I have learned a lot from all your videos, but this one especially. My husband is a master marksman, and he does okay teaching me, but he takes it for granted that I know things I don't. Then, when I ask questions they don't truly get answered, or he things I wouldn't need answers if I just did what he says. I had gained some accuracy, but our last trip to the range proved futile. I couldn't hit anything. Then, I watched this video, and today, I knew exactly what was wrong. All along, I had "focused on the front sight" like he told me to, but I didn't understand centering it between the two rear sights. Guess why? Because when I asked him why they were there if I wasn't supposed to focus on them, he didn't take me seriously and fully answer my question in a way that I understood, because he says he thought I was joking. But, armed with the information from your video today, I can proudly say I achieved nearly 100% accuracy, hitting where I was aiming.

[@nickferrer9733]

Stav and Mac, as a new shooter, I appreciate this video so much. You guys both touch on a huge thing I've noticed as a beginner, that psychological flinch or overthinking that occurs when I'm trying to shoot at the perfect moment, instead of just accepting a general window of time to pull the trigger. Thank you both so much! Can't wait to get out and put these tips to practice 👍🏼

[@JeepWhealen]

I don’t normally comment a lot on videos but I just had to say that this was one of the most informative shooting and targeting videos I have seen. Thanks for posting this. It helped me out tremendously!

@@claytonbrown7120 Contrived? Well, yes. Isn't that obvious? It's certainly not that they randomly happened across the shooting range with their handguns and camera in tow and spontaneously began to film a shooting video. It was purpose made to teach shooting, so yes, it is contrived. But, if anything, your comment falls more into the ironic definition of contrived than anything in this video. Smh..

Thank you so much for posting this Stav! My fiancé, who unfortunately passed away this January, was a Combat Marksmanship Trainer in the Marine Corps. He was very eager to begin training me to shoot with the Glock 48 he gifted me for Christmas. We went to the range a few times last year so this was a great refresher for me. I feel a little more confident to go to the range on my own after watching this. I’m so glad I found your page. I know my Cesar would have approved of all the knowledge you both shared. Excellent content!! ❤️❤️❤️

Natalie, I’m so so sorry for your loss. I’m friends with Krysta and heard about Cesar’s passing...I wish you the comfort that only God can bring! I’m so glad you liked this video. I’m glad Cesar was able to teach you a bit of firearms training as well. I’m sure those memories will stay with you forever! The Glock 48 is a great gun...he chose well :) never stop learning and keep up the practice!!

Hey Stav! Just wanted to say that I watched this video twice and went to the range after not having shot for 6 + years and I did amazing! Out of 30 shots I only got 2 out of the middle circle. I completely amazed myself. Thank you so much for this video and all your great videos for women and all gun owners.

This is the most incredibly informative video. Yesterday was my first class and range day. I did not fully understand how to line up my sights. Thank you for the detail on trigger control. I’m a right hand shooter and my target looked just like that with a little trail going low left. This video has inspired me. You have a new subscriber. I love this so much!!!

[@marinerskm]

Love this video. In addition to all the reinforcement of excellent shooter attitude and demonstration of an excellent self-training technique, it also provides the perfect counterbalance to the somewhat more common theme of "Gentleman's Carry". The blooper reel is also awesome -- she fears no human assailant, but toss a butterfly at her hair and she's done for. : -)

[@godismyoath6147]

Thank you, Stav! I've taken multiple classes and I must say that I have learned abundantly more from watching your videos. You and Mac make an amazing team creating superb material. I am beyond greatful for what has become my favorite channel ❤

[@loriprains6040]

Thank you so much for this video! Yesterday, I had my CCW renewal qualification. I used your one-hole technique; I let the earth move, tides roll, & rivers flow while my sights gently floated, then "let the gun surprise me". All of my shots, except one, were in the center of the small center circle! The other shot was on the line, just outside the center. I was pretty proud of myself!! Thanks to you & Mac for the great content in your videos. I've recommended your channel to lots of people since I found you.

Wow, nobody ever taught me these drills. Love it. Going to try next time at the range. I always shoot lower left, now I know why. Thanks guys, you are awsome!

I did this drill the other day. I had the same reaction you did at 15:30 when I got the click. I was really surprised how much I was pushing. Mine was a little bit more pronounced than yours. I am so glad that I watched this video and got the dummy rounds as a training aid. I will keep working on relaxing and just letting the gun go bang. I appreciate the content.

[@wmd19421]

Wow, this is the best shooting tutorial I've ever watched. I've shot over 800 rounds but the group was always around the lower-left corner (I'm right-handed). I tried everything on improving my grip but didn't work. After watched this video, I realized my mistake is exact what Mac said in the video. I was waiting for the sight at the center of the target and pulled the trigger. This is how the flinching occurred. I tried the trigger control technique taught by Mac and it worked perfectly. Now I learned "It's ok for the sight movement. Let the gun surprise you". I'm able to put the round right on the center of the target now. Thank you so much.

Exactly! I have wanted a gun for a long time, I finally saved enough to get one. Now that we have open carry here in Oklahoma, I felt it was time. Sadly, I don't have anyone here to help me, when I can, I will take some courses. Also, I am having dealing with some shoulder pain that I am sure would hinder my shooting right now. I have not even loaded my gun yet. Ammo is very hard to find, which worries me. I am excited about learning to shoot. I am 61. Gosh, that is hard for me to even think about. This video was amazing, I will be watching all of hers I can find!

Hi! I have to thank you for this video. I've been shooting in the lower right (as a leftie) with my cc for over a month now, and haven't been able to correct it. This video addressed the exact problem. I went to the range, and worked on the slow trigger squeeze and one hole drill and letting the gun 'surprise' me. In just that one hour at the range, my shots went back to the center, and the groups tightened up. Thanks!!

[@SusanSloate]

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I've struggled with trigger control from the beginning--as Mac said, shooting low left instead of dead center. Now shooting with Stav's Shield, which I love--so much easier than the 11-pound trigger on my S&W revolver!--but still struggling to be light on the trigger. All these videos help; you're doing a great service, Stav!!

[@GodisG00D777]

Love how it was explained that even when the gun is floating a little bit a lot of the times the trigger is pulled when the front sign moves on the target. But then you don’t get a smooth trigger pull and you miss low left( right handed shooter.) I find that happens a lot for myself. This was excellent advice and a great video. I look forward to incorporating these drills the next time I go to the range.

[@bassmangotdbluz3547]

Thank you for that. I have been blaming my grip for my low left issues and I thought my trigger control was good when in fact it is exactly, and textbook I might add, as you said. I overcompensate with the expectation of recoil so I flinch. When I shoot Revolvers in Double Action I watch the hammer come back and the cylinder turn in unison and just as you said I stop at the wall rather than cleanly sweeping through letting it happen whenever it happens. I thought I was being Single Action Jr. Nope, I was just setting myself up for failure. This is good. I have to get to the range, Pronto and put it to practice.

[@tjbohmier46]

After 3 years of watching firearms videos here on KZbin, this one was the most enjoyable and informative.

I don't think I'll ever be a Clint Eastwood, John Wayne or a Charles Bronson type Hollywood movie marksman.

I have not picked up any type of firearm since 1980, these tips added to what I was taught in the service I'm sure will benefit me on. The range. Thank you

[@bjdog42]

I've done these drills before but you just reminded an old dog to get back to basics. Good video as always: thank you Ms. Stav.

[@katortiz7590]

I know this is an older video, but I found your channel recently after an unfortunate situation with a previous stalker being out of jail, and I now need to conceal carry. Bought myself a handgun after a lot of research on what works best for me. I watched this video for some help with my aim and got a fantastic grouping of 5 out of 8 on my first magazine at the range practice with my husband. Thank you for the informative video! I feel like you've really helped my confidence and I will continue to practice to get better!

Girl thank you so much. New gun owner and I learned soooo much from this one video. I really appreciate it. Subbed!

Heather I’m so glad you liked it!! Thanks so much for subscribing :)

Thank you! Going to try these drills! How you hold the gun and Trigger control, sign alignment is KEY!! Will Practiced this at the range.

Really hooked on your channel! One of the BEST and excellent to see a great female student!! GIRL POWER!

Thank you so so much!

I have watched quite a few pistol shooting instructions on the net. And believe me You are the smoothest instructor I’ve ever witnessed anywhere giving shooting instruction. You have such an easy-going personality and very patient instructor that it is so easy to learn from you. And your girlfriend is an exceptional shooter too what a lucky pair you are.

Also, do you suggest against or for Lazer sights?

[@joseinfante7540]

@@Dragon1165 they are okay for beginners to see where your point of impact is but after getting good training remove it because it gives away your location , in case you need to use it in a self-defense situation . Plus you wouldn't want to solely rely on it , batteries to die and and when they do you'll need to fall back to your sight fundamentals .

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

@@Dragon1165 .. Laser sights are best used in low light situation for quick point shooting ,, hip shot or one hand shot from concealment or ground position,, in a defense shooting at distance (to give away location) is probably not a legal defense fight...

Has to be the best tutorial I’ve seen regarding range shooting and practice. Thank you so much Stav and Mac!

[@kennethsundman4872]

That is a real great practice lesson. I´m going to the range with my buddies and repeating this. Thx to you both. /Kenneth/Sweden

So glad you liked it Kenneth!

Hi. I am from South Africa. Sore many overseas training and in many times it was more for professionak. This video is so good as it cater for everyone. Thank you so so much. I will make sure that many of my friends and family follow you whenever they can.

[@mcomeslast]

I will be trying these at the range next week. The ranges in our area require a holster class before we can draw unsupervised. But that’s coming up, lol. Yup, my target looked like his left lung and liver were sprayed with buckshot. Just bought some dummy rounds today to practice the mag change and dry fire exercises.

[@imthatguy1878]

A holster class? Never heard of such a thing. Our club we are the range safety officers, we police ourselves

[@mcomeslast]

Paul Hokinson I’m sure it’s an insurance thing in our state as I haven’t found a range without it since we moved back. I keep a training log but don’t think it is transferable to another range here. It isn’t long and the one without it said just hire one of the trainers for an hour or so. Without the check off you are only allowed to be in low ready or lay the firearm down on the bench. I’m going to practice the drill at home and then get the check off.

[@johnerickson2604]

I tried this and I have to say it worked. thank you for the free training Mac is a very good trainer. I'll continue to do this exercise to improve even better again thank you.

[@DonnyGT]

You and your husband are one heck of a team. Thanks for this!

[@dilbertbob5420]

Wow, I learned something today. Mac describing how people "stage" the trigger and it causes them to hit low, left if they are right handed. I didn't know that applied to a semi-automatic. When using a revolver, staging the trigger actually helps me to hit what I'm aiming at. Great video!!

[@dreamxl696]

“Drift over the target” That’s exactly what I’ve been doing wrong! I shoot anywhere from a 246 to a 205 on the federal course and had no idea why the inconsistency.. somehow my instructors never caught it.. Now I’m excited for my next re-qual

[@franknguyen1059]

New gun owner here. I've watched many videos on how to improve your shooting accuracy and just stumbled upon this video. After watching videos after videos and close to 1000 rounds on a range, my shooting got improved but not much. All the videos were emphasizing on grip and trigger control, but none mentioned about physical state of your mind. After watching your video, one thing really stands out "Let the gun surprises you". I've noticed that when I pull the trigger and anticipate a bang, my gun muzzle dips just like you said. When I let the gun surprises me, my accuracy goes up big time, even with double tap. 7 out of 10 shots were dead center at 15 yards. That's a big deal for new gun owner :-). Thank you so much. You guys are awesome

[@chriscoleconst]

Thank you for doing what you do! This is the type of knowledge that every gun owner needs and it's awesome that you're putting it out there. Even though it seems like a simple task it is a very very important mental and physical drill that would make everybody a better shooter. I even think that it should be a class everyone should have to take in order to get a concealed weapons permit!

[@SheEquipsHerself]

So much of it is mental! Thanks for the support :)

[@tallrugger]

Very nice. This really helps me on my marksmanship journey. I’ve owned a gun for years, but didn’t take training seriously til this year. We moved to the country and I have a range in my back yard now. Gonna use what I learned here in my training.

[@JS-ts8hi]

Perfect - exactly what I needed to see right now. I recently went the the range for the first time and had been wondering why all my shots went down and to the left (right handed). I'll definitely be practicing the "one hole" drill next time. Thanks for the great tips.

[@SheEquipsHerself]

So glad it was helpful!

[@mack7882]

You two did an excellent video, very clear and concise, not hurried and very informative and useful.

[@johnalbanese9735]

One of the best instructional shooting videos I've seen. good job!

[@dllpalmer]

I have found this Handgun Accuracy | Hit what you're aiming at! so easy to understand and utilize that I saved it to my favorites, and so that I can share it with others who are interested in learning to shoot, both friends & family. Thanks for putting this out there for us. We will all be benefitting tremendously from this in the future!
