Quick Tip: Controlling the Wobble or Shaking Hands

This video by firearms instructor John G. Johnson emphasizes the critical importance of 'front sight focus' for new shooters struggling with pistol accuracy. He explains that the human eye cannot simultaneously focus on the front sight, rear sight, and target, leading to inconsistent groups when attempting 'target focus'. By concentrating solely on a clear front sight and aligning it at the 6 o'clock position on the target, shooters can achieve tighter groups and greater consistency.

This video details the 'Grid Drill,' a handgun training exercise designed to improve accuracy, trigger control, sight alignment, and transitions. The drill involves shooting at numbered targets called out by an assistant, requiring shooters to quickly acquire and engage specific points on a small target. Instructor John G. Johnson emphasizes the importance of a clean trigger press and proper body mechanics for transitions, offering this drill as a more engaging alternative to standard target practice.

This video explains the concept of 'calling your shot' in shooting, which is the ability to determine if a shot was good or not before it even impacts the target. It emphasizes observing sight position as the hammer falls and feeling the shot during the squeeze. The instructor uses this technique to analyze group consistency and confirm sight adjustments.

This guide details a CQB shooting technique using iron sights, focusing on aiming over the rear sight for improved speed and situational awareness. It explains how this method can naturally compensate for height over bore offset, a critical factor in close-quarters engagements. The technique emphasizes focusing on the front sight post for rapid target acquisition.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, outlines a comprehensive approach to improving shooting accuracy by integrating mental and physical control. He emphasizes slowing down the mind, executing shots smoothly, focusing on one aspect of technique at a time, and trusting the process. Key physical techniques include achieving a consistent grip, proper support hand pressure, a straight rearward trigger press, locking the wrist, and maintaining follow-through. The instruction highlights that accuracy is a system of mind and body working together for repeatable results.

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 guide details the front sight focus technique taught by Chris Sajnog, a retired Navy SEAL and firearms instructor. It emphasizes the importance of intense focus on a marked front sight post for achieving pinpoint accuracy, drawing parallels to Navy SEAL sniper training. The method involves creating a visual anchor on the sight and training the eye to ignore distractions, ultimately leading to effortless precision.

This guide details the proper pistol grip technique taught by retired Navy SEAL Sniper Instructor Chris Sajnog. It emphasizes treating the pistol as an extension of the body and achieving a solid grip to manage recoil effectively. Key steps include high hand placement, arm-to-barrel alignment, and proper support hand canting. Sajnog also debunks common myths about trigger finger placement and stresses the importance of 100% grip strength for consistent performance.

This guide details Chris Sajnog's approach to achieving accurate shooting through mastering front sight focus. It emphasizes training the mind to prioritize sight alignment and training the eyes to maintain a clear front sight picture, even against natural eye movements. Sajnog advocates for a Center Mass Hold for superior accuracy.

This guide, taught by retired Navy SEAL Chief Chris Sajnog, details the Modified Isosceles shooting stance. It emphasizes finding your Natural Point of Aim, utilizing bone support over muscle tension, and proper body positioning for stability and recoil management. The principles are shown to be consistent for both pistol and carbine use.
