Sight Picture with Julie Golob

[@ronaldguarnieri4503]

One of the best explanations I have ever heard. Thank you, Julie

[@juliegolob]

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@prestonarnold5094]

That's because men can't explain Jack shit.

[@brianmoore1164]

One of the best explanations and instruction on this subject I have ever seen. No razzle dazzle, just good solid facts on how to do it right.

[@SusanSloate]

Excellent video. I got my first gun in June and couldn't figure out why I never seemed to hit the target, and this explanation is a fantastic answer. I had help with my aim a month ago and really saw the difference from my first shots, and now I'm committed to this technique. Thanks for the simple but powerful explanation!!

[@markbellamy4407]

Darn good information. Tried it out and it helped tremendously

[@juliegolob]

YAY!!! Glad to hear it!

[@louisv7795]

Wow Julie, that's why all these years I'v been missing the mark. At New York State Dept. Of Correction beck in the '80's they taught us about the space between the front and rear sights, but were never told about super impose the front sight over the target but put the top of the level rear and front sights across the middle of the target. Close, but no cigar. AS always. Thank you for great advice!! Never too old to relearn.

[@davidmartin3255]

Down to earth practical and straight shooting. Nicely done

[@mcdulph]

Really explained well! Thanks for breaking things down to a true beginner level.

[@tashibawatkins9289]

This video was so good for me thank you so much

[@murrayjimm]

Right-handed but left eye dominant? Close the right eye or keep both open?

[@johnreacher3756]

An easy way of remembering is this, "Equal height, equal light". Referring to the height of the post being the same as the height of the rear sight, and the equal amount of light that you want to either side of the front post.

[@markwiteck7848]

This the best hand gun aiming video I've ever seen. My first gun is a M&P9 1.0 so I might be a little bias. Thanks again

[@alexwilcox9559]

Simple yet very helpful. Thank you, will try soon!

[@abritton7575]

Awesome vid Darlin !! Beginner here ! First class and range last night ! Got the Glock 45 Gen 5 / 9mm . I was getting frustrated , as at times I was close to target but as I continued shooting was way off . I think I was pulling trigger too rapid rather then than a slow gradual ease into trigger pull . Great tips !

[@luvdacurvyones]

I was doing the same thing, then I uncrossed my eyes and was back on target! 😄👍

[@Arendvdvenk]

Thanks!

[@juliegolob]

:) Thanks for watching!

[@jimdickert8672]

Very clear, and very well-said !

[@edwardpnts]

Great information! Thank you

[@5padeZ6]

Thanks Julie 👌🏼

[@richrod944]

Thank you, I really like the explanation. it makes it easy to understand.

[@25N77]

I’m older and require prescription glasses including progressive lenses. When I attempt to get a sight picture and then transition my focus to the front sight, I must press my head back to get my glasses into a position to focus on that front sight. It’s very uncomfortable and requires more motion on my part. I can usually hit the target but, of course, the grouping is very wide. To compensate, I’ve learned to shoot with both eyes open and get as good of a sight picture as I can then focus on the target. Again the groups are wide but I’m on target and can shoot faster with less body motion. If there is a better way for older shooters, I’m all ears. And, yes, I have a pistol with a red dot as well as my carry gun, Compact 2.0 9mm, with just iron sights.

[@jithuraj3086]

Thank you for the valuable information ❤

[@DeputyNordburg]

Best video I've seen on the topic.

[@jamesmikkelson7636]

excellent explanation

[@marsoelflaco5722]

Julie's a delight!!!✌👍

[@Bklynpimpstress]

My main issue is im right hand dominant but for some reason in left eye dominant and i wear glasses for vision but even using both of my eyes to try to sight my left eye takes over and i gotta try to favor that side more.

[@fivepoint5sicks]

I recently bought an M&P 9 2.0 full-size. It is bar far (IMO) the best and most comfortable pistol I have ever used. However, I was not pleased with the iron sights. It drove me nuts, that when you line up the top of the front post with the top of the rear sight, the dot on the front post does not sit parallel with the 2 dots on the rear. The front dot sits higher up, making it inconvenient to use in low light. I ended up installing the self luminous Trijicon HD iron sights. Everything lines up flawlessly and makes this pistol even better and more accurate for me.

[@tewksburydriver8624]

Great explanation.

[@daaaayoh]

Great info here for new shooters especially. I've been having trouble finding info on whether S&W Shield Plus is calibrated for center hold or combat hold from the factory. The manual doesn't appear to mention it. I don't yet own a Shield Plus, but was surprised to find that my Sig P365 was calibrated at the factory for combat hold (after shooting low with a center hold sight picture). Back in the 1980's when I first started target shooting with handguns, everything was center hold, and that was what I was used to. These days, it appears that combat hold is prevalent. For M&P Shield Plus, which is it from factory? Center or combat hold?

[@josephdaniel761]

Thank you

[@CBCapt]

Great Tip!

[@afiatikembar3998]

hi julie..i just want to ask, where the bullet will hit when we focus on front sight,is it behind the white dot or at the top of front sight? thanks in advance

[@connieanderson4399]

Works Great! One way I can tell is to NOT see the top of the gun. You should only see the three dots. Does that make sense?

[@citizenx4750]

Well done well explain

[@spyroskaroympalis7685]

THANK YOU!!!

[@JA-ey4uk]

Julie, what kind of bullets do you recommend to practice for a beginner (for example:plastic..?)

[@TheNewKG]

I honestly enjoyed the bugs in the back

[@fjrholdings]

Awesome

[@svenandaas8781]

Does the forward white dot cover the intended target? Or does the intended target sit on top of the forward site stick to form a lollipop image?

[@USCFI]

Julie, have you ever noticed that with a lot of three dot sights if you line up the top of the front sight with the top of the rear sight, the dots will not be lined up? ( the front dot will be slightly high) If you line up the dots instead... the point of impact will be slightly lower.

[@juliegolob]

Yep... I find 3-dot sights useful for beginners learning sight picture because you can say, "ok, just line those dots in a row." Using the dots is fine for fast, close stuff as you won't see that much difference with your hits on the target. As you move the target back though, that's when paying attention to those corners and the bars of light is so important. Thanks so much for watching!

[@USCFI]

@@juliegolob You are the best!

[@yacaattwood2421]

what about eye dominance? I struggle to see the front sight, being nearsighted, a 1958 Baby 😎, left eye dominant and right handed

[@johnsmith-by3yg]

1911a1 Springfield 45 loaded, 230 round nose hitting high 4 inches at 25 yards, can i adj sigh pitcher or have to rase front sight, rear adj l/r.?

[@dangoleshootnetwork6036]

Thank you for the video. So, every time I line up my front post with the rear notch site so that it forms a flat line, I feel like the slide of my pistol is pointing down and not level with the target. I will look at the profile of my slide while I'm doing this, and it does seem to be pointing down instead of being level. Do I just need to forget this, and trust that when I fire the shot, the gun is going to be level?

[@ohenry4834]

Thanks...

[@Rickugg]

Hello::: WOW I did not know you were on the tube !!! I am guy with almost new Model 59 S&W. Love the way you explained put front sight on target. You make it sound too easy. LOL I probably need Mini Sticky Notes "Dollar Tree". To aim at !! Sub and Like,,,YES

[@victorv4340]

I have a S&W 44 mag. do I put the top of the red on the front sight in the middle of the rear site?

[@jasestrong]

Julie what is your most loved S&W?

[@jayfordamania6047]
