Demetrio Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 First the eyes, then the upper body, or what else? What's the correct technique to index the next target? Thanks, Demetrio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganShootist Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I would say--- First the eyes Then the head and upper body/arms - - - at the same time Lower body and legs-- only if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Stoeger Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 For me the trick is always to know right where that sucker is, and have it in your field of view if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ap3 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I like to look for the edge of the A box from the side I am swweping into, so that if I am really pushing the speed I don't over sweep. Oh yeah, and then shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree here the body will follow where the eyes go. Move the eyes first and the gun sights will follow to where your eyes are. Of course practice practice practice.

boz1911 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Anybody ever use the target stand sticks (visible below the hardcover)when a tight hidden target is coming up fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfish Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 snap the eyes to the next target as soon as you call the shot on the last target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 ..everything moves together.. the target challenge determines what you base your reliance on - your target, index or sights.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWLAZS Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I think the snap is the hardest part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Anybody ever use the target stand sticks (visible below the hardcover)when a tight hidden target is coming up fast? /Drift mode on: That works. I also try indexing off some the hardcover as I approach a hidden target. I try to "acquire the target" as early as possible, even setting up and mounting the gun before I see it. This is possible since I know from walking the stage where the target is, and have usually doped out a line of approach to the shooting point. I imagine that the cover isn't even there, and that the shooting point is just the optimal spot to take the shot (which is actually the case, since shots into hardcover are not likely to please the RO ).

benos Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 First the eyes, then the upper body, or what else?What's the correct technique to index the next target? Thanks, Demetrio. When indexing, the only thing that should move independently of your upper body is your eyeball itself. In a perfect world... You call the shot as acceptable as it fires. Immediately your eye swivels in its socket in to find the next target. Once your eye finds the next target, from then on it doesn't physically move. But your focus does, as it moves back from the target toward the front sight. So you will be focused on the front sight by the time the sights land on the target. During that entire time, your complete upper body stayed in your index position. Only the eyes move. (Okay, your trigger finger moves too.) be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikul Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Lots of people overshoot the target during the transition by trying to drive the gun quickly and stop dead when they're on target, but mere humans don't stop on a dime. We need a little time to stop which means that your shot is likely to land a few inches left or right of where it should go. Try to factor in a short space to decelerate before stopping within your target zone when shooting multiple shots on a single target. For single shots, you can be faster by beginning your trigger pull before you are actually on target. That latter technique has applications in shooting moving targets.
