Straight to the point explanation. Nice and short

To the point and yet very simply explained.

Best advice ever

Need more vidgets like this!!!

I do the opposite, like swing my gun to the other target first to the other target by my peripheral vision and then look and shoot.

Do you focus on your first target, getting positive targeting and ID, then draw and shoot or are your eyes off target as you draw and shoot, only focusing on the target when the gun gets there? Would that mean you're training/practicing two different methods of target acquisition and ID?

@@stansenter2660 in the past i did focus on the target first, getting a clear target and then draw and shoot but the eyes on the target dont come off when i shoot, (i play vr shooter games) from there i use my peripheral vision to target tranisition onto another target but my gun moves there first to the target then focus on the target then proceed to shoot. [so in the past i trusted my skills at the time of looking at a target without looking through any iron sights nor red dots in my vision, i had them only in my peripheral vision when shooting onto a target.] as of now i have started the traditional standards of shooting by focusing on the sights more and having the target be in my peripheral vision and it had some problems and now having to re-learn to shoot accurate.

How do you get such good first person footage?

So are you focusing on your front site just before you pull the trigger?

Depends on your distance to target, your skill level, and how you define "front sight focus". For instance, if you are shooting a drill like El Presidente, and shooting it fast, let's say seven seconds with all A-Zone hits ("fast" is relative, could be 10 seconds depending who is shooting) you aren't going too be doing the same hard, front sight focus you would if you were shooting for groups on a single target. Instead, you are probably using a sight picture split between the target and your sights (assuming you've developed a grip and stance that brings your pistol back to a firing position in a consistent manner). That sounds counterintuitive if you've always been told "front sight, front sight" but depending on target size and the quality of your grip/stance fundamentals, you don't need that hard focus, you just need to put enough awareness and peripheral vision on the sights to know that you have an "acceptable" sight picture for the target size you are shooting. In other words, hard focusing on the front sight is going to limit how fast you can transition. Something this video didn't mention is that--to give yourself as much time as you can for the things that matter--you need to get your finger back on the trigger and start pulling into the wall before you get to the next target. Should be obvious, but if you wait until your sights are on the next target before prepping the trigger, that costs you time. Check out Rob Leatham's Aiming Is Useless vid: kzread.info/dash/bejne/np1k1KmtiMuYY6w.html One last thing, at some point, assuming you've been training with the right grip and body position to effectively manage recoil/muzzle flip in a (consistent) manner you have to start "trusting your training" to realize your full speed potential. Another way to explain that -- If you are thinking while you are shooting, you are blocking your subconscious from both seeing everything that can be seen (like the acceptable sight picture while your are also looking at the target) and you are not letting your subconscious mind apply all of the skills you've developed that could be applied to each shot and the movement in-between. Note: Before you can access the skills in your subconscious, you have to put them there with enough quality reps. An example of the difference between using the conscious mind versus subconscious would be learning to ride a bike: I could give you explicit instructions as to how to rotate the medals, shift your center-of-balance, when to push up, when to push down, etc. I could even give you a more detailed explanation in terms of physics. But you aren't really going to be able to ride a bike until you stop thinking about the individual actions required and just start peddling, at which point, after a few spills, your subconscious takes over and off you go. Granted, shooting a pistol is a little more complicated than riding a bike because the bike isn't moving up and down as violently as a pistol, but that only means we have a few more basic skills to engrain into our subconscious (grip, recoil management, etc.) Once those skills are engrained, you can stop thinking about the individual parts and just let it roll (trust your training). A great book on this subject is Practical Shooting: Beyond Fundamentals, by Brian Enos. It's worth a read even if you aren't that into shooting, because the principles apply to high-level function in any sport...and life in general.
