Videos tagged with Center of Gravity

This video documents a USPSA shooter's experience at a match, focusing on mental approach and technical adjustments. Key takeaways include adopting a positive 'what to do' mindset, improving trigger splits, lowering the center of gravity for better movement, and maintaining momentum. The shooter also discusses strategies for engaging steel targets and efficient movement between shooting positions, aiming for consistency at a higher skill level.

This video features an expert discussion on three specific gripes with the AR-15 platform. The speaker, demonstrating deep knowledge of firearm mechanics and design, critiques the platform's caliber, manufacturing complexity relative to reliability, and the necessity of its buffer assembly. Despite these points, the AR-15 is ultimately lauded as a 'near perfect platform'.

This guide, drawing from the expertise of DJ Shipley and GBRS Group, details the 'half-gate' shooting stance. It emphasizes moving away from outdated, rigid stances towards a more natural, mobile posture that enhances stability and control. By lowering your center of gravity and employing a heel-toe walking method, you can achieve a more effective shooting platform for both pistols and carbines.

This episode of Team Glock University focuses on fundamental firearms movement techniques. Instructor emphasizes maintaining a low center of gravity, utilizing specific leg functions (load leg, brake leg, lead leg) for efficient transitions between shooting positions, and developing the ability to shoot accurately while in motion or upon entry into a position. The drills aim to build a stable shooting platform that allows for continuous momentum and preparedness for subsequent movements.

This GLOCK University episode, led by an experienced instructor, details techniques for shooting while moving forward and backward. Key principles include maintaining a heel-to-toe gait and using knees as shock absorbers for forward movement, and employing a toe-drag technique for backward movement to maintain ground contact and safety. The instructor emphasizes allowing optics to function naturally and correcting shooting errors by recognizing mistakes and adjusting technique.

This video from Team Glock University demonstrates the fundamental skill of shooting on the move. Instructor emphasizes dry practice to understand sight movement, maintaining a low center of gravity, and heel-to-toe walking. The drill involves engaging stationary and moving targets, with variations in movement aggressiveness to analyze performance and shot placement, highlighting the importance of task prioritization.

This training drill focuses on dynamic exits and shooting while rolling out of a stable position. Key elements include maintaining visual connection to the target, controlled shoulder movement to initiate motion, and disciplined trigger presses even when off-balance. The 'no-shoot' target emphasizes visual discipline during transitions.

This video details techniques for moving and shooting, emphasizing continuous motion and target transitions. It highlights the importance of managing weapon sway through biomechanics, such as lowering the center of gravity and narrowing the hip gate. The instruction focuses on maintaining focus on the target's A-Zone rather than solely on the optic's dot to achieve stable shooting while in motion.

This video focuses on improving recoil management through proper stance techniques. Myles explains how to establish an ideal forward center of gravity to effectively combat firearm recoil. The content is presented as a live-fire demonstration and builds upon previous lessons in a series, which are available in a dedicated playlist. The video also promotes Tactical Hyve's resources, including a free class on accurate shooting, upcoming training classes, and various recommended products like CCW Safe insurance, Dry Fire Mag, Mantis X10 Elite, NeoMag, Tenicor holsters, and Vedder holsters.

This video by Kit Badger demonstrates a fundamental shooting stance applicable to both pistols and rifles. The instructor emphasizes achieving a stable platform by dropping the center of gravity, creating tension in the legs to mitigate recoil and allow for dynamic movement. The technique involves a specific foot placement and body posture designed for optimal balance and control.

The Hornady A-Tip Match bullet was awarded Guns & Ammo's Innovation of the Year for its advanced aerodynamic design. By utilizing an aluminum tip, Hornady precisely manipulates the bullet's center of pressure and center of gravity relationship. This innovation leads to superior in-flight stability and improved accuracy, even at extended ranges, addressing inconsistencies found in traditional bullet designs.

This video segment from 'First Person Defender' focuses on the critical technique of purposeful movement to the rear during a self-defense scenario. Instructor John emphasizes maintaining stability and avoiding obstacles by employing a specific toe-heel footwork pattern. The goal is to create distance from a threat while remaining mobile and in control, a vital skill for survival in dynamic situations.
