jaysrgu Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have been developing a jump to beat the timer working on my dry fire practice through the winter season ,I start to move for the gun before the timer and feel all jumpy, i have just started practicing "The Set" and am still battling it, any helpful hints to overcome this?

Dr. Phil Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 does your timer have a "random" start feature? That will help stop the anticipation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax, and forget about the buzzer, by directing all of your attention on the calm but focused feeling you will have when the pistol arrives at your Index position.

jaysrgu Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 what is the index position? is that the calm feeling you feel before you start or after you have started and drawn the gun out to the first target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I found this from my notes on a previous post... "Turret rotation" means maintaining your "Index." Your Index is the totality of your upper body position, once your sights are aligned on the target. While shooting from a certain position, your Index should never change. Proper technique is a tremendous aid to performance. Practice learning the feel for the Index while dry-firing like this. Assume your Index. Take a moment to mentally scan your body from the waist up. Feel your upper body position as one whole unit. Now without thinking about anything, point your pistol at different objects around the room. Do this slowly at first, being sure to maintain the feeling of your immovable index as you move from target to target. To test your index's "immovablity," close your eyes, pivot to an imaginary target, then open your eyes and see if the sights are still aligned. If they are not, as you pivoted, something moved in your position from your waist up. If you want to solve a problem within a certain realm, if you start with what's most important and then work from there, you will improve as fast as possible. In this example, keeping your sights perfectly aligned with your eye as your upper body moves from target to target is paramount. If you do that, your body will sort the rest out without you having to think about it. In contrast, if you begin by wondering - do I pivot from my feet, my waist, or, will such-and-such technique be slower or faster, you'll never get to the bottom of the problem.
