TFB tries their hand at Out Shooting Keanu Reeves
A while back BuzzFeed Youtuber stumbled across a video of Taran Tactical training Keanu Reeves on tactical shooting for the movie role John Wick.
Buzzfeed tried their hands on gun shooting, they did ok (you can read about it below).
Fast Forward to Now
The Firearm Blog had heard what the Buzzfeed guys did so TFB decides, why not us?, But the differences is that TFB also wanted to create some shooting tips segments from Da Man himself "Taran Butler".
So TFB flew down to L.A. to meet with Taran Butler and have him train TFB. (which is James Reeves)
Taran quoted that he can train TFB (James Reeves) to fire 2 rounds at two targets in 2 seconds. James was skeptical but went with it anyway. (Hey, free training!) Something that stands out about this training is the fundamental that Taran advocates over and over, as these are the building blocks for whether youre into 3 Gun shoot or for self-defense. Here's some short takes on that training, but obviously, watch the video, its an eye opener:
-Drawing from the holster - Taran is very articulate about economy of motion from the draw to target acquisition.
-Reloading again its about economy of motion and doing things less, its all about saving time and being fast.
These two basics are the building blocks which leads to doing more advanced shooting as Taran describes. Read and see the footage of shoot like John Wick.
He is talking about from the holster. Depending on the distance, the Front Sight school in Vegas, for example, uses test times from .9 sec to about 1.8 sec for a controlled pair to the thoracic cavity from the holster and under a cover garment. That takes some practice to get to, and adding movement makes the shooting way less accurate. Its all doable with enough training/practice, but its not “easy”.
Ah, Riddick.
I didn’t say ‘easy’, I said not that hard. Besides, all w1n1 ‘Am Shooting Journal’ threads are more about making fun of the 8th grade level silliness of the ‘articles’ he posts, not serious discussion of the topic. 8~)
That was great...people are creative.
“Now that’s a quick draw!”
Not to mention...conserves lead.
Thank you. I didn’t know Nerf John Wick existed, and how much I needed it until just now.
