One way I learned to avoid flinch/anticipation and be able to concentrate on just grip and trigger pull (especially in indoor ranges with multiple shooters), is to double up on my hearing protection. I started wearing shooters ear plugs with memory foam with high decibel protection ear muffs. Aside from greatly protecting your hearing, you can easily get used to the recoil of any firearm by trying to eliminate the auditory distraction and be able to concentrate on accuracy and the tactile feedback of the machine on your hand. You will start to feel like you are just operating a machine instead of setting explosions in your hands each time you pull the trigger. And you will get there much faster and with lesser ammo count.
Great tip Im going to try this!
That's a great advice, I heard that from TheHumbleMarksman and tried it at my last indoor range visit and it helped me a bit for sure. 👍
one thing that helped me was to dry fire after a few live fire mags and that seemed to retrain my hands to not move involuntarily
After hearing this, I'm wondering if my in ear, earbud headphones will work for the same principal (without them on)... because I don't have in ear, foam ear plugs as I need more money first
But on the other hand you have to remember what you are training for. In a real life situation if you are trading fire with a threat your not going to have that double ear protection to help you concentrate. When you are at the range for training purposes your are supposed to put yourself in uncomfortable situations (ofc while following the safety guidelines) but you should train to be ready for whatever whenever you can’t rely on range equipment if that’s not something you’d typically have in real life situations… just my opinion 🧏🏾♂️
Most underrated and most professional channels ever.
Oh, just give it a min, they haven't been around as long as some others.
Also “Mr. Recoil” is so going into my personal vocabulary when I talk shooting with friends. 😎
You have to say it with the accent.
A good way to practice this at the range is with a revolver, using a random mix of live rounds and dummy rounds, so you don't know if it's gonna kick or not. Thanks for the video!
That's a very good idea, thanks 👍
I did well with the pistol and the laser but not the other one. Most of my problem waa wrist and recoil so practice will help
Beginner here, this was 100% my problem when I thought it was the gun's accuracy.
Thanks for the professional quality tip!
Really really good drill. Much easier to deal with than snap caps too.
Great clip on managing recoil!
I overcame the recoil anticipation/flinch/jerk by amping myself up. More specifically…I think about being threatened or someone threatening my family. May seem counter productive…but when doing this I find that I go into “survival mode” and stop thinking and react so to speak. Basically I was amped or “pissed off” to the point where I didn’t care about recoil and was focusing purely grip/stance/alignment and everything else fell into place. Works for me and may or may not work for others…figured I would throw it out there. Good video as always. Be safe fellas!!!
After not going to a range for longer than 2 months I was developing the recoil anticipation BUT of course I realized i was doing it after a while and so I focused more on isolating the trigger pull. Thanks for posting this video. It’s a quick reminder to me that recoil anticipation will in fact cause me to shoot low. It will also remind me that if In anytime I go with someone else to the range, and they shoot low after establishing proper sight alignment then they are anticipating recoil. Again, thanks.
It's refreshing to see someone who understands biophysics and the natural and instinctive motions we make during repetitive motions/actions and skills execution. W e worked on these same drills, including for rifle, when I was an up and coming shooter by my father (ex-navy WWII commando) and a good instructor when I was in the service. The simplest things can lead to the biggest frustrations when we don't understand them.
Relaxing and not physically anticipating something, anything including actions in competitive athletics is tougher than we think because it is such an instinctive thing.
The Hive is the place to be for the very best professional instructions and tips.
Great video 👍👍
Tactical Performance Center delivers. Glad to see more here and on the TPC channel. That momentum managment video from Ron was really great stuff.
My best learning was from a rare book for instructors (shooters too). "Beyond the Muzzle: The Firearms Instructor & Shooter Development Guide". I forgot the author. A Google search will find it. Some of the items in this video are in the book. This material changed the way I think of gun fighting. Before I was training to shoot, today I'm training for defensive fighting. Nice quality video.
I have the flinch issue right now. Looking forward to the follow up video. Thanks guys.
What great video. Makes total sense.
Good stuff. I always appreciate when the Key Points are clearly laid out so that I train and critique myself better.
This video has an interesting point about trusting the body. I try not to anticipate as much as I could, but I catch myself clearly doing it sometimes. I always wonder if there is something my body isn’t doing correctly enough, so subconsciously I feel the need to use anticipation to stay in control.
Very good training sequence. I’m not an instructor but have been looking for ways to increase my daughter’s accuracy and confidence in her stance and grip so that she can rely on her sight alignment via her eyes. She shoots really well but I’m giving her a little force in force training. I’ll use this technique here and see if this helps her.
Looking forward to downloading the target. Always love this channel for the tips
It's like y'all are making videos just for me. Will definitely apply these lessons at the range this week. Thank you!
This is my biggest problem shooting. Great topic!
Excellent again.. Thanks Myles and Ross!!
He's got some awesome practice techniques to improve accuracy.
Great advice thank you for the effort to make and post this.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXTREMELY HELPFUL VIDEOS!
Great video and clear and easy explanation. Thanks guys!
I personally like to induce failures using dummy rounds (randomly) when trying to fix antsipation or flinching. I think there is some merit to 2 second limit when firing the second shot however I think that still leaves room for the person to 'antispate' the hammer just dropping thus not getting the unwanted antsipation / flinch.
Thank you for the training and targets. Cant wait to try this on monday.
This is the first video in a while where they taught and instructed to do a more aggressive stance almost like a mix of modern shooting stance and early to mod 2000’s stance
Very clear explanation and demonstration 💪🏼🇺🇸
Very nice video Myles and Ross .. Thanks from Italy
Awesome video. Thanks! Ill be practicing this drill!
Excellent info!! Will for sure run this drill.
Excellent stuff, going to pass this knowledge on.
Perfect exercise! Tks!
Very helpful
In my opinion the best way to correct flinching problems is to regularly dry fire
Brain Training!! I love it when it all comes together. 👍
Anticipation and recoid reaction are the number one most overlooked things effecting most shooters I know, when it comes to accuracy.
I deal with recoil anticipation flinch and I'm a really nervous person some literature from Chuck Pressburg has helped me out a lot!
Awesome tips tyvm.
Thanks.
An excellent video.
Newbie here, so half on black, half down right. I can give up anticipation only when fed up and say to myself "screw it, damn!" then i'm decent at most. So this video is waaaaay usefulf.
When are you guys gonna get the shop back up? I’d love a TH hat. Or are we supposed to go somewhere other than the TH site?
The shop is down??? Was gonna buy some merch.😯🤯😫
Whenever possible I warm up with a .22
One step better than dry fire alone bc there is the bang, and there is a bit of recoil.
Has helped me a lot! And ammo is cheaper
Shooting a handgun is similar to hitting a golf ball. You know exactly what to do, but the execution is not that easy. Great practice produces great performance!! 🎯
Tremendous tutorial 👌
new shooter trying to overcome anticipation.
When I was young I shot a 44mag a few times and it built a bit of hesitance in me.
I use a two man flinch drill. Two people, the shooter and the loader, work together. The loader will load the weapon, while NOT being observed by the shooter. The loader will determine at random if a round gets chambered or NOT chambered. He then hands the weapon to the shooter who will aim and fire, not knowing if it's actually got a round in the chamber or not. If he has a flinch, and there is no round in the chamber, the flinch will be clearly revealed. KNOWING you are flinching is the first step toward getting rid of the flinch. Repeat this drill a number of times during each shooting session.
Great video
Great Drill
Got the Rock your Glock presision compensator so recoil and flip is really gone on my g2c also have ADE Green Dot sight 3 moa. Sight weight comp flat shooting tack driver
Thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for the "Super Thanks" donation! We appreciate it!
I also have a friend mix in dummy rounds.
Do pro competition handgun shooters use sandpaper gun grips like "Handle it' or another brand or do they use just nothing added on the grip?
That's a nice example of an anticipation drill. It would have been nicer to have seen it with a novice shooter with anticipation issues. We all know Myles is pro grade.✌🏾
The real question is, do you dip before or after you break the shot. If after, your shooting will be fine.
What you think is after is (probably) actually during.
I love your videos I didn't know that Glocks came in orange
To see a side by side comparison of a Rookie shooter against a veteran would be interesting
I would like to see this demonstration with a new shooter
Wow
I practice this drill, however the brain starts to learn the 2nd shoot has no recoil and you won’t flinch. Have a buddy load up a mag alternating live and snap cap rounds at random then try it….you’ll be very surprised how fast that flinch comes back when you don’t know if the next shot is a bang or click. If it’s too easy - upgrade to a more powerful round and try again.
Try to break the second shot faster, within 2 sec. par and if you have a tendency to anticipate you will see it manifest.
Dry fire. A lot.
I definitely struggle with this. Is there a link for printable target?
You can find it on tacticalperformancecenter homepage under 'shooting lab' and 'tpc targets'.
They got more drills and imo lots of realization videos on their youtube channel (TPC).
Painters tape may work
LowLeft is not a choice, it’s a lifestyle. Embrace the suck, blame the gun always. Inform the shooters around you about your eye surgeries.
Did not expect that voice.
Slap like now!
50/50 drill
The Recoil is easier to deal with you just use it to roll through your hands elbow and body but the anticipation yeah that's a little trickier
You can't ever completely eliminate recoil anticipation, but you can reduce the effects of it.
🔫whew! very technical… 🥼
What happened between 7:03 and 7:15? An extra bullet hole, the lowest one, appeared out of nowhere.
Cut out an extra ‘good’ rep.
@@TacticalHyveOk.. Makes sense now.
Myles is a beast and stared a hole through it lol. I was thinking the same.
Is that Adam Sandler in Disguise?
😂😂😂
I have a solution to this. Reload 1000 rounds and bang them out over 3 weekends at the range . Problem sorted.
When you are defending your life you are not in a controlled environment and will not have the luxury of ear and eye protection. Should you practice LIVE fire without these safety measures?? (well, at least cover the eyes).
Seriously....has anyone fired a weapon at the range without hearing protection??. A gun being fired in close proximity will make you flinch. How do you prepare and/or train for that??
Rob Leatham disagrees…
Instead of trying not to anticipate the recoil, learn to ride it out and time it better. The whole "be surprised by the shot" is nonsense. Especially when you're shooting quickly(which you will be 99% of the time in a real life pistol engagement), practicing this slow fire squeeze the trigger stuff is pointless. Learn how to pull the trigger quickly, learn how to keep the gun on target, learn how to anticipate the shot PROPERLY and keep it from moving that way. Shooting a pistol fast is different from shooting a pistol slow... So practice shooting it fast.
Also, I'm always a bit wary at stuff like the instructor slapping the front of the gun to simulate recoil. Yes, it sort of simulates what makes the gun do, but it's easy to not anticipate when you've got an orange gun and someone is slapping it. I'm just not sure that it translates to good training or effectiveness in real world shooting. Maybe I'm mistaken. But imo all it teaches is how to keep a fake gun still while someone slaps it around a bit.
oooh maaan come on bro, I always loooove your videos. This last recoil anticipation looks just fake...to display it for the video. You wouldn't have anticipated normally. also, when u already know there's nothing in the chamber you don't anticipate while pressing the trigger. sad to see this
next video will be good again I hope
Yes, it's done on purpose to show the fault. If he didn't induce it, there would be no way to show the anticipation in the video.
Just stop.
