Videos tagged with Support Hand Pressure

This video provides expert advice on achieving consistent grip pressure for firearms. Lead Firearms Instructor Joel Park addresses common issues with support hand pressure, emphasizing the importance of disconnecting hand pressures and focusing on one aspect at a time during training. He suggests dedicating dry fire sessions to perfecting support hand grip before addressing the firing hand, ultimately aiming for a balanced and controlled hold.

This expert guide from Tenicor details a critical AR-15 grip mistake that hinders recoil control. It emphasizes the 'grip and hang' technique, popularized by Frank Proctor, focusing on proper support hand pressure on the rail and a relaxed elbow to achieve efficient, linear pressure. This method is key for maintaining stability and reducing fatigue during shooting.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor from Cape Coral, Florida, breaks down the '10 Accuracy Sins' that hinder shooter performance. He provides 60-second corrections for each sin, focusing on practical techniques for trigger control, grip, stance, sight alignment, and follow-through. The advice emphasizes consistent practice, particularly dry-firing, to build muscle memory and overcome common shooting errors.

This video discusses the optimal amount of one-on-one attention students should receive in firearms training classes. The instructor emphasizes that while individual feedback is valuable, prolonged one-on-one sessions can detract from the learning experience of other students. Instead, the instructor advocates for a balanced approach that includes brief, in-the-moment critiques during drills and more comprehensive group discussions to address common issues, ensuring everyone benefits from the instruction.

This video from Tactical Rifleman features Joe from Redbeard Shooting Solutions providing essential tips on firearm grip and pressure for improved shooting repeatability. Key techniques include optimizing wrist and elbow positions for stability, applying consistent backstrap pressure, and understanding the interplay between firing and support hand grip. These methods aim to minimize sight movement and ensure sights return to the same point of aim after each shot.

This video provides expert instruction on rifle shooting techniques, focusing on establishing a consistent and stable connection to the firearm. Instructor Ben Stoeger emphasizes proper grip, stance, and presentation to minimize recoil influence and maximize accuracy. Key takeaways include the importance of the non-firing hand for control, setting pressures before the shot, and understanding the dot's tracking pattern for continuous improvement.

This guide focuses on optimizing firearm grip for improved repeatability and minimal sight movement. It emphasizes the benefits of a bent wrist over a straight one for structural strength and discusses the importance of pressure distribution between the firing and support hands. The instruction encourages experimentation to find what works best for the individual shooter.

This video provides practical techniques for assessing handgun grip and recoil control by observing muzzle movement relative to a reference line. It emphasizes the importance of consistent support hand contact and identifies common grip-related shooting errors, such as shots trending high-right or low-left, correlating them to specific grip issues like insufficient support hand pressure or excessive firing hand tension. The goal is to achieve a more concentric shot group.

This guide details advanced recoil management techniques taught by world champion Christian Sailer. It covers adopting an aggressive 'fighter's stance,' achieving a secure high grip with proper thumb placement, engaging the lats for stability, and creating a strong wrist lock. The instruction emphasizes support hand pressure for red dot tracking and hard target focus during rapid fire, drawing on expert insights for competitive shooters.

This guide details a crucial firearm grip technique taught by an expert instructor with 20 years of experience. It uses the 'crush the apple' analogy for the support hand to emphasize firm, consistent pressure, and the 'hold a banana' analogy for the trigger hand to promote a lighter touch. Mastering this grip is presented as paramount for shooting performance, regardless of equipment.

This instructional video explains how proper support hand placement and pressure are critical for preventing lateral firearm movement during shooting. By ensuring the 'hump' of the support hand is correctly positioned ('in the hole') and applying pressure upwards and backward, shooters can achieve a stable grip that resists unwanted deviation, even under significant pressure. Incorrect support hand positioning, either too low or too far forward, will cause the firearm to move in the opposite direction of the applied force.

Ben Stoeger, a seasoned competitive shooter, explains the critical concept of 'connection' when gripping a pistol. He emphasizes maintaining consistent, positive pressure with the support hand into the gun's frame to prevent movement during rapid fire. The video details how to identify a loss of connection, such as the trigger guard bouncing or the dominant hand tensing, and provides practical dry-fire drills to build this habit, ultimately leading to more stable and accurate shooting.
