Videos tagged with Dominant Hand

This video demonstrates the critical impact of grip pressure on sight alignment. Instructor Ben Stoeger shows how adding tension to either the dominant or support hand can cause the sight picture to deviate significantly. The key takeaway is to maintain an unchanging pressure connection between hands and the firearm's frame, rather than relying on excessive tension to mitigate recoil. This drill helps shooters develop a feel for a consistent grip that promotes accuracy.

This guide details four advanced pistol grip techniques explained by a USPSA Grandmaster from Tenicor. It covers the 360-degree crush, horseshoe grip, pop the walnut, and push-pull methods, emphasizing how to manage recoil and enhance accuracy through specific pressure points and hand positioning. The instruction highlights that top shooters often combine these techniques to develop a personalized, effective grip.

This video from Ben Stoeger's channel focuses on managing tension and grip pressure for improved shooting performance. It highlights how incorrect muscle engagement, particularly in the back and shoulders, leads to binding and inconsistent shot placement. The instruction emphasizes using the correct muscle groups consistently, maintaining a stable connection to the firearm without overgripping, and developing an aggressive visual focus on the target for faster sight return.

This video by firearms instructor John G. Johnson emphasizes the critical role of a proper grip for pistol accuracy. He details common grip mistakes and demonstrates a technique that involves gripping high on the tang, utilizing both hands for 60% of the pressure with the non-dominant hand, and indexing thumbs forward. This method aims to improve recoil management, trigger control, and overall shooting stability.

This video from Ben Stoeger focuses on optimizing the firearm draw by emphasizing proper grip pressure and visual focus. Key takeaways include avoiding over-tensioning or under-tensioning the dominant hand during the draw, focusing on a smooth gun acquisition from the holster, and maintaining visual attention on the target area rather than the front sight during presentation. The instruction highlights how initial draw habits can cascade into performance issues, especially during live fire.

This video demonstrates a progressive return fundamentals exercise focused on improving grip and target acquisition under varied engagement lengths. Instructor Ben Stoeger highlights the common issue of increased hand tension when changing round counts and emphasizes the benefit of a loose grip for better gun tracking and faster splits. The drill involves reacting to a beep, varying shot strings, and aggressively engaging the A-zone, with a progression towards faster shooting if accuracy is maintained.

Ben Stoeger advocates for a relaxed shooting style over the 'push-pull' method, emphasizing consistency and predictability. He argues that minimizing arm tension and unnecessary muscle engagement leads to more repeatable shot placement and better recoil management. The core principle is connecting to the pistol through the hands, allowing the firearm to function naturally during recoil and return to the same point for subsequent shots.

This guide details the 'Push/Pull' recoil mitigation technique for pump-action shotguns, as demonstrated by SHORTSHOT TONY. It emphasizes proper grip and counteracting forces between the support and dominant hands to significantly reduce felt recoil and improve control during live fire. Instruction comes from an experienced shooter demonstrating proficiency and safety.

This video demonstrates the correct way to grip a handgun, emphasizing a high grip on the beaver tail and a firm, encompassing hold with both hands. The instructor stresses maintaining finger discipline by keeping it parallel to the slide until ready to fire, highlighting this technique as superior to common incorrect methods.

This video by John the Firearms Instructor focuses on the fundamental technique of achieving a proper pistol grip for pinpoint accuracy. It emphasizes picking up the firearm high, utilizing a 'two thumbs forward' grip, and distributing pressure with 40% from the dominant hand and 60% from the non-dominant hand to control muzzle flip and maintain a level firearm. The instruction is presented as a foundational element for all shooters, particularly beginners.

Ben Stoeger, a prominent firearms instructor, advises against specific hand strength training devices like 'Captains of Crush' grippers, citing potential for injury. Instead, he emphasizes deploying existing hand strength effectively by focusing on proper grip pressure and connection to the firearm frame, particularly with the support hand during dry fire. He suggests that issues with grip are more about technique than raw strength.

This video provides expert instruction on achieving a professional pistol grip, emphasizing proper hand placement for control and safety. The presenter, demonstrating high authority, debunks the 'teacup' grip and details the correct technique for both dominant and support hands, including thumb alignment and grip tension. Key takeaways focus on maximizing control and minimizing recoil through correct form, with a strong emphasis on trigger finger discipline.
