How to Shoot Pistols Part 7 ~ Breath Control is NOT what you've been taught!
This video explains that proper breath control for pistol shooting is not about holding your breath, but rather pausing your natural breathing cycle momentarily during the trigger squeeze. Holding your breath can lead to hyperventilation, blurry vision, and muscle movement that destabilizes the firearm. The instructor emphasizes relaxation and natural breathing, suggesting a brief pause during the trigger pull is sufficient. For timed events, comfortable breathing is preferred over breath-holding to maintain sight alignment.
