Shooting Fundamentals

[pjanak]

@usmcmiami. It appeasrs I just wrote what you've already stated. LOL.

[pjanak]

Turns out his explanation is of sight picture is only good for those who have adjust thier sights so that when aiming directly at the 6 o'clock position they'll hit dead center of the target, This was done because usually the bullseye was dark. So it was easier to see your sight picture against a lighter background than the bullseye

[pjanak]

Explain the logic behind your explaination of sight picture. An apple on top off the table makes no sense. You would either graze or miss the apple's bottom. A gun site is already designed to work with the recoil of a gun so where the sight is located is where the round will go.

[USMCMIAMI]

@pjanak You noticed exactly what I did. Marine Corps marksmanship instructors taught us to cut the sight picture in half horizontally with the front sight post.

[USMCMIAMI]

We were taught on PI that in sight picture, the top edge of the front sight post cuts the taget in half horizontally. Nice video though. It's amazing how few people know marksmanship basics.

[pjanak]

I completely agree. I have nver in my 43 years heard anyone say what he said. The NRA doesn't even say that I don't think.

[CureForIgnorance]

They do say that, believe it or not. I'm staring at an instructor's poster right now depicting this very principle.

[chuck1284]

@USMCMIAMI Your instructors had it right - the center of the top edge of the front sight is where the weapon (rifle or pistol) should put the rounds. The hold he's showing here is know as a 'six o'clock hold' that was originally used by bullseye/target shooters at the 25 yard NRA slow-fire pistol matches. It has no application in any other type of shooting since it makes it very difficult to place a round with any degree of precision.

great vid man awesome

[debsterhkx]

Outstanding! Keep up the great Work!!

[DBM1914]

Oustanding block of instruction. Simple, concise and very effective.

[palerider1775]

Holy fuck dude! I spent 5 years in The Corps and no one ever told me shit about how to find my dominant eye. Before I actually fired a real weapon, like when I was I child, I clearly remember using my left eye, even though I'm right handed. Then, in bootcamp, since I was right handed, they basically forced me to use my right eye. I just tried that little test and the result I keep getting is my left eye being dominant. Ha! Amazing. Thanks bro'!

[ninjapenguino101]

=\ it wasn't the corps it was the shitty pmi you had...

[palerider1775]

Whatever it was, it happened and no one else ever told me otherwise. Still shot decent by applying the fundamentals though(one point away from getting Rifle Expert, and I got a pepsi from my Senior Drill Instructor for getting a "possible" on the rapid fire). The BCG's they gave me were the wrong prescription for my eyes, also (that got fixed later), so maybe I would have done much better if I had the right eyeglasses and if I would have shot from my dominant eye....

[Hog40305]

Thank you man. This vid helped me alot a year ago when I bought my first gun, and now I use it to teach new shooters the basics.

The way you explain things comes across really simple to new shooters, it helped me alot when I was green, and now, for the same reason, I show this vid to rookie shooters because I know it will help them like it helped me.

Keep up the good work!

[CureForIgnorance]

Thank you. I appreciate it. If you have any requests or ideas for future videos, questions or comments, don't hesitate to email me.

Thanks for watching and referring others!

Should I keep both eyes open or my one dominate eye?

[CureForIgnorance]

If you're having trouble siting the pistol at first, it may be a good idea to start with the non-dominant eye closed to get you used to siting with the dominant eye. And that works great for shooting paper. You need to, over time, get used to siting the pistol with your dominant eye and keep both eyes open. In a defensive encounter you'll already be suffering from tunnel vision because of stress, you don't want to further restrict your field of vision by closing an eye.

[pjanak]

Now that....I like.

[ugotpimp]

kick ass. simple & easy to remember.  great job.

[Bl4ckw3LLnyc]

great video

[wordsworth727]

Thanks!!! I just took a safety class and didn't realize that my aim should be made with one dominant eye instead of both eyes. The reason my target sheet wasn't great is beacause I was trying to aim with both eyes, I guess.

[bmw540i1]

great job, first time shooter so this video answers a lot of questions. keep them coming.

[CureForIgnorance]

Any questions you have that the videos don't hit on, let me know. I respond to all emails within 24 hours. If I think its a common question, I'll make a new video.

Thanks for watching/commenting.

[DVLDOC8404]

EXCELLENT JOB! Is that the Ruger P95 or P97? I was looking at the DESANTIS website and they dont have the same holster for the  P95. Would the P97 holster work?

[CureForIgnorance]

It should, they are very similar in size. Holsters have sizes just like pants or anything else, and you'll want a size 16 holster. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment.

[coytoy9999]

Thanks so much. We really enjoyed this instructive video.

[filmboy]

is it the desantis pro stealth or the Tuck This? both holds magazines and are inside pants holsters. from what i can see on your video the concealment is amazing.

[CureForIgnorance]

This is the Desantis pro stealth. The Tuck This is basically the same holster only with a J hook to attach it to the belt. This allows you to tuck a shirt in between the gun and your pants.

[filmboy]

what kind of holster is that? great job btw...

[CureForIgnorance]

The brand name is Desantis. Its an inside the belt holster. It holds the gun and a spare magazine keeping most of it below the belt line so just about any untucked shirt will conceal it.

[filmboy]

very cool...i found one for my usp compact, thinking of getting one. thanks man.

[bopaj1]

That is the most professional display of shooting fundamentals I've ever seen. Great job and thanks for the information.

[CureForIgnorance]

Thank you very much for your comment. If you have any questions or suggestions for future videos, please feel free to email me.

Thanks again!

[natep22]

good stuff! Finally someone who actually knows a little about what he's talking about

[AeroPR]

great!
