Is Trigger Control Why You Miss? | Shooting Low Left?

Instruction is so clear it feels like you took shortcut!

[@praisethesunpvp]

100% solved all my issues between the two videos, groupings are absolutely insane now, thank you both!

I purchased a Sig 365 a short time ago. First range visit couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it. Second visit everything was 8" low left. I immediately knew grip and trigger control were my problem. I started concentrating hard on both and did a lot of dry firing. What a great coincidence that your video coincided with my needs. In just a short time I shoot the SIG better than I shot the larger pistols previously. Thanks for these 2 great videos.

[@americandreamer2279]

I think this video along with your accompanying video on the fundamentals of grip are by and far the best and most in depth explanation on the topics I’ve come across. You explain and demonstrate the principles and techniques in an understandable way that genuinely helped me improve my groups and handgun shooting. -signed a former cop

[@myronsenchyshak8025]

Excellent explanation of proper trigger pull and finger placement. Very clear, detailed and practical. This video and the first video on proper grip should help significantly with bettering one’s target groupings. Just great stuff!

[@steelpunisher6944]

Great clear instructions as always guys. Even tho I shoot quite often, you never know what you can learn. Thanks for all the work y'all do.

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

Thank you so much!

[@kpatton-ir9oc]

I've been shooting for a long time but you've been very helpful. There's always room for more learning. Thank you so much

[@KPussGT]

Great followup on the first video. I have been used to rotating my strong hand grip so as to use the tip of my finger to pull straight back thinking I needed to use my fingertip. After watching, I will try to re-position my finger and keep my grip centered.

Thanks for watching and commenting

[@DropItLikeItsScott]

From the grip video you guys made, I changed my grip and my accuracy went up and now I can hit inside the "10" everytime. Thanks guys!

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

Thanks for the feedback Scott see at the IndyNRA event.

[@Yankeeboy704]

Your both unbelievable teachers, love watching your instructional videos and are super helpful.

[@rosapariury9711]

Wow ...thats very informative info . ..I still need lots of training.... Thank you.

[@dirtymike91-i9w]

Great explanation not many talk about that fact finger placement can have on your overall accuracy.

[@Hunter-ym2kk]

i have had this problem with my 1911, it comes and goes, usually goes after a lengthy shoot.. like 200-500 rounds.. muscle memory for me.. great video, thanks..

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

Thanks for watching

[@JP-gw3bk]

What's crazy is i was actually at the range today working on this. And you now you guys put out this video. The RSO help me out.

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

Great to hear! We look forward to it

[@82luft49]

I watched your first video on grip control (I subbed when it was over) and now I'm following up with this trigger control instruction. Excellent. Too bad I can't sub twice.

[@alexkakooza3116]

[@freeyourmind8063]

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

[@Mep9797]

[@PRACERZ]

Very well shown and explained ! IMHO

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

Thank you

[@HWM636]

When you pull the trigger, do you squeeze it with tension and with force until it hits the back, or just give it a light quick bap?

[@AshGreen359]

Holy crap, that finger thing is hard to do. I have the same finger issue as Kim. I have a Beretta 96 and I think it's time to give up on the Crimson Trace grips and get something thinner. I just installed the short reach trigger, I don't see any difference.

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

I feel your struggle! Thanks for watching and -Kim

[@jonlederer9414]

Well said and so true.

[@kevinlittell4009]

I've found that if I stick to my 1911s, K frames and P-35's I hit where I aim. If I shoot striker fired I aim for 1 pm 7 ring and it prints the kill zone. I think it boils down to shooting the gun and knowing the gun in your hand.

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

Thanks for watching and commenting

[@jonmicknono7138]

I see how it’s going to the left and why. But why is also going down? I don’t see how that is happening.

[@FreedomKat]

Another great explanation!!!!

[@hckyplyr72]

This and the grip video is outstanding! Thank you. Shot my new SIG P365 at 7 yards and hitting low left...but riddle me this...with my S&W SDV9E with Apex trigger hitting almost center though slightly low and left? Just smaller pistol exaggerating my trigger discipline? Then another member at the range let me shoot his 1911 and I hit all center 1" high? Got me! lol

[@danbyers8462]

[@RedBeard687]

I do really well up to 10 yards. At 15 yards I’m hitting high left so I have trained myself to aim low right at 15 yards and further. How can I fix this to have point of aim point of impact

[@vern1221]

What kind of holster are you using?

[@realpolicetalk]

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

[@22cheapster]

Great videos part 1 and 2.

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

Thank you!

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

Why is it that with a revolver I can shoot the center out of a target. But with a factory Glock or beretta or Walther or any Stryker fire pistol they all go low left.

[@markdellorusso3152]

It took hundreds of rounds at the range to learn proper finger and trigger control. Practice, practice and more practice

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

Thanks for watching and commenting

[@WaltRBuck]

I may be wrong but people who play piano (or other similar activities) seem like they'd, generally, have better finger control too. Might be interesting to note in the future as a statistic.

[@vanhaus5022]

Kim got some Biggins….

[@johnmedrano5758]

Awesome video Kim. Even tho Neil keeps putting his two cents in.-) But if I was going to ask you a question it would be. Do training laser cartridge work as a training aid? If you want Neil to answer it’s alright by me.

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

Yes, they make great training aids. Even you can't afford the laser, dry fire practice is very important. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@roccofilippi1418]

I will tell you the laser is a great tool. There is a laser on Amazon for under 30 bucks that works fine. If you want an app to use with your phone spend the money and get the I Target set up. Will change the way you shoot in a day because you can see if the laser holds still or moves while pressing a shot.

[@DeathByLego]

Telling people they aren’t wrong when they don’t shoot exactly like you do?!? And still gives them advice and trying to help? Awesome!! I’m kinda confused about myself. I don’t shoot a lot a lot, or really long distances. Probably 30ft at most. When I shoot a pistol (usually an HK-p30) I kinda wrap my whole trigger around it. And when I shoot a rifle, I use just the tip-off it... Is either one wrong.?. Like, actually wrong? I was originally fought to use as little finger as possible. But I saw a professional shooter use his whole finger and kinda changed to it... now I’m wondering if I was right to...

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

You have to figure out what gives you the best results, the goal is to have no movement in the gun. Thanks for watching and commenting

Did I miss a video on why Neil switched from the S&W compact 2.0 to the Glock 19 as a carry gun?

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

He has to carry it for his job, but he still prefers the S&W compact 2.0 by far. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@DDOUBLEYUH]

@@geaugafirearmsacademy I figured it had to do with him being a LEO, does he have to carry it off duty as well or is it just for practicality?

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

@@DDOUBLEYUH he has to carry it off duty as well.

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

@@DDOUBLEYUH he prefers the M&P and Carry's the 19 when has to.

[@possumtrotranch]

Wow guys. How insightful! I’m left handed and have a tendency to shoot low right. Someone told it was the recoil but your explanation makes much more sense. With all the fuss over triggers these days, it’s the finger on the trigger that needs some attention. Thanks!

My problem isn't that I'm shooting low left, it's that I'm shooting low. I can only shoot on target if my trigger press is unreasonably slow.

Since I'm broad-palmed with short fingers, I'd like to see more of Kim shooting too. Her hand size is probably closer to mine than Neil's bear paws. The length of his thumb is amazing. Good video. Again.
