This video from Tactical Performance Center, presented by Ross Christo, details a 'shooting on the move' drill designed to improve dynamic target engagement. The core principle emphasized is maintaining a stable shooting platform by minimizing vertical and lateral bounds. Key techniques include lowering the center of gravity, relaxing the lower body, and executing a 'cat step' where the foot lightly touches the ground before gradually transferring weight, preventing gun bounce.

Quick Summary

The 'cat step' is a key technique for shooting on the move, emphasizing lightly touching the ground without immediate weight transfer to maintain a stable platform. By lowering your center of gravity and relaxing your lower body, you can make your shooting platform glide smoothly, minimizing bounds and improving accuracy during dynamic target engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'cat step' technique for shooting on the move?

The 'cat step' involves lightly touching the ground with your foot without immediately transferring your full weight. This allows you to maintain a stable shooting platform and control your movement, preventing the firearm from bouncing excessively.

How can I improve my shooting platform stability when moving?

To enhance stability, lower your center of gravity slightly and completely relax your core, knees, and ankles. This allows your body to absorb movement more effectively, making your shooting platform glide smoothly.

What is the primary goal when shooting on the move?

The primary goal is to maintain a stable shooting platform that moves smoothly, akin to gliding on a rail. This minimizes lateral and vertical bounds, ensuring accuracy and control during dynamic target engagement.

What common mistake should be avoided when shooting on the move?

A common mistake is transferring your weight immediately upon touching the ground. This can cause the firearm to bounce, disrupting your aim. Instead, use the 'cat step' and gradually transfer weight.
