Great video and seeing Ernest with a Glock or any other pistol than a Beretta in hand is just wild! That’s how awesome the LTT custom shop has to be in order for that to happen😂.
Good explanation but how does one begin to develop the skill besides dry firing? Should we start with a target that is relatively close like 21 feet or should we send it out to 25 yards in order to not be able to see where the shot hits and then bring the target back to evaluate?
There are a ton of answers to your ?. Iron sights or optics might make a difference. 21' or 7 yards will tell you your issues, without having to move a target back and forth. So the simple answer would be the shorter distance. I can tell my mistakes at 5 yards very easily.
I'll try on thursday to get better at it. I can hold a okay group at 25m (about 10cm) but I have to seriously mess up to notice it without looking at the paper. How best train calling shots? I mean everyone is asking for a drill of everything but especially visually I take as much guidance as I can and looking for the moment when the shot breaks seems to invite anticipation more than usual. I'll try to be quite slow first to avoid it. Some questions: Is it valid to mark the shots on a small chart after a 5 shot group to see the difference of calling them and what comes back on paper or is there a better way? My guess is to be far away to be forced to call shots. Any difference between iron sights and red dot calling shots one should know? How does one make it harder to call to keep improving? What does the movement right after tell us and how does one separate it? Thanks for all the videos covering the important bases.
With red dots, you need to be focused on the target and not the sight, so I find it harder to call my shots-if Im doing that correctly. With irons , current prevailing theory is you focus on the front sight not the target- so I find it easier to call the shot if Im doing that.

Or you can tape over them after a few shots to get more milage out of the paper. Paper plates are an option too.
Ernest seems like an awesome guy to grab a cup of coffee with and chat guns
I shot my first USPSA match this past Sunday and being able to do this really really really helped out!

Shot calling really helps with shooting steel, so one does not have to wait to actually see the steel fall.

Thanks for your reply. I don't get any notification for reasons. I'm using a dot atm and I'll try it with irons too.
