Videos tagged with Dominant Hand Grip

This video provides practical tips for improving pistol grip for enhanced repeatability and minimal sight movement. Instructor Joe from Redbeard Shooting Solutions emphasizes the importance of grip structure, suggesting a bent wrist can be stronger than a straight one. He details how to apply pressure, particularly at the back end of the grip, and advocates for a firm handshake with the firing hand and more pressure with the support hand to control muzzle flip.

This guide details fundamental AR-15 shooting techniques for improved accuracy and control, as explained by an expert instructor. Key elements include proper stance, grip, rifle-to-shoulder contact, and avoiding common mistakes like the 'Detroit lean' and rifle cant. The instruction emphasizes a stable platform for effective recoil management and consistent shot placement.

This video provides essential pistol shooting fundamentals for beginners, emphasizing the critical roles of grip, sight alignment, and trigger control. It advises leaving ego aside to learn from better shooters and details proper grip pressure for both hands to manage recoil effectively. The instructor also explains sight alignment techniques for both iron sights and red dots, and the nuances of trigger control for different shooting scenarios.

This video from John G. Johnson's 'Tuesday Night Accuracy Hour' focuses on identifying and correcting common shooting errors. It details 10 'accuracy violations,' including grip issues, trigger manipulation, anticipation, and follow-through. The instructor emphasizes that accuracy problems stem from the shooter, not the firearm, and provides practical advice and drills to improve performance. Key takeaways include proper grip pressure, trigger control techniques, and the importance of dry fire practice.

This video by Ben Stoeger addresses the common issue of overgripping firearms, emphasizing consistent grip pressure over excessive force. Stoeger demonstrates how adding too much pressure with either hand can cause the sights to move, leading to a loss of sight awareness. He advocates for a firm but not overly tight grip, where the hand is connected to the gun without hindering quick movements.

This video by Ben Stoeger focuses on proper firearm grip technique, emphasizing the importance of establishing a solid connection with the gun rather than excessive force. He explains how to position both the dominant and support hands, detailing the optimal pressure to maintain control without hindering movement. Stoeger advises against over-gripping, suggesting a 'loose as you can' approach with the dominant hand while ensuring a firm connection with the support hand to create a unified shooting platform.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, explains that shooting low and left is primarily caused by improper grip, not trigger control. He details how to achieve a stable, controlled grip by aligning the firearm with the arm, using proper hand pressure distribution (40% dominant, 60% non-dominant), locking the wrist, and driving the weapon with chest muscles. The video emphasizes a 360-degree grip and proper thumb indexing to prevent muzzle flip and ensure consistent shot placement.

This video from Ben Stoeger focuses on developing a consistent grip for fast pistol shooting. The core principle is to maintain a solid connection with the firearm so it doesn't move during recoil, rather than simply gripping harder. Stoeger emphasizes that excessive grip pressure can be counterproductive, hindering quick hand movements and overall performance. He details proper support hand placement and the importance of consistent pressure from both hands, suggesting that allowing thumbs to float can aid in maintaining this consistency. The training drill involves rapid double-taps to validate grip effectiveness.

This two-day pistol class, led by Matt Pranka and Ben Stoeger, emphasizes process-driven training over outcome-focused shooting. Key takeaways include understanding how grip pressure and stability directly influence shot placement, particularly how excessive tension in the dominant hand can lead to trigger freeze and downward pressure. The instruction highlights the importance of consistency, stability, and durability in grip, advocating for a relaxed yet firm hold that allows for controlled recoil management and precise sight tracking. The course stresses learning to assess and correct grip-induced errors in real-time, applicable across various firearm platforms.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, details ten common pistol grip mistakes. He emphasizes the importance of a firm but not overly tight grip, proper hand placement, and utilizing the supporting hand for stability and recoil control. The instruction covers trigger finger placement, smooth trigger pull, and wrist alignment to maximize accuracy and weapon control.

This video introduces an inductive learning strategy for marksmanship, focusing on the dynamic nature of the pistol grip during shooting. The instructor emphasizes experiencing grip changes through practice rather than just theoretical discussion. Key takeaways include maintaining a firm but not overly tense grip, ensuring the pistol remains connected to the hand and forearm as a unit, and focusing on consistent sight return over aggressive recoil mitigation through body tension. The drill involves firing pairs of shots, observing grip adjustments, and understanding common shooting errors like pushing down on recoil or focusing on the wrong sight picture.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, demonstrates the proper grip for semi-automatic pistols to improve accuracy. He highlights common grip mistakes like the 'teacup' and 'crushed thumb' methods, explaining how they reduce control and accuracy. The correct grip involves seating the dominant hand high on the tang and fully engaging the non-dominant hand to create a stable platform.
