In 2009, I came home from a deployment and my oldest son, who was 3 or 4 at the time, wouldn’t eat for almost 2 weeks... Being a father I was obviously concerned, so I asked him about it and his answer really hit me hard… He said, “Dad, if I eat I’ll grow up and if I grow up I’ll become a daddy. And if I become a daddy, I’ll have to leave my family.” My boys barely knew who I was and I couldn’t let them grow up without a father... I realized at that moment my family needed me a lot more than the Navy needed another SEAL. So I put in for retirement the next day… Back then I knew I wanted to be with my family more than anything, so I made changes in my life that allowed me to be at home. We all want more time to spend with the people we love or doing the things we love. That’s why I’m here to help! That's why I am giving you my top 3 training videos (for FREE) to help you learn how you can stay at home, and save time and money while you improve your shooting! I really want you to watch them so you can see how it is helping thousands of people just like you! So click the link now and go see what all the fuss is about: chrissajnog.com/freevideos/
Having children what's my most rewarding thing I ever did I'm glad I never had to leave them but I wanted to ask a question if you're in a self-defense situation and they were really close within 10 or 15 ft do you think a headshot would be a better shot to take instead of Center Mass because even if you hit somebody in the heart with the adrenaline flowing through them it may not kill them right away they could still shoot you but one shot to the head and it's usually over at 15 ft I can dump a mag in a Target the size of a person's head and never miss, but since I've never been in that situation of self-defense I don't know if I could do it being excited I know it's kind of a stupid question but I was wondering what your thoughts were on it
Mr. Sajnog, this video was a little bit of a breakthrough for my as to the WHY of front sight focus. Not many people effectively explain why, rather just that we should, with no explain action of the possible benefit. Now it’s really clear, especially with a moving target example.
Everyone starts front sight, and if your basic and don’t want to progress then front sight is fine. But target focus is what you will do when stressed so might as well drill that people.
This is the most "fresh" video (of yours) on front sight focus I've found, hence I comment here. Ok, I see your point to some degree. And after watching some of your other videos, I can fairly agree with your 'New rules of marksmanship'. I just begin my shooting 'adventure'. I've been only two times at a range so far - mainly due to low budget. But, taking into account 'New rules of marksmanships', I plan to buy good quality ASG for 'dry-weapon' training at home (well, maybe with CO2, blow-back ASG it won't be fully 'dry'). Anyway - I just want to point out I've just started to shoot in practice (being a firearm enthusiast for years by now). Now... I have to admitt, that I'm a fan of Jerry Miculek too. A specially, that for me personaly, firearms are mostly for sport (for self defence too, but this is a little more complicated matter here in Poland, than it propably is in most of the states of USA). And I like Jerry's attitude based on 'less is better'. Meaning, less you have to 'artifficialy' add to your behavior to be efficient, the better. So I'm preety sure, that focusing on front sight, one can get really precise (and perhaps Jerry is also doing this - to be honest I don't know). Still, focusing on target feels more natural to me. Hence, why focusing on a target (while being also aware of sight alligment) is not preffered method for 'New rules' shooters? I think here mostly of handguns at distances up to about 25, maybe 30 meters. I understand, that while focusing on front sight we can more easily see any deviation from 'perfect' sights alligment, while still keeping acceptable sights picture. But isn't it easier (in sence of being more natural) to focus on a target, while learning (and train to) to keep good sights alligment at the same time? In the way, that I focus on a spot on a target, and I 'bring-up' my sights to that point. I guess, that I can be (at least at the begining) less accurate, than with 'front-sight-focus'. But in competition (fast-shooting), or self defence scenario, ultimatly wouldn't I be accurate enough at said distance, while being... hmm.... more efficient in terms of biomechanics, and about what my body and mind are about to do in very short time aviable? Wouldn't this be aslo more efficient in terms of learning and training? Of course in situation in with we have plenty of time, like plinking, bulls-eye shooting, etc. I guess 'front-sight' focus wins easily. I want to make clear - I don't mean to 'claim' anything. I'm just asking. Best wishes!
What about shotgun shooting at moving targets like in Skeet or Trap, because everybody keeps saying focus only on the target to maximize the number of hits.
Good video. I practice focusing on my front sight every time I shoot. But I haven't really thought about doing it with a moving target. And I'm not naive enough to think a target is going to stand still
I have a beginner's question.. I'm kinda new at shooting handguns and I've ordered your focus string..Anyway my question is, Does the brand of ammo that I use factor in shooting? I've been using Blazer 9mm 115 GR rounds.. lol I have a few shotguns, but a shotgun doesn't take much skill..
I will have to hold my 1911 sideways in order to do that level trick / training. Actually I should train until I become skilled enough to balance the level on any firearm in my hands while moving. That was seriously amazing and inspirational watching you do that with the gun and level. Amazing skill. Much like watching an expert samurai move with his sword. Thanks Chris.🙂🙂🙂🙂
Red Bear Preparedness I'd bet he could do it if it wasn't magnetic too. I still think it's pretty awesome, and an awesome training technique as well. Thanks for commenting! 😃🇺🇸
_Agree, but I after a long while of honing your skills and staying profession, you began to develop a natural ability of point and shoot without thinking, it the same muscle performance and mental operation. Of course, if I use the sights my keyhole is 1 1/2 to 2 1/8 using D-taps, on the move is a bit more open. They're on the move, I track the width of the front sight and side of the weapon. It seems, when I'm ready to execute and pull, the round(s) and targets, meet's._ Thoughts, please...

I never had a father. That's deep. Thank you for your professional videos. My lady and I have been consistently practicing our dry firing.

Just shows how badly someone can miss and how easily they can miss a moving target if they are not using sights. Great job Chief.
This one looks fun to do. Most definitely going to do that
It's great to hear the voice on moving targets you rarely ever find that

Very interesting. Thank you and thank you for your Service.

Excellent...
I will try that drill
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the tip. Never thought of this
Many thanks
A delight to be taught by you
Thank you
Thanks. Keep up the good work. Of course a navy guy is going to use a torpedo level.
Stephen Sullivan , 😉 that's a good one

Shotguns spew out multiple projectiles. Covers greater area lessens errors
Try it and see. I definitely want to try it.
Your are the real deal, Sir. Signed up already.
Good video. I practice focusing on my front sight every time I shoot. But I haven't really thought about doing it with a moving target. And I'm not naive enough to think a target is going to stand still

Quotes of the day is always learn from the experience

I'm almost positive that is a magnetic level, so it wasn't going to fall off. However, he did keep the bubble in the center, which takes coordination.
Red Bear Preparedness I'd bet he could do it if it wasn't magnetic too. I still think it's pretty awesome, and an awesome training technique as well. Thanks for commenting! 😃🇺🇸

Thoughts, please...
Should I also apply this technique regarding transitions? Or I have to find my second target and after that focus on my sigth picture?
You are GOOD, Sir
sounds bit gay
Anybody else hit like right after he finished the intro?
use aimpoint
No. No I can’t.
