Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key fundamentals for improving handgun accuracy?

According to instructor John G. Johnson, the core fundamentals for accuracy are a solid grip, proper stance, precise sight alignment, and controlled trigger manipulation. Neglecting these basics is a common reason for poor shooting performance.

How often should I practice dry fire for better shooting?

John G. Johnson recommends a consistent dry fire practice routine, suggesting a ratio of five dry fire trigger presses for every five live rounds fired. This repetition helps build muscle memory for a smooth trigger pull and reduces anticipation.

What is the most effective way to correct shooting flaws?

Instructor John G. Johnson advises against trying to fix multiple shooting issues simultaneously. Instead, focus on isolating one specific problem, like grip or trigger control, apply a targeted solution, and then move on to the next issue.

Should I focus on speed or accuracy when practicing?

For accuracy, it's best to slow down and focus on controlled, repeatable actions. Speed is a byproduct of mastering these fundamentals. Rushing shots often leads to poor technique and reduced accuracy.
