3 Tips for Better Trigger Control with World Champion Mike Seeklander - Going Tactical ep24

[@gowilsoncombat]

We want to hear from you! Did you find this video helpful? Are you going to try it out at the range?

[@AndyCigars]

Yes...for sure think that I am gripping/firing...good to know that they need to be split up. Cheers!

[@davidmiller8924]

Absolutely. Thinking I may have found some more bad habits! Thanks much!

[@imgoatmunk7903]

Absolutely like this content.

[@AndiRose21]

Absolutely, yes.

[@Swamp-y]

Yes

[@terrycostakis6284]

The channel content with Wilson, Ayoob, Seeklander and Hackathorn is some of the best informative and instructional content that I've seen. Thank you.

[@brianerwin9997]

This is the best trigger advice that I've seen! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

[@gowilsoncombat]

You're so welcome!

[@hez9028]

Love this kind of content Mike. This has helped a lot of become a better shooter. Thanks much for the knowledge share.

[@RamPatriot]

I think through dry firing practice that I’ve discovered an improvement in my pistol accuracy. I think that I have not been applying enough pressure in my grip. I see less movement during dry firing with more grip pressure. Can’t wait to get back to the range to prove my suspicion.

[@grungeface]

Get that suppprtvhand all up in the frame

[@fonix127]

good video. straight to the point. "grip then pull" "good trigger control is good grip control" is a golden nugget.

[@SPin2091]

Love this kind of content...

[@range-randy8148]

Good fundamentals and practice make good shooters. Good stuff...thanks

[@glenngordon2792]

Great way of explaining the fundamentals. I just need to practice them more.

[@hmmreally620]

Great advice! As an instructor I love learning more to help me shoot better and teach others to shoot better

[@ryanpeck3377]

Great tips. I’ll add that when he mentions gripping during firing a big culprit for many is gripping/squeezing with the pinky. People dont apply enough pressure wi5 the pinky until they are also pulling the trigger and when that pinky applies pressure it pulls the muzzle low and left

[@douglassalley9117]

When I apply pressure with nmy pinky as I raise my gun it brings my red dot down from 12 o'clock. Then I don't have to be looking for it. I feel like my pinky decreases the travel of my barrel. I just started thinking about my pinky recently, now you say it causes problems....lol

[@nickbeckwith6211]

Amazing segment, great rules for speed and accuracy improvement and concise enough that they can be consciously applied at the range. Mr. Seeklander you are not only a champion performer but instructor as well. Also Love the Hackathorn and Ayoob content. Thank you WC.

[@robertbiermann4666]

Working on my trigger control for competitive shooting. This was very helpful.

[@jeffreyelliott622]

PROPER instruction utilizing grip, quick reset, finger placement control and now it's time to practice dry firing !!!!

[@samuelmatos-2ndamendmentad41]

I enjoy your instructions very much. There is always something I can learn from a shooter of your caliber.

[@pappamike6231]

I would like to see more of Mike on the Wilson Combat channel.

[@rogerpeters2671]

I would like to see some advancing shooting shooting on the move

[@bryanmcdermott4204]

Small details to focus on are greatly appreciated.

[@cheapolegunguy]

I like it, I love it, I want more of it!!

[@brianthornton5345]

Great content on Willson Combat channel

[@egmjag]

I subscribed today even though I've seen videos on this channel featuring Masad Ayoob. But I hadn't seen these type of videos before, which are very valuable, easy to understand, and to the point. The brevity of the videos allow me to understand sufficiently without getting bored or confused with information overload. I am not new to guns but I am not even a beginner in conceal carrying. I purchased my first subcompact, a S&W Shield chambered in .40, about 6 years ago. I modified it by stippling it, replacing the guide rod and spring, porting it, and adding a Crimson Trace light-green laser My plans to conceal carry it never materialized because of my improper understanding of the right to bear arms. I was denied a permit because I'm not part of the elite that is issued one without question. Because I live in one of the worst counties and states of the US, I was conditioned to believe that a permit was necessary to exercise a basic civil right. Hopefully I'll be able to find an instructor like Mike so I can recondition myself to practice and enjoy shooting once again, and learn valuable new skills.

[@gowilsoncombat]

Welcome aboard!

[@tomanderson6140]

This guy is a great speaker/instructor.

[@mikemc330]

Mike provides some of best firearms instruction on the tube!

[@jamesmiller8591]

I always watch these videos they are very good and I always come away with something new

[@daveshadenuff187]

This was very helpful,and well explained.I am working on my grip,and trigger control.I have been struggling,but seem to be getting better with it the more I shoot.This video explained things pretty well,and it was straight to the point.I am glade I ran across it.

[@DanielERodriguezMusic]

Thank you for the cool tips.

[@danschneider745]

Good stuff...will work on it Monday. 👏

[@dannyd4578]

Good video, it's great to revisit these points periodically no matter who you are or how long you've been shooting , Thanks

[@Swamp-y]

Thank you . 🇺🇸

[@natejackson4791]

Good information, maybe add a demonstration in the next part of the series

[@gowilsoncombat]

Will do

[@Hawk-ODA212]

Great job explaining trigger control accurately and precisely.

[@gowilsoncombat]

Thanks!

[@rubinbegeja]

Maintaing the 90 grade pressure on the trigger is a real challenge as the hands of people are different and distance of travel of the trigger is different and the weight of the trigger is different and the reset travel is different. That's the reason some people shoot better some guns than other ones

[@mytake7436]

Great information as always

[@joshuaborchardt1005]

Very useful especially about the good definition of what actual prepping of the trigger is thanks.

[@gowilsoncombat]

Glad it was helpful!

[@8Nguy1948]

I always need to try to improve my firing sequence . So yes , I will definitely try this at the range and yes I liked this video very much.

[@paulgrogan8032]

Outstanding....a excellent reminder that its just the fundamentals mastered.

[@brysonfitzgerald5238]

Thank you for this! Easy points to remember.

[@gowilsoncombat]

You bet!

[@getjacked107]

love the techniques, u make it look effortless

[@gowilsoncombat]

Thanks so much

[@tomcoleman1962]

Thank you for the tips. I will try these out at my range this week. Especially, not to grip and pull at the same time.

[@gowilsoncombat]

You bet!

[@stephencolley334]

Gripping and pulling at the same time is commonly referred to as "milking" the gun /grip.

[@drenk7]

Excellent advice. I will try this tomorrow. Both dry fire and actually firing.

[@alexsuarez1933]

Thank you for this valuable information, we never stop learning. Especially coming from someone who fires alot more than the average person. Thanks for sharing

[@gowilsoncombat]

Very welcome

[@joshroten3997]

Good stuff. There is no such thing as too much training, so long as it’s good training!

[@gowilsoncombat]

Absolutely!

[@clairesnodgrass391]

A frequent review of basics is very helpful. Rx

[@soujrnr]

My wife and I are very new to pistol shooting. Today we went to the range after watching this video and saw immediate improvement. Today was only our third time at the range. I have experience only with long guns from 22 years in the military, but virtually no experience with handguns. I was shooting my Bersa Thunder .380. With the exception of one bad shot, the other seven shots were all within 1" or less of each other at about five meters. I know it's not phenomenal, but it's only my third time at the range. I've shot a total of 100 rounds. I look forward to more fantastic tips so that I can learn things right the first time and not have to unlearn bad habits! My wife was shooting a Ruger LCP II .22 and she noticed improvement in her shooting as well! It's always fun to see marked improvements in activities after learning new tips and tricks! Thanks so much!!

[@geoffreyarnold7292]

At 74 with a compromised right wrist, I gave my wonderful Bersa Thunder 380 to my son and switched to 22. I found that my Ruger LCP II 22 was much improved by adding the Tandemkross Wingman + 4 magazine extension due to better grip control. However I get better groups with my Bersa Thunder 22 because my LCP has a 7.8 lb trigger pull. My favorite is the $200 Keltec P17 which shoots great, isn't as ammo picky as the Bersa, and has about a 3 lb trigger pull wt. Love the P17!

[@rossg4788]

Great Pro-Tips. Thanks!

[@gowilsoncombat]

Glad it was helpful!

[@roykiefer7713]

Really good advice, thank you.

[@gowilsoncombat]

Glad it was helpful!

[@2greeksandacamera]

We LOVE Wilson Combat channel, this is EXCELLENT and so we just shared it with many.

[@gowilsoncombat]

Great!

[@timewen3660]

Extremely informative as always ! As new pistol shooters, my wife and I are looking for solid information from people who know what they are talking about and can share info in a manner that is easily understood - Mike does that ! Please keep up this kind of amazing content . Thanks Mike ! 👍

[@jdmack1]

Thank you, good stuff 👍

[@gowilsoncombat]

You bet

[@r8drvr819]

Yes! You were very clear, very simple, very good reasons for the guidance! Excellent!

[@gowilsoncombat]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robertcamper3043]

Thanks Mike, for the grip control tips. For some reason I’ve always had that problem. Great video.

[@gowilsoncombat]

No problem 👍

[@unclecracker5010]

A HUGE thanx to WILSON COMBAT. All your videos on from shooting tips to self defense scenarios have made me a better shooter in the 2 and a half years I've been shooting!!! Life saving content!!!

[@joshpomponio2993]

Anything for better shooting show it great vid thanks

[@dandavis7565]

Glad to see you also teaching with a mix of compacts and subcompacts. I am of the impression that most newbies are buying high-capacity polymer subs for EDC which makes those particular videos all the more relevant and practical for meeting their needs.

[@gowilsoncombat]

Right on

[@luloadventure]

Good Tips, the last one is very interesting for me. I have to check that the next time in the Range. Thank you Mike.

[@gowilsoncombat]

You bet

[@bobroberson9286]

Thanks.

[@gowilsoncombat]

You're welcome

[@allens4974]

Thank you for this video.. Thank you so much for #2. I am so tired of watching shooting videos and hearing that trigger reset. Also, thank you for #3 as well. I have recently started to teach people about shooting and number 3 gives me something else to watch for when others are shooting.

[@laughingdog6010]

I love it

[@MrJlpzjr]

Good stuff explained very well

[@gowilsoncombat]

Glad it was helpful!

[@danielwatson4653]

Very helpful. The more time I spend practicing these tips combined with dry fire & Dime drills, the better I shoot. Thanks!

[@neo_i.r.l2357]

Very helpful 👌🏾 keep it coming

[@gowilsoncombat]

Thank you! Will do!

[@colinholley6235]

Thanx man! Applied the grip then pull method and had my best qualifying score yet, with way improved grouping. Life’s about getting a credit and gotta give ya one for sure! Great content!

[@stephenhair5501]

Some great Tips Mike. Thanks for sharing.

[@gowilsoncombat]

Thanks for watching!

[@randallchuck6376]

Thank you for the various videos. Because of them, my accuracy and consistency has really improved. Videos are concise and visual. Thank you again.

[@loganeayrs4088]

This was great

[@mikeklim8679]

I love this type of content keep it coming

[@mauricepitt5074]

I love this because i wanted to work on my follow up shots.

[@Bandit-e3v]

Video was very helpful. Will review it from time to time til it becomes second nature to me.

[@gowilsoncombat]

Great!

[@sisleymichael]

"How To "is fantastic stuff. People like to learn. We also do not realize all the time when we let bad habits sneak in.

[@MichaelCugudda]

Love this content Mike!

[@winstonbuzon]

I don't like it... I LOVE IT! These methods have actually given me more accurate shots than before watching this video! These techniques is what I'd like to see more of!

[@macgregordespitethem7933]

Good video, looking forward to the series.

[@freenewlife8]

Wow! Thanks for this, and I love this kind of content! My shooting is benefitting greatly! Love it!

[@M1911jln]

I was taught the old NRA dogma of "follow-through" on the trigger -- that is, pinning the trigger to the rear after you have shot. As Mike points out, that slows down follow-up shots. It is one of the hardest habits for me to break. Follow-through might make sense for bullseye shooting, but it's not helpful for action shooting.

[@joegarrison2344]

Same here. So much to learn, right?!

[@Paladin1873]

At very close range on large targets you might be right, but as the distance increases, your accuracy will rapidly fall off. Follow-through helps eliminate flinching and aids in calling the shot. With practice you can speed up this process, but if you abandon it, your accuracy will suffer. Sometimes speed has to be dialed down, depending on the range and difficulty of the shot. I do not train to shoot one single scenario, so I always try to practice the fundamentals when the target is more than a few feet away.

[@JT-ht6fk]

I only teach pining back for just the first shot for about 5 rounds or so for a new shooter. It helps to reinforce them keeping the gun out there while it recovers back to the sight picture. It carries over into subsequent rounds.

[@geezrfpv8348]

Trigger hold for beginners and marksmenship. To shoot fast listen to Mike!!
