 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're going to talk about one-handed shooting this video is called the art of One-hand shooting because it is a skill that many people don't practice It's important to note that two-hand shooting is the way to go if you have a chance to use both hands That's what we're most comfortable with that's what we train with it is best to go in that direction Some people may hold on to something whether it be a phone a Drink or some something of that effect you want to drop that immediately and go To two-hand shooting however there are times when we are forced to use only one hand be it an injury or Maybe holding ourselves in support Somehow or holding a kid back behind us. We have to shoot one-handed So it's important to train. It's important to learn some mechanics so that we can be proficient and effective When shooting one-handed the handgun we're using is a Springfield Ronin EMP in nine millimeter It's important to note that we should use the similar mechanics that we would with two-handed shooting However, it is a natural response to thrust forward with the same leg Moving forward when one-handed shooting if we take our finger and point we notice that our hand is actually canted To slightly can't the gun to align those sights works for me. Some people may keep it a little more straight I like to can't it just a little bit at your sights are your sights and that Is what you're relying on for accuracy so I lead forward and You may notice I'm a little bit closer if you look at baseball players when they warm up They they warm up rather close to each other until they get a nice Strong feeling of throwing the ball. Well, I think the same thing applies when shooting especially one-handed shooting You're not going to get the accuracy that you would but anywhere on the body is combat effective So I'm I'm only about eight yards away. I'm going to attempt to run the plate Those are eight-inch plates and I'm I'm okay with that because I know that the shots that I missed were not that far off One-handed shooting is about proficiency Not necessarily small groups. You want it. You want to make your shots. You want to feel confident You want to see that that shot straight through to the target and using strong tight Control will get you there when two-handed shooting it's standard to put two thumbs forward That thumb is raised when one-handed shooting It's best to drop that thumb to support in this case the left side of the pistol So instead of the thumb high. I'm gonna drop the thumb low and that way I have support all around the pistol the best that I can considering It's with one hand We talked about the importance of a good strong grip to support the gun when shooting one-handed however, it's also equally as important for that strong grip to prevent a system stoppage which requires a Removal of that case and to recharge and everything else that will be very difficult one-handed It can be done. However, we're talking about the importance of a good strong We all know when shooting a pistol that we take both hands and we grip around The handgun with a nice firm grip well with one hand clearly you don't have your opposite hand a common belief though So long as you're not injured is that gripping this hand will actually force a tighter grip on the pistol It's a human response to do that. So I'm going to do that now I'm going to tighten this up. It gives me a more natural feel. I slightly can't the gun Gripping the pistol just a little more earlier I used the baseball analogy of warming up their arm and then eventually backing up I'm not 20 yards away even more important to focus on the fundamentals key in on those sights and shoot with confidence I've got a Silhouette back there at about 20 yards. I'm going to thrust forward keep a tight wrist slight can't on the One of the points that often gets overlooked is that we don't practice with our secondary hand in this case It would be my left hand. We shoot with our primary hand We one hand practice with our primary hand, but not so much the other hand So I'm going to do that now. I got closer once again building that confidence But I'm going to shoot with my left hand using the same mechanics that were just discussed Earlier and I will say that that did not feel Natural, but it's not meant to feel natural. That's why it requires practice I was able to hit a silhouette from approximately eight yards, which in my eyes is pretty good It's so important to understand that you will not get the same type of Impact and groupings that you would with two-handed shooting But one-handed shooting is an art in and of itself It does require practice some basic mechanics slight changes while trying to keep everything as Normal as possible and I think with some time and some practice and put some energy into it You will become a proficient one-handed shooter if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
