Videos tagged with Flinch

This video features Ben Stoeger, a USPSA Grand Master, discussing the necessity of ammunition for competitive shooting. He clarifies that while dry fire is crucial and can lead to GM classification, high-level competition requires significant live fire, estimating 20,000-40,000 rounds annually for elite shooters. Stoeger emphasizes that live fire builds confidence and hones skills like recoil management, which dry fire alone cannot fully replicate, though dry fire is more efficient for specific drills like target transitions.

Joel Park, a firearms instructor with extensive experience, details the 'One Shot Return Drill.' This drill focuses on observing sight movement after a shot to differentiate between a true flinch and natural recoil recovery. Park emphasizes that this drill is best practiced with live ammunition, as dry fire cannot replicate the physical recoil necessary for accurate assessment.

This video explains the flinch or anticipation response in shooting as a natural, protective reflex. It draws parallels to conditioned responses in animals, emphasizing that the explosion of a firearm is not a direct threat to the shooter's head, despite the instinctual reaction. Understanding this can help shooters avoid developing bad habits.

This YouTube video, titled "Crooks Was Not That Fast!", appears to be an episode from the "dangerouslibertypodcast" with a focus on topics related to firearms, speed, and perhaps defensive scenarios, indicated by the term "flinch". The description is minimal, but the title suggests a discussion or demonstration where the speed of criminals or the reaction time to a threat is being analyzed. The use of podcast and hashtags implies a spoken word format, likely discussing firearms-related events or concepts.

This short video from Tenicor discusses the mental aspect of shooting. It emphasizes the importance of mentally preparing for a 'click' during live fire to avoid anticipating the shot and moving sights prematurely, which leads to flinching and reduced accuracy. The technique aims to improve marksmanship by eliminating the anticipatory flinch. The video promotes Tenicor's products and social media channels.

This segment from Gun Talk Radio discusses the utility of pistol caliber carbines (PCCs). While acknowledging they are fun to shoot, the speaker argues against their use for self-defense, advocating for more powerful calibers like .223 Remington or a shotgun for significantly increased stopping power. The discussion also touches on the importance of live fire training for recoil management and trigger control.

This video explains how the 'primitive brain' causes flinching and recoil anticipation in handgun shooters, often misinterpreted as 'trigger jerk.' It highlights that this reaction is subconscious and can occur even without the finger on the trigger. The instructor suggests that focusing on trigger manipulation can be a diversion from the underlying flinch, and recommends the ball and dummy drill for shooters who aren't blinking, as it helps them see their gun movement.

This video provides an in-depth explanation of firearm recoil, its physics, and practical management techniques. The instructor emphasizes a progressive approach to training, starting with lower-recoil firearms and gradually increasing caliber. Key factors influencing recoil, such as firearm weight, bullet weight, powder charge, and butt pad design, are analyzed using a specific recoil formula. The importance of avoiding a flinch and developing proper shooting form is highlighted as crucial for marksmanship.

This video documents a personal experience at the firing range where the creator's performance is significantly impacted by illness, specifically pneumonia and a sinus infection. The description highlights a noticeable flinch and visual disturbances, emphasizing how physical health can directly affect shooting form and safety. Despite discomfort, the creator chose to share this "fail" to illustrate the connection between well-being and marksmanship, even admitting to being too stubborn to seek medical attention initially.
