Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Actually, now that you say something, it is on the edge. Ill get that brought around, and im going to try to get my wrist more behind as well. Thanks for pointing that out @beerbaron
  2. Yeah sorry about the lack of glasses! I completely understand this isn't going to happen over the internet. Ive beem recently searching for someone reputable that will offer classes around me and i am going to try to make that happen when time and funds allow. I should have picked up knitting as a hobby hahaha. Thanks a bunch man. In the meantime, i will focus on grip training and stance.
  3. Ok i tried getting more upright but everything seemed to be worse. Idk...my knees are bent and my weight is on the balls of my feet. My support hand is not slipping and im gripping the snot out of the gun and the sights are comming rught back but as far as managing the recoil...well not so much. It just seems my strong side is still giving too much and i cant seem to get it to stop giving. Elbows are not locked. Or is it something im not seeing? I ducked my head again, i know, but it seemed like i had to do that to really get behind the gun. Every other video i have watched, the shooters strong side wrist seems way more solid than mine. It seems like it starts at my wrist and just whips on down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHcF4bVRtQQ Again, any help at all is appreciated, and i just noticed i wasnt wearing eye protection, so sorry. Forgot they were on my head.
  4. Funny thing you mention that IDescribe because i noticed that same thing in rewatching the video earlier today. My body seemed to be taking a lickin. To be honest, i was prolly just standing there like i would if I were standing in line at the DMV or somethin...im pretty much 99% sure my elbows werent locked, as i have never done that. I just really need to pay more attention because I don't get to do this as often as i need to. Thanks guys!
  5. Thanks to all for the help. I dont know why i got in the habbit of havin my head ducked down... And thanks CHA-LEE for the video. That helps to clarify stance, posture, and the fact that i need to tighten my grip and wrists. I tried the stance after i read your responses and I will admit that it feels pretty awkward. But thats to be expected being that i have never really practiced or shot that way. Im also thinking about getting a dyno mainly because i am curious as to what i have as far as grip strength. Hopefully i will be able to get more videos up for further critiqe. Thanks again!
  6. New here so hello everybody. I just introdeced myself in the introduction forum. This is a topic that ive had a lot of interest in and something that i struggle with. When i shoot, my elbows are slightly bent, torqued in, and a very firm grip. My stance probably needs fine tuning which i can work on through dryfire which i do roughly 5 times a week at about 30 minutes per session. The first video is normal speed and everything looks decent I guess. Second video is slo mo and it definitely shows room for improvement. Please give me ur worst! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J3GXIvpd3sM https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S5POUv4W91c
  7. Thanks for all the love! Mainly i only shoot handguns and bolt rifles. If your talking in terms of competition, i dont. I really want to get into competition, its just hard for me with my life at home and a new born;)
  8. Im just starting now to really see my sights and in doing so has really helped my shooting. Not really concerned about going fast right now but mainly shooting when i know where my sights are. Calling my shots i guess
  9. Hello from SC. Not really new to handguns but I'm just trying to bemore serious and productive with my very limited range time (I have a new-born). Trying to take my training more serious and pay attention to what im doing while im shooting as apposed to just numbly blazing through rounds. I have been browsing the forum for roughly the past year off and on gaining a lot of information just by reading. I now however have a question about recoil control that i will be posting in one of the existing threads as well as attacting a video once i figure out how to do that. So i will thank you in the forum for the information thus far as well as for the help in the future. I look foward to it! -Daniel
