    Thank you so much! I watched to the 10 min mark thinking man I really don’t care about single hand shooting. I got up, got my timer and gun, and in literally 5 min figured out I was introducing ‘too much torque’ on my last two fingers of my firing hand. Adjusted that and pressure application of the trigger.. Literally in 5 min time I had a playing card size sign 25 yards away on my fence and I was staying dead on with my dot throughout the trigger pull. Now I just have to make that muscle memory. You genuinely taught a man to fish today and I am very grateful.

I noticed a difference and fixed issues i have had since i started shooting. I tried your system and fixed at least 2 issues within just one session. Thank you.

    This was an awesome video! Learned so much and I definitely have so much more to work on! Out of curiosity will you guys consider making a dry file rifle video as well. I Understand that pistol is way more intricate than rifle but I'm curious what things there are to learn with Rifle Dry fire as well. One thing I really took out of this video is changing the depth/range of targets! It makes perfect sense! Keep up the great work with the videos guys!

    • @robepifania
      @robepifania 2 роки тому +2

      Thanks so much for commenting Zack! To be honest, there isn't a ton of difference in dry practice with a rifle or a pistol in terms of setups, layout, etc. The mechanics are different with a rifle than a pistol, but the methodology is very very similar. If you're using par times, they will be different with a rifle and I'd recommend using simulated further distances than a pistol in most cases (smaller targets or more distance if you have it available). If you have other questions feel free to ask!

    Can you make a video about round patterns on targets? For example, point of aim is not the same as point of impact. instead, rounds are going to the left instead of the center

    • @pauld9696
      @pauld9696 2 роки тому +7

      Most likely trigger control and grip. Do dry fire w the trigger, focusing on not having any jerking movements through the entire pull.

    • @robepifania
      @robepifania 2 роки тому +15

      3 things that are happening assuming you're right handed (left handed would be right of center)
      1 - your firing hand is tensing as soon as you're breaking the shot. Try putting your brain on your hand and don't let it move. Also, move the trigger at one continuous speed whether quicker or slower.
      I also give people the common correction to tighten their support hand and rotate the support hand elbow upward to give you more room for error.
      2 - you're pushing the gun to the left with your trigger finger path. Correction would be to add more finger into the trigger (I do not subscribe to one part of the finger always having to contact the trigger face - it's different for everyone and every gun).
      3 - if your support hand isn't crushing the gun literally as hard as you can, you could be tensing the support hand fingers and pulling the gun right. This one isn't as common though unless a draw/presentation are involved.
      Hope this helps!

      @robepifania 2 роки тому +1

      There are people that find that to be very helpful, however I personally don't use it. I think the value of using your own gun is highly important! Also, the airsoft recoil is not realistic at all. I do think there is value to understanding "shot calling" and this helps verify that to some degree, but once you understand how to make that connection it's not as necessary imo. Hope that helps!

      @robepifania 2 роки тому +14

      Bright side to that is a LOT of your skill development can be gained this way! Then you can focus your live sessions on verifying that your methods are working when you have actual recoil. It drastically reduces the performance drop in your "cold" runs
