No matter how times I hear him explain this I still manage to pick up a little something each time and understand that much more. Thanks for all the content!

[@supermario5]

Yeah dude same!

[@aribpm]

I have found if I just close my eyes and let Jesus take the wheel it improves my times.

[@billhicks3415]

I did the doubles drill yesterday. My shots were all over the A zone at first. I occluded my red dot with black tape and put a small piece of black tape in the A zone and started over. I hard focused on the black tape on the target and did the doubles drill again. All my shots could fit within the size of a softball at 10 yards while running about 0.17-0.20 spits. Recoil control is visual. It's pretty damn amazing.

[@musicman1eanda]

My main issue with doubles is grip. The first round of every pair go to the small spot that I'm looking, but the second round will go high about half the time. This is even more the case if my hands are even slightly sweaty outdoors.

[@billhicks3415]

@@musicman1eanda I'm right handed. I struggle with my grip too, specifically my left hand due to an injury (loss of strength). I just squeeze as hard as I can with my left hand and then hold the grip only hard enough with my right to keep the gun from moving in my grip during recoil. I found the grip that works for me after testing it at the range (probably a thousand rounds worth of trial/error) with live ammo and them ingrained this grip in my muscle memory in dry fire for about 2 weeks. I know that my grip is pretty good for me, so when my shots go high or really low it's me looking at the dot.

[@musicman1eanda]

@@billhicks3415 Yeah that's the point that I want to get to. I'm a smaller dude (5ft 6, 130lbs) and sometimes I wonder if my grip strength just isn't high enough because of what I mentioned above and that I feel the gun sliding in my hand sometimes. My left hand palm is usually burning red after a 200rd range session.

@@musicman1eandaI shoot with a local guy that’s small and probably 130 pounds. His arms are so thin. This guy places 1’st very often in the idpa matches I attended even the National ones. No way he has a strong grip strength. Your grip should keep your gun and your hands in sync it won’t ever stop recoil.

[@billhicks3415]

@@musicman1eanda Same. This is why I shoot and carry heavier guns. If the gun is too light then it rotates in my left hand no matter how hard I squeeze. I can only dry fire/shoot for about 20-30 minutes a day otherwise my left forearm/hand starts to ache. It's not what I want but hey, just is what it is.

[@SoloInCamo]

The wife analogy you used was perfect.

[@marknomura7453]

To me it's sorta like shooting baskets: your eyes never break focus on the rim; you don't look at your hands or the ball before you release, and you don't look at the ball in flight. Ideally, you just want to see the ball drop into your field of view and swish!

[@KingMusa99]

Well Great and great point. I as a former athlete couldn't agree more. Imo former athletes that put in the time and work can be much better shooter because of hand eye Coordinator & the way you explained being key factors.

[@Rooster-q3x]

Team iron sights checking in.

[@a2ztacticalacademy]

100%. You're going to hit what you're looking at... with a gun or with a stick, or with your fingers

[@ThatNiceDutchGuy]

Informative, again and again. Thank you! I will crack the red dot brightness down.

[@CC-ii9hg]

Ben, This is my first-ever comment, after hours of your videos, and I just want to say THANK YOU!!

[@rajinbin]

See this explanation is great, if only you did one like this for grip as well because you have one for stands already. I would probably be a happy camper.😅

[@hesko125]

Trick question fuckery love it. Everyone is afraid to say anything lol.

[@omnivore2220]

You keep making sense.

[@crypto1300]

Aloha from Hawaii's 2A community 🤙🏾

[@pugmaw1]

The “Scottsdale Chick” reference cracked me up. We have those in South Tampa, too. Anyway, excellent video for this novice old lady. Thanks, Ben.

[@v1_rotate638]

I live in Scottsdale and it definitely made me chuckle.

[@shuumai]

I'm glad you don't have a Sig P320 holstered because each time you hold the holster below the muzzle I cringe a little thinking about those little money makers. heh

[@mymainelogcabin]

Always a nugget or two that makes it worth watching 👍👍

[@_datapoint]

Please turn up the audio in post production. He is hard to hear in less than quiet environments. Thank you.

[@ScottSeab]

Ha I was thinking how much better this is than usual when folks are shooting in other bays!

[@_datapoint]

@@ScottSeab that we can agree on!

[@onpsxmember]

Turn on the subtitles in that situation.

[@Instruktor_Kaco]

I practise this wife analogy with my shooting team , It was smooth and easy analogy for everyone. Thanks Master and come to Poland again 😉

[@marklovell7481]

Thank you Ben. Your videos are very helpful. 👍👍

[@justinl8455]

[@Andy-hl7gh]
