AzNooB Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Doing Blake drills has helped me tons (dry fire first). In dry fire, I only keep my sights on target to get an acceptable sight picture for Alphas. It will decrease your transition times to almost the same speed as your splits. In live fire, push the speed past your capabilities until you start missing and then dial it back some for consistency. Riding that line is where you'll improve.

(Or just force yourself to shoot a cadence at .25 manually) 7yds. 3 Targets. A yard apart. bang bang bang bang bang bang No exceptions for moving the gun between targets. Fire the second round at that pace anyway, even if it’s a miss. Make yourself snap the gun. Learn to look away from the sights on round #2 and snap them to the new target. Then bring the gun to your eyes. In slow transitions the shooter is always swinging a full sight picture to the new location. Have followed this suggest and have noticed an improvement, thanks.

In slow transitions the shooter is always swinging a full sight picture to the new location. I call this driving the gun. I've been working on transitions too. Here's a video from Max Michel on using your body for transitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyGlock Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Without a metronome I silently count 1-6 (for 2 ea at 3 trgets) at the rate I want to learn to shoot at the time. Both in live and dry fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep614 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 As others have stated what has also helped me was trying to move to the next target close by off of the firearms recoil. Find it easier letting the recoil assist me rather then trying to fight it and get the line of sight back then switch it to the next target.
