This video from John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, addresses the common issue of improper trigger pull affecting 99% of shooters. He demonstrates the critical difference between a trigger 'pull' and a trigger 'press,' emphasizing that a smooth, controlled press is essential for accuracy, even more so than grip or sight alignment. The guide includes dry-fire drills using the HTS Dry-Fire Bullet Insert and live-fire examples to illustrate how a proper trigger press leads to tighter shot groups.
This video, presented by John the Firearms Instructor, demonstrates why 99% of shooters aim incorrectly and introduces the 6 o'clock hold as a superior method for pistol accuracy. The instructor emphasizes front sight focus and contrasts the 6 o'clock hold with a center hold, showing through live fire demonstration how the former yields tighter, more consistent groups. The guide provides actionable steps for implementing this technique to improve shooting performance.
This expert-level guide, presented by Firearms Training By John G. Johnson, details how to diagnose shooting errors by analyzing bullet impact points on a target. High impacts are attributed to improper sight picture (aiming center instead of 6 o'clock hold), while left impacts for right-handed shooters often stem from an underpowered grip with the support hand or 'nose over gun' technique. Corrective actions include adopting a 6 o'clock hold, a 60/40 grip distribution, and focusing on a proper trigger press.
This guide, drawing from an experienced instructor, breaks down the critical components of a proper trigger press. It emphasizes understanding the take-up, the smooth wall just before sear release, and the importance of a calm, smooth press during the 'moment of truth.' The technique is applicable to both single and double-action firearms, with specific considerations for revolvers.
This guide outlines a 7-day dry fire challenge from John G. Johnson, designed to enhance handgun accuracy without live ammunition. It emphasizes mastering trigger control through daily 10-minute sessions using specialized tools like grid targets and 'Tap Rack' inserts. The program focuses on identifying and correcting muzzle movement during the trigger press and practicing trigger reset.
John G. Johnson, a professional firearms instructor, details common reasons for missing shots, emphasizing the detrimental effect of rushing. He provides a step-by-step guide to improving accuracy by focusing on a proper thumbs-forward grip, engaging pectoral muscles, aligning with the dominant eye, and executing a slow, deliberate trigger press instead of a quick pull. This technique is crucial for new shooters to build a solid foundation.
