I have always been right eye dominant, shooting a rifle right-handed and pistol left-handed because I am left hand dominant. I recently joined a range and we did some five shot drills yesterday. I was amazed how horrible I really am. I put the pistol in my right hand and did the same drill with my strong hand helping to steady the pistol and everything came into alignment. I shot my 9 mm more accurately than ever. I then switched to my 4-inch Barrel M&P 10 MM... Watching this video, applying it, and strengthening my right wrist for the added recoil from the 10 MM will now be my focus. Thank you so much for showing the 50/50 drill. I have always loved shooting sports and this will improve where I am on the range!

If your sights are perfectly aligned but your point of impact is higher than your point of aim, you’re likely "heeling" the gun-pushing on the lower area of the backstrap as you fire. Focus on staying completely passive during the shot, moving only your trigger finger. For more information on how to keep the gun centered, please watch: ua-cam.com/video/uUNKnuREuK4/v-deo.html
This is interesting since it sounds like the opposite school of thought proposed by Hop (on TFB TV). He does not consider anticipating itself bad but the timing of it (pre vs. Post ignition push) and thinks training out anticipation completely is counter-productive. It would be interesting to see you guys have a conversation on this topic. Here is a link to Hop's video on recoil control. Thanks for the video anyway. ua-cam.com/video/xoE5UkDrDQw/v-deo.htmlsi=dLp9tMeig24-NmWO
To understand the problem, it’s important to first understand the cause. Both flinch and anticipation are reactions to the shot-whether due to the loud noise and impulse or the intent to control the gun better. However, anticipation is primarily a function of stance, while flinch is a function of grip. You are more likely to anticipate the shot if you are out of balance or trying to counter the muzzle flip for faster recovery. Flinch, on the other hand, is a sympathetic reaction of the fingers of the shooting hand when the trigger finger pulls the trigger. Your grip helps recover the sight alignment after the shot, but your stance brings that alignment back to the original point of aim. ☝🏻 We advocate for a passive approach to managing recoil and muzzle flip by establishing the proper grip and shooting platform, allowing the gun to settle naturally. Proper grip pressure and wrist stiffness will take care of the rest. The benefit of this method is that if you develop a reactive timing to recoil, every time you shoot a different gun, caliber, or ammunition with varying bullet weights, the dynamics change. This requires you to acclimate to the new equipment, making you dependent on it. With passive recoil control, however, changing equipment does not affect your performance because the way you control the gun remains consistent. Please watch: ua-cam.com/video/CEhfeW0piK0/v-deo.html
Actually, it's more accurate to simulate the recoil by hitting the bottom of the barrel going up (barrel of the gun goes up during recoil). This is how I show first time shooters how it feels like before actually shooting. You hit the front bottom of the gun up like a karate chop.
Not really! The recoil force vector is directed straight back toward the shooter, but handguns are designed so that we control them by gripping beneath the bore line. This creates a fulcrum point, which naturally leads to a muzzle flip. As you can see in the video, the gun moves upward in a muzzle flip when the tap simulates the recoil force.
Thanks Rossen 😊 always good info on your TPC channel. Miles and TacHyve are a gold mine of knowledge as well.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks again!
Thank you for the information you provide. I very much appreciate your work.
You are very welcome 👍🏻
I go left and up

All of this = no
Why exactly? 🤔
