner measures, memorizes, organizes, names, compartmentalizes, compares and will constantly be watching the clock on the wall. This learner wants schedules, predictability, organization, precision work and problems to solve. They prefer to work independently. Their strategy is both intellectual and rational; they need a sequential and structured approach.
This recruit needs the parts of the whole broken down and presented in a logical order. It is important to realize when you give the big picture of the process and your “Big Picture People” grasp the idea, your Abstract Sequential Learner students are “unable” to comprehend the material until the whole is broken into all its components and he can grasp the relationships.

How To Get New Recruits Motivated & Shooting Accurately “Instantly” Using The World’s Fastest Teaching Method (Part 1)
Discover the Newest Secrets of Firearms Training for Today’s Recruits!
Training your Recruits to Shoot with Absolute Precision Accuracy is Easy When you Understand How They Will Take in Information and Represent that Information in Terms of Their Behavior.
The instructional process for teaching someone to shoot can be broken down into two components, 1) the physical skills and 2) the mental skills. The physical skills make up 20% of the process and the mental skills make up 80% of the process. This article will assist you in understanding how your students’ minds work and give you better insight into reading your students. We will profile the different personality types and create several models that will assist you in accelerating your student’s learning process and improve your effectiveness as an instructor.
THE PROBLEM IS THE DIFFERENCE
The recruits of yesterday grew up hunting and fishing. In both activities their role was one of a predator. The recruits of today grew up playing video games. Even though they role play with a gun, it’s not the same as tracking, shooting a real gun, and gutting your kill. Many recruits entering an Academy today have never even shot a real gun. It is important to realize that the psychology behind the hiring process used by many police agencies appear to be more focused on hiring “Social Workers” not “Warriors”. The mind-set and motivation of today’s recruits are very different from years previous. The sophistication of the new recruits has changed. Most of the new recruits have been to college and their model of learning is incongruent with the paramilitary model. Using the “Drill Sergeant” approach and inducing stress during the initial phases of learning actually inhibits the learning process, retards retention of the material presented, demeans the student and reduces their motivation to excel or even want to shoot. In order to meet the needs of this new breed of officers, our teaching methodology must also become more sophisticated.
Your students don’t see the world as it is, or in the way you saw it when you entered the academy. They see the world as they are, based on how they process information and their own personal experiences.
Example: Three people witness an accident. All three will experience a different reality and respond to it differently. One person may be shocked by what they saw. Another may feel pity and be sympathetic to the victims. Another may feel angry that people aren’t more careful. The same incident makes people feel and react in different ways. We will illustrate how the way a student feels during the learning experience; will determine what and how much they will learn. Read more
