Why is looking out of the top or sides of your eyes detrimental to shooting?

Looking out of the top or sides of your eyes limits your ability to process visual information effectively. The instructor likens this to acting like prey, hindering your ability to acquire and engage targets decisively.

How should a shooter maintain their posture while aiming?

While aiming, your posture should be relaxed but energized behind the gun. This means not being overly tense, but maintaining a readiness to act and process information efficiently.
