The hardest thing for me right now is pulling the trigger with no firing hand tension. It helped me to switch guns and practice on completely different triggers for a while. Trigger control at speed is the one drill I do 7 days a week. I’ve already corrected a huge amount of my low left syndrome.
I am still trying to fix this. Which mind process helped you to ease the tension of the right hand? Especially while you are at the stage, and adrenalin does its thing.
@@unibass Oh boy, this is nearly impossible to articulate in person with no time limit, let alone over the inter webs with just text boxes. You describe two issues here, the tension issue itself and the ability to engrain that issue into the sub-conscience mind. You gotta accept the routine of dry fire training-livefire testing-Dryfire-live-dry-live….this forever. It's an evolution. I suggest doing this drill dry(mostly) and live. Set a par for .4 at 10 yards with a black paster and strive for golfball size groups. Then make the drill slightly harder over time. Recently, I have fired more than 500 rounds on just this drill alone in the last two months. But in dry fire, Ive probably shot this drill 5000 times. My process at matches is to say the words “grip and spots". It's a final reminder at ‘stand by’ to remember that I need to relax my firing hand and find all the small spots on each target that I want to shoot. Join PSTG for more in depth discussion on stuff like this.
@@unibassIf you guys still care, are willing to spend the money/and or already own/train compete with a PCC, try starting your training session with it. I noticed that it relaxed me and my firing hand and I brought that type of pressure to the pistol.
@@joie0 Even only after 3 days of dry fire targeting the very basics + mental excercises to relax the trigger, my groups are getting much better with 80% left shots eliminated. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for putting this up on CZcams. Can’t wait to incorporate this in my practice tonight.
have to try this
Thanks for posting all these videos. Very helpful and much appreciated. I started practicing your concepts of target focus and trigger "slapping" (No staging, no reset riding). Also challenging me so it does not feel comfortable. I can say it is helping me improve speed and accuracy at speed. My problem right now is with the first shot. Always seem to pull it down. After that it goes relatively well, speed shots, transitions etc. I guess I need to do more dry fire with that press-shoot, but was wandering if you have any hints on probable causes.
I struggle with first shot push down as well. Seems to be related to acquiring my grip out of holster and is less likely if coming from low ready.
super importante tu aporte! sigo tus videos y los aplico rigurosamente, lo cual me ha permitido mejorar exponencialmente mi habilidad; actualmente mi mayor problema son disparos a metales ubicados a más de 20 yardas, fallo el disparo por que al presionar el gatillo la pistola se desvía hacia la izquierda (soy diestro) lo suficiente para errar el tiro, aplicare tu concepto para entrenar, y compartiré mi experiencia
I'm gonn try this next outing. Does that make sense? Lol
I’m an absolute beginner with less than 500 bullets fired so far. What you are teaching here goes against what I thought I had to do. I find that if I pull the trigger all the way through, without staging at the wall first, I see more muzzle movement. The same is true if I grip lightly. The only way I can isolate the trigger finger is if the other fingers are holding the gun tightly. I guess I need to practice this technique more?
You're not gripping hard enough with support hand
Highly recommend you buy his books Practical Shooting Training and Dryfire Reloaded. Also watch some of the classes he’s put on the CZcams channel for free. Take notes and start sticking to a dry fire routine. If you can practice 10 minutes a day, five days a week, for three weeks, it will become a habit.
That's because you're probably looking at it and have been taught from a bullseye shooting perspective. The techniques to hit bullseyes at long distances are going to be different than practical pistol shooting. This is more oriented to self defense type shooting where you're trying to shoot as fast as you can but still hold enough accuracy to hit vitals.
Are there any pistol shooting diagnostic/analysis target charts that are accurate or useful in your opinion?
The only diagnostic you need is whether your support hand is doing most of the gripping, and whether you're moving your finger straight back without disturbing the sights when you pull the trigger. If you master those two, everything else becomes self evident.
Training trigger finger isolation is excruciating lol
What slug product is that in the Glock?
If I had to guess, C&H. Taylor freelance has one as well.
Remember one important fact…there is No substitution for real world training.
What is real world training? Dry fire? A class? Live fire?
Uh…
