How To Stop Anticipating The Shot
ฝัง

- One of the most common misses is when you shot goes low and to the inside. Generally referred to as anticipation, there's a lot to that. Usually it's a catch-all term that's never really been explained, so here you go.

The algorithm likes lower quality videos more often unfortunately
Go take one of his classes and you’ll realize your comment is far truer still. Phenomenal instructor.
It’s okay, we will be the smart ones
I know I’m 3 months late to the party here, but I thought the exact same thing after just the first minute. This man has perfected his craft. He is very obviously both a great shooter, and an amazing shooter. I hope this channel gets the recognition it deserves soon. Keep up the good work sir!
Absolutely agree...excellent
I have been reading, listening/learning and, practicing for years. This has been the highest value 9 minutes, in the past decade, for me.
We try my friend. Let us know if you have video ideas.
What’s the name of the book. I want to order it.
@@baersolutions can you make a video showing how you recommend incorporating moving and shooting into your practice? Once you mastered basic/safe weapons handling of course. Or if that’s even a skill that’s relevant or just a cool guy thing.
No bullshit intros, titles and editings. Straight to point and overload with very precious information and knowledge sharing. This gentleman shared with us his summary of years of hard earned personal experience in 9 minutes.
The best explanation I have heard in over 30 years in LE!
No ads, BS, acting, flair and fluff you get from other gun Tubers … you’re straight to the point with amazing content and information. You sir have earned a new subscriber.
Lifetime shooter and long time USPSA and steel challenge shooter. Trigger jerk is still something I struggle with often today. This was an incredibly helpful video finally outside of the “straight back don’t disrupt sights, good luck” videos that are a dime a dozen on here. It may have been said before but some reason your delivery finally helped it stick on exactly what I keep doing wrong. Thanks for the video man!!
I shoot both as well and I'm with ya there.
The best way to stop anticipation or flinching as they call it is by dry firing enough, so pulling the trigger while the guns empty and there's no bang no recoil becomes muscle memory, you'll do it instinctively, without anticipating our flinching from then on. It takes about 2000 repetitions for something to become muscle memory, but if you want it bad enough, you're put in the time. I'm a certified Weapons instructor and I have seen it work every single time.
Have a buddy randomly put some dummy rounds mixed in with live rounds in the mag. I never knew I anticipated the shot until I started throwing in a dummy round here or there in the mag. Also you'll notice it when you get distracted and forget to chamber a round and you go to fire.
I've been shooting for 40 years and I learned a few things today. Excellent video!
This is why I love the Glock trigger. The defined reset and the wall work perfectly for this approach. Great video. I subbed.
That was a lot of useful info, thanks
How is this not a pro production channel on TV??? I just found your channel and am blown away by the production quality and editing! I haven’t even gotten to the content I’m so taken by the cinematography and musicality. Bravo, my friend.
That's all Tom Chi. He's really good.
Excellent video and sound advice. I was trained to “ride the reset” when I first started in law enforcement years ago. I was afforeded the opportunity to attend a state law enforcement firearms instructor school I was taught the method you describe for trigger manipulation. It improved my shooting performance dramatically.
I am a new shooter and this is the 2nd video of yours I've seen, they are SO helpful, thank-you. Didn't know you had a book; just ordered it.
GREAT VIDEO! In the early 80’s we were taught click bang as Troopers with the S&W M28. Huge difference when you do as you instructed. Thanks.
I'm a novice shooter and my "shot anticipation" went away like magic one day because I was so focused on lining my sights and hitting the target that I didn't even think about the recoil. I shoot maybe once every couple months, and for weeks I was so anticipating it that I would sit in my bedroom and aim at various things (without dry firing) just wanting to shoot so bad. I think I somehow trained myself to solely focus on shot placement, which is awesome because the fear of recoil was hindering my performance so badly 😊
How many times have you heard someone say the solution is to let the shot surprise you or something like that? I've never been sure what that means, but in practice (for me) it leads to this creeping trigger & wobbling sight picture problem. 'Cause I'm trying to be surprised, see? Except I anticipate the surprise. This idea of having your vision cue an automatic response from the trigger finger instead of letting your finger send the brain information is like someone teaching you how to properly hold a football: seems like a small change but the effect is significant.
Yo this is the best advice I've ever gotten. Immediately became better
I’ve watched dozens of other channels videos on this topic; no one has explained this as well as you have. Well done and thank you.
This was the most helpful video. The first time I shot I was pretty good and then I developed recoil anticipation. All the other videos I watch just talked about how it was psychological and just get over it or do lots of dry fire practice. This was the first piece of advice that worked and now my shooting is so much better! Thank you!
You saw a lot of stupid videos. It's impossible to anticipate while dry firing. Why? Because you don't anticipate a bang when you know it won't happen.
Ball & Dummy. Yes! Anticipation (or flinching) is psychological. Some people don't have this problem. They become expert shooters and when they decide to teach shooting... poor pupils. They never succeed (instructors and pupils).
If you shoot low and left: 99,99% is solved with Ball & Dummy. Get a revolver, some spent cases and take ypur time.
Watch this every time I go out to the range. Right before. Great reminder.
Thanks for another very informative video. I really like your detailed method of explanation. You really break down the actual mechanics of how to properly shoot. I just recently discovered your channel and am already learning a lot. Can't wait to shoot so I can try some of the techniques you have demonstrated. Thanks for what you are doing.
This is one of the best videos on shooting technique that I’ve ever seen.
Thanks bud.
You're an excellent and effective instructor!!!! Thank you for the knowledge transfer, sir!!! Good luck to you, stay safe, keep your dome on a swiv!!!!
HANDS DOWN THE BEST VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN! STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, EXPLAINED VERY WELL, AND EASY GOING INSTRUCTION.
Thinking your "process" thru sounds very useful. I actually talk to myself in my head during my process. Getting the brain involved leads to less " reaction" and pulled shots. Thanks!
Makes a lot of sense I find my self slowly breaking that shot & makes my gruping garbage. I noticed just preping the trigger and firing quick when sights on target makes my shooting a lot more Acurate
Good comment, excellent summary.
Thank you. I have a Glock 22 which was my issued sidearm several years ago. I've never been able to shoot well with it. What you describe in this video is exactly where my shot placement generally is, low left or at least along the left side of center. I'm in a pistol class this week and I have learned exactly what you described. I've never shot this pistol so well. Now, all I have to do is practice practice practice and practice.
VERY underrated channel. This is excellent advice! The kind people will pay money to learn. Thank you Drew.
Smarter than the average bear for sure. I have shot for years, regularly, and i still have occasional problems. very nice explanation. simple and clear. I shot better yesterday. Thank you and thanks for your experience and service!
Best I've seen. Clear, precise.
Thank you yt algorithm for showing me this content. This is the type of content I want to see. It’s hard to search for it though because the big names are the only things that show up (not that all of them are bad I’ve just already watched them all)
Absolutely LOVE your posts!! Your instructional technique really makes sense to me
Awesome video yet again. It's so refreshing to see a no bs explanation. We've all been there. I see some guys just straight-up shoot with their right pinky off.
I would love to take one of your courses.
have watched hours of vids talking about techniques for better shot placement. I could have just watched this 9 mins of instruction and saved myself some time. Great areas of focus that I can easily remember. The support hand dominance focus just blew my mind. No one really talks about how that hand can help with the trigger movement. excellent. now a subscriber
I dont know how many videos on this topic I have watched now. But this video in particular, even while I was only listening and not watching, does a fantastic job explaining what it was intended to teach. I can't wait to try practice.
The best instructional video on grip I've seen...great job in breaking it down and explaining how to fix it...
Discovered you this week, your whole channel is gold!! Clear and concise 💯
Thank you for this video. No BS, just concise valuable information to get better. You have a new sub!
Very informative review, explanation and demonstration 💪🏼🇺🇸
Will subscribe and retroactively review what I have missed out on.
Looking forward to more posts in the immediate future
This is the best tutorial on trigger control vs. shot anticipation I've ever seen. Thanks!
All I watch is gun videos. All day. I finally found someone that can explain things to my chimp brain.
These were some great tips I can't wait for my next range day to put them into practice
Great Video as always.
Thanks so much for explaining the anticipated shot. Great content.
this was the best explanation and example for this topic
I can't believe you're letting us have this for free.
Based.
Thanks for sharing such a tremendous amount of valuable information!
Great video. Looking forward to going to the range and applying these. Hopefully I’ll fix my low shots.
Thanks you for the info and diagnostics. Always like learning.
Dude 59 years old and dropping forever, where have you been? Thank you, you changed my world.
Dude, your videos are great. I've been sharing your content far and wide.
I've been learning a lot with you. Thank you.
This channel is awesome, hope he continues to make videos.
Very informative thank you when shooting a long time always been a little guilty of it never broken it down I appreciate it
One of the best instructional and breakdowns that this self taugh-internet student-civi has seen yet
THANK YOU! I’ve been working on shooting low left for a year. I’ve watched many videos on grip, trigger, breathe, pull the trigger straight back,let the shot surprise you, etc. They helped, but I was very frustrated with still shooting low left.
Today I had high hopes that using a death grip would be the solution. Still shot low left. 😢 My last clip, I remembered your tip on sticking out the pinky finger, and the craziest thing, my shots where in the center. Holy shit! This worked. Thank you! I can’t wait to get back to the range to see if I can shoot consistently in the center.✌️
Great video! I think this might be the basis for my inaccuracy. On slow fire, one shot at a time, slowly pulling the trigger, on average I am less accurate than if I shoot at a faster rate or cadence as my red dot drops back into the target area. Thank you for the tips!
You’re a very good instructor. Clear and precise!
one of the best channels on TH-cam.
Thank you for the clear instructions on dealing with this problem. It has been a problem for me.
Thanks so much for this video 🙏🙏 this is my biggest hurdle at the range right now
Now I understand why my G27 is the most accurate pistol I have. No pinky on the grip so I am not pulling down before firing the pistol. Very informative and helpful information. Thanks.
That is the most relevant thing I have heard on that situation. Thanks.
Great video along with sound instruction. I like get to the topic and get to the point. So many others spend way too much time with fluff.
Great video (Masterfully done)! Awesome footage capturing trigger control.
OUTSTANDING analysis!
Thanks for the tip - I think this is exactly why my shots are low and a little left.
This brother jus put me on a few things I have never heard of before… Great content and instruction…. Love this info
This is my favorite explanation of this so far.
Man you made a profound statement when it comes to the L.E.O. way of shooting. I am going to practice this technique.
Duelly noted. I chopped off my pinky. Now I’m doing .15 splits hitting where I want.
Cheers. Good video.
I just started really getting back into shooting after more than a decade since my discharge from the Army. The micro movement has been a huge issue, especially on a small carry pistol. Great advice. I'm looking for a good class, unfortunately I'm probably gonna have to travel pretty far to find one.
Great vid, lots of good stuff in here.
I just came across your video, and it really clicked for me. Excellent explanation. You have a new subscriber. Thanks!
This was actually really super solid info. Thanks, man.
This is an excellent video. Breaks down the trigger pull into very understandable and modifiable parts.
Very good video. I'll try and practice this next time I go to the range. Thanks man.
Great tips. I’ve had to “re-train” several coppers over the years who had problems anticipating the shots. I put dummy rounds in the mag and don’t tell them so they will start to understand.
I just discovered your channel thanks to dirty civilians. Helpful and quality content. The explanations are clear and precise, you go to the essentials, thank you.
Wow!! This info is golden Drew! We need more nuggets Drew...More nuggets please.
We got more coming. Thanks Jose.
First time I come across your channel I'm no expert just a average guy but you are dead on with the info thanks for the video will share for sure
The first rule for myself was…stop thinking about the bang. Once I stopped thinking about the gun going bang, it helped me focus so much more.
Great tips that I've not heard previously. Thank you.
Very valuable and useful information!
It reminds me of tennis. Always swing through dont stop mid motion in anticipation. Great video
Love info videos like this, saw you have a book and targets online and I'll be loading up on those.
Thanks for the support. Let me know what you think of the book.
@@baersolutions I am what I would consider a newer handgun shooter. Less than a year of owning and firing my own handgun. I shoot at an indoor range at least twice a month for now.
Im working on not putting my shots low and to the left like the video describes (R Hand shooter, L Eye dominant).
THE TARGETS ARE FREE TO DOWNLOAD AND PRINT BY THE WAY!!
In the book it talks about the mentality of the rubber band on the finger and how a boxer/fighter wouldn't just throw a punch out there and leave it.. when I practice the TOTALLY FREE "Danny" target (#2) I am having issues getting into a comfortable groove shooting the 1,2,3,4,5 and the 12345. I'm comfortable with the 1 thousand and the 1 and 2 but when it gets to shooting faster, accurately, I either freeze up and pin the trigger down with a slow reset or I throw the rounds all over the place.
I will continue to dig into this book, which in my opinion is very easy to read and understand without it being dull or "too simple" and I will practice more on not holding the trigger hostage and sinking my rounds low and left.
Thank you for these free insight videos, free targets and for putting out a book that is about training, about getting better and not just another book from a veteran about how they changed a tire on a Huey at 30,000 feet with one hand while returning fire.
Interesting presentation. Finding a way that works for a particular individual can be a challenge.
Awesome content! Thank you for sharing
Great content thank you
simple, I like it!
When i first started shooting, my shots were going left and right from the target. After practicing for a while, now I have an up and down problem.
I've learned a lot from this guy, great channel.
Love this video! Thanks!
Great instruction thanks man!!
A Guntuber who's not fat or using mechanics gloves🙌🏻
Great video! I've been shooting for a while but lately I've been shooting most of my guns low center. Bad enough I about bottomed out the elevation on my 45 Tacs RMR.
Funny that you said dropping the pinky can help. I was shooting my G19 short grip (same grip length as the 26) and had zero issues shooting that🤷🏻♂️
Got some work to do! Thanks!
A great way to look at trigger pull and grip.
Thanks so much. I sure need a cure for that. Can't wait to get to the range to try it out!
Damn, this video was super helpful for me. I was just compensating for shooting low. Nice to finally be able to correct the problem.
NEW SUBSCRIBER
THANK YOU great explaining.
Guilty of creeping the trigger. Thanks for pointing that out to me, I'm going to try the slack, wall, take the shot technique next.
