Does Strength Make You A Better Shooter on NOIR | Episode 11: NOIR's Strongest Man

About this video

Colion explores whether physical strength translates to better shooting performance by training with former NFL linebacker David Vabobora and bodybuilder Branch Warren. He reports on various drills testing balance, stability, and endurance, then analyzes how grip strength and muscle mass affected both rifle and handgun shooting speed and accuracy. Colion also reviews the STI Matchmaster race gun and continues his competition challenge against Lassort in stage three.

Key takeaways

• Colion demonstrates that strength helps with sustained shooting (Branch Warren showed less fatigue during extended rifle holds) and recoil management, but doesn’t necessarily improve speed or accuracy over trigger control and technique
• According to Colion, race guns like the STI Matchmaster require discipline to master—while they minimize recoil and enable extremely fast shooting, shooters must develop the skill to maintain accuracy at high speeds
• Colion argues that getting into and out of prone positions quickly can provide competitive advantages by offering stable shooting platforms that accommodate fast trigger work while saving time in transitions
