About this video

McPhee outlines his two-day 300-yard shooting class curriculum, which begins with video diagnostics to identify body position and fundamental errors, progresses through zeroing and precision work on day one, and advances to speed and accuracy drills on day two. The goal is to enable shooters to engage steel targets at 50-yard intervals out to 300 yards in under 10 seconds by automating the shooting process.

Key takeaways

  • McPhee argues that most shooting misses stem from body position and fundamental gun handling rather than other factors
  • McPhee teaches a zero process called the ‘historical zero’ to dial in left-to-right precision for longer distances
  • McPhee emphasizes compression of target engagement time through speed drills, training shooters to react and fire once they’ve identified the target
