How To Fix Your Recoil Anticipation Problem (Dry Fire)

[@bergtechautomotive8886]

Not ashamed to admit that I've always had horrible shot anticipation. Your series of back to basics have helped tremendously so I extend my gratitude for all the time and energy in publishing these videos; helping all of us to become better shooters.

[@SaundersE5]

Guilty as well

Welcome to the club. Admitting there's a problem is the first step towards healing.✌🏾😉

Someone gave me a mind/physical technique that helps with movement. What he said is imagine in your mind that your finger is pulling the front sight, straight through the rear sight to you eye. Utilizing this technique really cleaned up the flyers.

I like the trick I learned on this channel to count to 5 but let the bang go off at 3 👌🏻

[@johntraverso3095]

this is the best instruction i've seen yet! please keep this program going John

[@flamephlegm]

This is why having a smooth trigger is so important.

Snap caps mixed in with live ammo really helped my wife. What a difference it made with her shooting.

[@nucleargrizzly1776]

What worked for me is the old practice of mixing in a few dummy rounds in a full mag. I still do it occasionally.

[@stellocut99]

I just got that idea like last week. Gotta buy some snap caps.

I appreciate your attention to detail and your way of breaking the foundations of pistol shooting, explaining how everything builds on top of the past lessons has really made getting better more manageable.

I found that my issue was holding the trigger back after the break, and letting it reset too slowly. I would then eagerly follow up with the next shot, anticipating it. You made another video about that as well, and it really helped! Thanks!

[@brocktovar4523]

Great content as always. Have a friend pull that trigger while you're focusing on the sight alignment sight picture piece, you'll quickly see if you're lacking in the mental capability. Good stuff

[@danjewell2612]

That was very interesting. Thank you so much.

[@ericrumpel3105]

Another great video full of well-explained info. !! Thanks fer sharing !!...Hope ya keep'em com'n....

[@blakebeckcom1574]

I always learn much with your content. Great series. Thank you

[@romeoeric2536]

Another great video especially for a beginner like me. Thanks.

[@Valorius]

More dry fire is the answer to almost everything gun related

[@dtna]

I was taught to not anticipate the break. Using the "Compressed Surprise Break" method.

[@562handsomemike]

Thank you

[@jimkeef]

Great video - especially for new shooters….

[@Glazpol]

Again great advice! Thanks

Question about relaxing: are you relaxing the body but also gripping the gun hard as you would live fire? I find the dichotomy of 'relaxing the body' but gripping the gun as I'm supposed to challenging.

[@Sanguivore]

What brand of undershirt is that, Myles?

[@artwebb6939]

Something I started doing that seems to be helping quite a bit is a lot of ball and dummy work with a 22 LCR loaded with CB caps Also doing the majority of my live fire drills with that same setup So even when I do get a bang, it's a tiny pip squeak little bang that doesn't bother me YMMV

[@locustsun]

I know you mentioned pre-recoil movement, but would immediate post-trigger movement be a concern? In my mind, the pressure propelling the projectile escapes the barrel and if you make a twitch movement upon firing you change the trajectory of the shot by introducing vectoring on the bullet. Maybe it's negligible, but I was always taught to hold 1-2 seconds...granted, holding and being stiff can be an issue.

[@51TomasLopez50]

Post trigger movement must be so fast to even change the trajectory 0.00001 inches. It all before the striker hits the bullet.

[@hawaiiangunner]

Recoil anticipation. The cure? Start shooting USPSA! And do it as often as you possibly can. You will become more worried about shooting in the a Zone and doing it quickly then worrying about recoil.

[@ABTV556]

If I can stop this one thing, my shooting will sky rocket. I’m consistently low left. I started doing my own vids and when I don’t have a round and pull the trigger; I’m pushing the gun down and didn’t really know I was doing it until I fired with no rounds in a match. Thought it was my red dot but it’s ALL ME. I can level up if I can get this remediated 🤦🏽‍♂️
