Rosshooting Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Guys, help me to clear out one thing. For fast transitions witch one is correct: to focus to the next target for a moment when you make a transition and then focus back to the sights or just to concentrate to the sights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 The first one sort of. Don't pick a target, pick a spot on the target. Your sight will magiacally appear once you focus on a spot you want to shoot. This can happen very fast once you get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
short_round Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 to focus to the next target for a moment when you make a transition and then focus back to the sights I vote for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 If you just focus on the sights...you will be slower...and less precise. You will be "searching". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Moneypenny Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Ditto on this one, look to the spot your want to shoot on the next target as soon as you have all the information you need from the last target SNAP the eyes. there. i f ind slwoing down plate rack drills helped me a lot.

Paladin Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Powerman: I presume you mean by fast transition not only getting the gun 'there', but mind, thoughts and intent as well and being able to fire almost simultaneously. Then 'focus' alone won't do it, there are even times when a focus is not needed. Suggest you do a search and read up on all the great posts on transitions here from the mechanics to above the mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 After each string ask yourself two questions: a. On how many targets do I remember seeing the target clearly before the sights got there? And not just a glimpse or "blur" of the target, but the A box itself (if close enough to see it), or the outline shape of the plate, or the center of the plate, or the exact center of the target. b. For how many shots do I remember looking right at the sights (target now peripheral) at the instant the shot broke? I'm not saying that we always have to do both, because especially with some experience we can hit many modern day targets without looking right at the sights. But it is not a bad thing to train and ingrain. Once you learn what it means to keep your eyes moving and realize the benefit that comes from doing it, you'll do everything faster and more easily because actions based in knowledge and experience are more effective than activity arising from confusion and doubt.

Duane Thomas Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I am with the other guys too, with a few exceptions. Okay, I'm dying of curiousity. What are the few exceptions? Enquiring minds want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
