You can dryfire a glock without a snapcap.

After 2000 rounds shot, I still find myself a lousy shooter thorn between bullseye and IPSC shooting. I'll have to practice wtihout closing an eye. Thanks for the tutorial!

[bombilla42]

Hey, Mike... When you're aiming down the sight do you wink one eye closed? I do, but I haven't seen comp shooters do this.

[kickedintheballs2000]

No as a competition speed shooter closing one eye will simply slow you way down. I shoot more of a Combat & tactical style using both eyes open and staying low and trying to keep the weight of my body spread out.

Shooters like Bulleye Shooters shoot way different , like closing one eye, standing tall and controlling breathing is key to these shooters.

[bombilla42]

Okay... well, that had to be weird when you first started shooting, right? I mean, isn't the natural inclination to shoot with one eye closed? How'd you work out shooting "tactically"? Was this skill accomplished simply through "practice, practice, practice"???

Thanks for the awesome vid, dude. Rock on, man!

[kickedintheballs2000]

At first yes it was a little weird but I kind of have a nack for shooting handgun now and within a week or 2 and had it down pretty well. Shooting fast and tactically is mostly about like you said Practice ,Practice ,Practice.

I've always found shooting rifle & shotgun pretty easy but switching over to pistols was a somewhat larger learning curve but given time you'll get it down. A 22 conversion kit for your handgun is a really good thing to have right now due to ammo.

Can't hear you at all

I point my thumbs at the target but I also shoot a 92FS more than my G19. With the glock I overlap my thumbs and try to keep them low.

[kramotakra]

one thing that was shown and but not 'mentioned' is the left hand grip. I had to correct myself after years of shooting and I assume others may do so too. The left hand is canted/angled such that if the fingers are extended, they point almost 45 degrees to the floor. The way-orward placement of the left thumb is a good check

This maximizes finger to finger contact, let the base of the left hand closer to the barrel, which reduces torgue from the recoil and ultimately better recovery

Nice tutorial..

Only thing I missed was at the part of the draw, that maybe you should've added that the way you draw also depends on the type of holster you are wearing. f.e. my draw while wearing a Fobus holster is different then when I'm wearing one from safariland. Very important as each type of holster has a different retention level and safeguard.

otherwise a very useful tutorial for the newbies and advanced shooters in one !

[kickedintheballs2000]

Yes you are very right many types of retention holsters will be much slowwer then others without retention but I did make this clip for another competition shooter and in competition 99% of shooters have little to no form of retention but you made a very good point.

great vid

how cold is it in your house?

what state do u live in?

its cooler inside than outside here only because its 80 degrees outside in mid january

[kickedintheballs2000]

Thats not in my house that out in my little wood working pole barn and I'm in Michigan its 10 degrees here. Thanks for watching

[CMLovejoy]

This is an awesome video, and your an awesome shooter.

One thing that you didn't mention is that I see a lot of people at the range lean forward or back when shooting. Your shoulders should be square with your knees. You can see the correct way of shooting, when he does drills in part 2.

[kickedintheballs2000]

Ya I know I would miss a few things but I think a got most of the info down. Thanks for watching man

[TheGnomeLocker]

Honestly I hate the way you stand. Your making such a large profile, your a barn.

I always stand, left foot back, right foot forward, shoulders square at about a 45. This presents a small target, and I can move in any direction in a hurry while maintaining a good site picture.

No offense to you, but your stance is a competition stance for maximum accuracym but not good for defence. (btw im in oregon, nuff said.)
