    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!
    Once you read my New Rules of Marksmanship you will learn how you can stay at home, and save time and money while you improve your shooting! I promise this works… try it now: snip.ly/vqtwv4

      you say that the dominant arm holding the gun has to be inline with your arm but at 4:28 it is in the middle of your chest with your arms straight . while we are getting ready to shoot are we making a right triangle with our chest or a isosceles triangle ?

    Chris, after reading your book and practicing thousands of of rounds I was able to shoot one hole targets. Actually was able to shoot the first 100 score target at my range(10 bullseyes), thanks Chris for your help.

    I shoot low and left for a different reason; I flinch and pull the gun in that direction as a result. As soon as I discovered this, I emptied the gun and utilized a technique I had learned from an old gun nut- practice holding an empty gun and pulling the trigger over and over without jerking the sights at all. When my body was used to that, I reloaded the gun, aimed for a headshot, gripped the gun regularly, not too tightly, and fired. I got a few bullseyes in a row. Now I need to practice that as dry-fire for a while to make it muscle memory.

  • @TheTonya409

    Came across this video yesterday as I’ve been struggling with this exact issue for a while now... and wish I had watched this sooner! Took some time at the range today to apply these pointers along with Chris’ front sight video and dramatically improved my grouping! You’ve earned a subscriber, thanks Chris!

    OMG! THANK YOU!!! Precisely what I've been doing with my carry gun - Beretta 92FS, 40 s&w. I believe you hit the nail on the head and I can't wait to get to the range to try, but your comments make perfect sense! Even us instructors can take hints too if you're smart enough to listen. Will report back what happens!

    Went to the range today with the grip you described. Waalaa! No more low and left shots. Nice tight center target groupings at 7 yards. Thanks for the help.

  • @MoneyMikeSavage
    @MoneyMikeSavage 3 роки тому +5

    My groupings aren’t as horrible for someone who’s only gone shooting like 4 or 5 times, but my last time I was always shooting low to the left. This video helped me see what I was doing wrong! Can’t wait to get to the range next and try to work out my kinks! Thanks!

  • @jhough57
    @jhough57 4 роки тому +2

    @dwightbernheimer331 5 років тому +2

    Thank you very much. Your video shooting low and to the left was great as I'm an avid shooter. A lot of these videos about guns and ammo it takes the guy 25 minutes to get to the point. Most of the time I watch Honest Outlaw videos another person that gets right to the point thanks again

    Thank you so much for the video. I now have a clear idea of what to watch out for in my dry fire practice at home and anticipate accurate shot placement at the range. I really want my EDC to hit what I'm aiming for! Thanks again!

  • @shooterqqqq
    @shooterqqqq 6 років тому +2

    Thanks Chris. I think I am on my way to correcting my problem of milking the grip. It started when I attended a class which teaches the old push pull. I don't do that but it creeped into my brain and I was stuck for two days with it. I could use a proper grip, align the sights, press the trigger, watch my sights move in a perfect 12 oclock during recoil and still shoot low and left. Once I stopped push pull and simply gripped or captured, I'm fine. I also think of follow through as a teaching aid. If I picture follow through and memorize it as another building block it works. The follow through tip came from talking to Jerry Miculek.

    Great video. I wish I knew this before.I am a retired Police officer {32} years. I was assigned to the tack team as a sniper. I shot a lot of rounds. I had the curse of shoot my Glock left. I fought that all the time. Now I know why. Thanks Chris Phil Matton Palm Bay FL I retired from Massachusetts.

  • @clintlion5531
    @clintlion5531 5 років тому +1

    THANK YOU! Have a p229 legion and big hands. The length of pull is tiny with the reset on the Grey trigger. I’ve been shooting for most of my life and this gun perplexed me. Until you said “people are taught to shoot wit the pad of their finger” that had been so I ingrained into my training that I never thought that’d be the problem. I’m shooting one inch groups at 15 yards with it now after trying for 1,000 plus rounds. Thank you again!!

    Great Tip, I also fixed my issue by using my left index finger to press against the frame a bit just prior right index trigger pull, plus having a more tighter grip, and that solved the problem, finally making 4 inch groups at 30 ft on my Sig P 938. Its a strange hold, but its working for me
