Tom Gresham's Gun Talk: 4.17.16 - Part B

This video addresses common issues in competition shooting, specifically inconsistent target transitions and follow-up shots. The instructor emphasizes associating cause with effect, urging shooters to analyze their sight movement, hand tension, and eye lead to diagnose problems like overshooting or 'bouncing' past the target. The core advice is to consciously get eyes to the next target before the gun and to avoid excessive muscle tension, particularly in the firing hand, during rapid fire.

This video addresses a common issue in competitive shooting: dropping points due to rushed target transitions. The instructor emphasizes that the problem often stems from not visually confirming shots and moving the gun too quickly. The core technique involves dry-firing with a deliberate pause on each target, focusing on the sight's position and ensuring both shots are completed before transitioning. This method aims to build better habits without sacrificing speed in live fire.

This drill, the 'One Shot Exit Drill,' focuses on precise single shots followed by immediate movement to a new position. It emphasizes efficient target acquisition, recoil management, and visual transition. The instructor highlights common mistakes like focusing on recoil instead of the bullet's exit and tensing up during movement, advocating for relaxed shoulders and leg-driven stops. The drill progresses from one shot to two shots for application in multiple-shot scenarios.

This video demonstrates three essential firearm training drills: the Ball and Dummy drill to identify and correct flinching, the White Paper drill to build trust in sight alignment and trigger control without a defined target, and one-handed shooting drills to prepare for scenarios where a support hand may be injured or unavailable. The instructor emphasizes controlled trigger presses, proper grip, and consistent sight alignment across all drills.
