Frequently Asked Questions

What is the key to shooting effectively on the move?

The key to shooting effectively on the move is to accept that your sights will naturally move. Instead of trying to keep them perfectly still, focus on keeping them within an 'accepted target zone' on the target. Good trigger control is also essential.

Why is trying to keep sights perfectly still detrimental when shooting on the move?

Trying to keep your sights perfectly still when shooting on the move is detrimental because it creates tension and hinders your ability to acquire a good sight picture. It makes the process more difficult and less effective, leading to missed shots.

How can I practice accepting sight movement?

You can practice accepting sight movement by intentionally moving your sights in a circular motion. This drill helps you become comfortable with the natural sway and movement of your firearm while aiming, making you more proficient in dynamic shooting scenarios.

Does the bullet always go where I aim when shooting on the move?

Yes, the bullet will always go exactly where it is aimed. The challenge in shooting on the move is ensuring that your perceived aim point aligns with the actual point of impact, especially when your sights are in motion within the accepted target zone.
