    Hi, Brantley I was wondering your reasoning for going with Glock over your CZ? Doesn't the CZ recoil less and have a better trigger?

    Close encounters of the third kind had me going till he was shooting beyond the expected pistol range for safe firing. Toss some targets down range on them long shots let alone any shots and let them be known as possible friendly fire then maybe people might be more precise. I’m no crack shot but make these shooting quals more responsive to objects down range.

    I think if you can “slap” your trigger without disturbing the sights, you can also “prep&press.” The opposite isn’t exactly true. Those that can only prep&press almost always have issues pulling straight through. Great video man!

    Get the gun to return after the shot consistently first, then play with getting the gun "flat". Keeping your wrist locked in will also help.
