Frequently Asked Questions

How can I increase my pistol shooting speed without losing accuracy?

Focus on mastering trigger control and efficient trigger reset. JJ Racaza explains that resetting the trigger during recoil, rather than waiting for a click, allows for faster follow-up shots while maintaining accuracy. Practice at longer distances to refine this skill.

What is the most important fundamental for accurate pistol shooting?

Trigger control is a fundamental yet critical aspect. Precise control ensures accuracy, especially at distances beyond 7 yards. JJ Racaza emphasizes using the correct technique to avoid sacrificing shot placement for speed.

What is the difference between 'gun ready' and 'shooter ready'?

'Gun ready' means the firearm is mechanically prepared. 'Shooter ready' implies the sights are on target and the trigger is prepped. JJ Racaza advocates for being shooter ready and prepping the trigger efficiently during recoil.

Why is practicing trigger control at longer distances important?

Practicing at 15-30 yards is crucial because trigger control flaws that are masked at close range become apparent. This distance forces better technique, leading to improved accuracy and consistency overall.
