Hesitation When Shooting Standing
Вставка

- When shooting the highpower standing stage, many times I see the reticle in the 10-ring but I don't fire. This is common for many competitive shooters. I've wondered why this happens and I think I found one reason why it happens to me. Let me show you what I'm seeing through my scope and explain what's going through my head as I'm lining up the shot.
Thank you for doing a standing trigger cam video! It’s very helpful to see what a good shooter’s hold looks like on standing.
Being inexperienced, it’s hard to know when to move on from working on the position to the shooting. After this video it’s obvious what I need to work on. Thanks again!
Love the scope cam.
Awesome! Thank you Konrad. I personally hate it when my reticle drops below the level of the target. I always feel like having the Article below the level of the target will invariably cause me to subconsciously tense up to for it into the black.
Great video!
As someone who has gone head first down the bullseye rabbit hole, the biggest difficulty with offhand is to establish your hold in the center, then accept your wobble, embrace your shakes, and just pull straight to the rear. more often than not it's a 9 or 10 when you do that. the gross errors in the 7 ring and out almost exclusively come from poor trigger control /some gross error on your own part.
Really great video! Thanks for putting this out there. I've been working the last year to be more active on the trigger, and found out that I was doing the same thing where I wasn't prepped on the trigger as I started down toward the target.Lots to think about and learn from.
I love this video. It would be awesome if you said where the actual hit was to check if our call was accurate based on your sight picture.
For me, the key to good standing scores has simply been a 50 minute daily practice schedule alternating dry and live fire for a total of 40 rounds. Plotting all shot calls but not strikes. Then, at completion of firing I plot strikes. This routine will first identify need to refine zero and over episodes build stamina, as well as quick adjustment of NPA (exacting NPA adjustment delivers an almost wobble free position). I learned this schedule from a champion USAMU shooter and after only three weeks with the practice I went from a 92 to 96% average which helped me get leg points needed for US Distinguished Rifleman Badge. At any rate, until I became informed of the USAMU practice routine I was a mess in the standing position.
That is likely the most helpful illustration of my problem I’ve ever seen Konrad! Very familiar looking and reassuring as well. Now, to be really ready first time it’s there…
What a coincidence. I’m literally at the range about to shoot my third 20rnd string of standing practice. I’m so glad to finally see what a good shooter is seeing through his scope during a live string. Although your hold is much steadier, I seem to spend a lot of time below the black as well. And I tend to call a lot of shots on the 10 line at 4 o’clock. I think I’m trying too hard to bring it back on the ten ring. Not a lot Drifting going on. I took a 2day class at Dead Zero in Tennessee last month and came away with a lot of things to think about. I also doubled my target distance in dryfire from 13 to 27 yards. I think With the amount of sway we have in standing using really short range dryfire distances magnifies the sway and may be counter productive. Love that camera. It really makes for outstanding training videos.
I tend to break shots outer 10 and leak a few inner 9 at 4-5:00 too. Likely something in my follow through or that I am tending to drift down and right as I see a good 10 and when it actually breaks, I'm in that area..., I started giving myself a couple clicks, higher elevation and a few more clicks left to score more tens. Sometimes you just got to roll with it if you're being consistent.
What a great video. Learning so much from this. Thank you
Really enjoying your videos. Can you do one describing your basic cleaning regimen and cleaning interval? I’m doing a field strip and clean every couple matches to ensure reliable functionality, but am not sure about how often to clean the barrel, with what, etc. thanks!
Thank You. If I can increase my standing scores significantly I could just barely get out of the Master category.
This is why I prefer crosshairs. I think they psychologically force you to approach the target on the straight (left-right/top-bottom), not like a cat chasing a laser pointer:). Traded my white oak scope for one with crosshairs, even though it was better for prone.
You are so right. I have not found any reticle out there which promotes a quick understanding for where the rifle is pointed. The best would be a simple post subtending about 6 MOA. The problem with all others is the black reticle can not be seen clearly over the black target bull. NF has an aperture reticle which is what the USAMU wants and no doubt it is good but I still prefer a post.
I actually prefer the dot and believe it's the best all-around aiming point. I shoot with varying degrees of cant in each stage so crosshairs forcing me to approach from an orthogonal direction would not help.
One of the smallbore silhouette channels goes on about being "active on the trigger", of course those are primarily single stage.
Love this guy & love these videos!
Dam. I’m exhausted just watching you shoot.
Если смотреть на спуск в процессе выстрела, то видно, чтго нет сопровождения выстрела в процессе обработки - палец после спуска не убирать со спускового крючка и продолжать прицеливание и всю процедуру выстрела 1-3 секунбы. после производства выстрела
Never seen this type of shooting with AR:s before..are you holding the fingers over the ejection port?🤔
That is a common practice. The bolt will lock back as only one round is loaded at a time. The extra bonus is your brass stays on the gun and you don't have to look for it later.
What kind of camera is that? I'd be very curious to see what I'm doing while shooting.
Mr.k
Why is it that you hold rifle at close to receiver at the balance point when in basic army rifle training, they teach holding out on forearm.
I see they all hold close in standing position. I'm confused about if there is a rule or why
A hand forward hold is for faster or moving target acquisition. His shooting position is a bone support position. This minimizes muscle use making a more steady position. He is hitting a 7" 10 ring at 200 yards, while standing unsupported.
In addition to steady support offered by the position, unlike combat shooting, you know that you are firing a single shot and that there is no need for a quick follow up shot or shots on a moving target.

Your hold is WAY more steady than mine. I mean, I'm just a sharpshooter, but it's nice to see what an experienced shooter is seeing when shooting pretty consistently above 95. I know, for me, that my reticle is going to come down, through the black and then back up again. Knowing that, I know my time to shoot is when my reticle is coming back up. As I'm coming down onto the target, I've already taken up my second stage and am ready to fire.
Great videos, have you found or have any tips for steadying your position in offhand? I only have a creedmoor canvas coat and I wear a hoodie underneath it or the shooting jersey
There really aren't any secrets to a smaller hold. Bone-to-bone contact to support the rifle, head/neck in a (somewhat) natural position. Practice just holding the rifle without dry-firing. Mount the rifle and just watch the movement. You'll soon see what nuances lead to a smaller hold.
The best advice I've gotten for standing position is to go look at smallbore or air rifle people. E.g. Heinz Reinkenmeier (spelling?) has a ton of good videos on standing. Tons of dryfire. My average for high power standing is something like 98. I'm pretty terrible at 600, but I can wreck at standing. Backwards from almost every other high power shooter I know. Another good standing series of videos is Dan Lowe, which is more high power focused (but he used to be an air rifle guy)
what scope are you using ? thanks for the video!
