    The first time I saw the 3D, got a bit dizzy.

    Glad that someone else spoke up.

    Thanks.

    the secret to recoil control?

    in Handgun Techniques

    Posted

    OM517> Watch your slow motion video and how the gun shifts in your support hand while the support hand is stationary. The gun shifting under your hand is a direct result of not enough grip pressure on your support hand. This is also why the grip on your support hand fails and you have to regrip the gun.

    Others have already mentioned the head position issue. Use a normal head position as if you were talking to someone during a conversation. Then simply bring the gun up to your eye without bobbing your head down to the sights. There is no need to hunch over or duck your head down to the sights.

    Look at my head position in this slow motion video of me shooting three different Limited guns with 170PF Major ammo.

    Great video.

    Need to share this one with my girlfriend.

    Welcome.

    I spent my high school years in Prince William County so I guess we qualify as neighbors.

    All the best, and good shooting.

    Yep...

    Pretty close.

    Thank you and great shooting to you.

    2 tablespoons dish soap and a teaspoon of lemishine works great for me.

    Saw this recipe the other day I might try

    2 tablespoons of Dawn dishwasher liquid (chloroxylenol)

    1 tablespoon of Trisodium Phosphate

    1 tablespoon of Oxy Clean

    1 teaspoon of Lemishine

    Interesting recipe.

    Thanks

    Given your places, it sounds like you have the basics. For practice, I'd do several things. First, you need a practice schedule. There are lots of ways to build this. Take this with a grain of salt. I'm a better internet commando than USPSA shooter. I write it off to talent. Practical shooting is like touch typing or playing a musical instrument. I'm not good at either of those either.

    1. If there is someone local who teaches USPSA basics, take the class. This should help with foundations and make sure you're not missing anything big.

    2. In matches, try to shoot with people who are better than you are.

    3. Have a regular practice schedule, based on your goals and weaknesses. Weaknesses can be analyzed from matches and from practice with a timer.

    • Probably the best, overall, practice book is Ben Stoeger's "Skills and Drills". Not only does he lay out drills, he gives goal times to help analyze weaknesses.
    • I would add Ben's Practical Pistol and "Dry Fire Training: For the Practical Pistol Shooter". (You can get all of these as a combo from the Ben Stoeger Pro Shop)
    • To get an alternate perspective, I'd also get Steve Anderson's "Refinement and Repetition".

    My personal practice schedule is focused on classifier skills. I'm usually top one or two Production Seniors at my monthly club match. I typically shoot about 65% of the local grand master on field courses and tank the classifiers. So my focus is on classifier type skills. M-F, I dry fire 20 to 30 min on Classifier supporting drills. Saturdays and Sundays, I back the cars out of the garage and work on stage skills and movement. I get to the range for a match or a practice once a week. Range practice is classifier focused.

    4. My weakness is my mental game. Part of my problem with classifiers is that I go zero or hero and get zero. I shot one the other day that would have been about 70% if the one no shoot had been an A instead. Books that help this are:

    • "With Winning in Mind", by Lanny Basham. I've read this once and it didn't sink in. I usually read stuff on a Kindle. I just bought one hard copy to make marking it up and finding things easier.
    • "Practical Shooting: Beyond Fundamentals" by Brian Enos. I've read this one 3 times. Some of it I get, some I don't. Some people recommend this as a first book on practical shooting. Some people think it's the path from A class to Master. I will read it again soon.
    • Keep going on Steve Anderson's books and listen to his pod casts, especially the old ones.. His concepts of Training mode and Match mode speak to me, though I haven't been successful in developing the proper match mode.

    One last comment supporting dry fire. Everywhere I look, the top shooters talk about dry fire. I think most of them get in the vicinity of 4 to 5 trigger pulls of dry fire for every round fired at the range. For us weekend warriors, trying to improve, I think the number is more like 6 times. I can find 20 min a day to do the drills. Finding 3 hours to drive to the range, set up targets, tape targets after each run, clean up the brass... is harder.

    Quoting this to come back for a list of things to do as well.

    Thank you.
