    Aiming???? thoughts on this video



    interesting discussion on shooting from rob L

    Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

    Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

    Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

    Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

    IMHO he's exactly right. Bullseye shooters need to aim "properly". Defensive handgun shooters need to quickly get rounds on target with combat accuracy.

    Dry fire practice for trigger control works wonders. Next is live fire exercises, and plenty of it. Comfortable and confident in your movements with the gun. Did anyone else notice how fluid his movements were in his gun handling? When you can manipulate the gun and trigger like that, then hitting your target with combat accuracy will be second nature.

    Your hands will point naturally where you look.

    Good video for new shooters. Practice dry fire, practice drawing and not sweeping your support hand or anything else, even from a low ready. Practice dry firing as the gun comes up. You never know if you will need to fire quickly at something that really close.

    Stupid people don't know they are stupid. Because they are stupid. They will follow evil geniuses and do their bidding, because they are stupid.

    Really super stupid people look up to, and follow stupid people like they were geniuses, because to them, they are. Unfortunately the reality of it is, that doesn't make stupid people any smarter.

    That right there is the root cause to most problems in the world.

        Sounded funny. What caliber was he shooting?

          My thoughts are that one needs to learn the basics of shooting small groups first, then you can work on speed. I see guys at the range that can barely keep their shots on a full size silhouette at 7 yards. That's not good enough.

            that is what he explains is wrong...

            if you can run the trigger without moving the gun, you will keep all shots on paper....

            Rob's view is run the trigger without moving the gun is important... precision shooting is not the starting point...

              Common sense.

              What is the point of aiming when as soon as the trigger is pulled the muzzle moves.

              The problem is that it is not common sense to most folks since they do not know that their muzzles do in fact move.

                Rob seems a bit annoyed or tired of teaching. Kind of worked up.

                Almost like “don’t you get it, why can’t you people understand…?”

                But yea, don’t flinch or jerk the gun.

                Basic.

                  Duh.

                  If you need someone to tell you this you don't stand a chance.

                    Rob seems a little cranky today.

                    But I'd say he's pretty right on.

                      Accuracy comes from trigger control.
                      The 'tighter' the shot placement as to be emphasis on Sight Alignment.
                      Lusie-gusie basketball size A-Zone shots at 4 yards emphasis is on Sight Picture.

                      I'm not hawking Nevada Condominiums and rocketship rides so what do I know?
