My question to you is what about fast accurate shooting? Same technique of multiple walls or the first wall only? Thanks again great video

[@jasonyi5851]

@@jaymoney5679 Your question is the best one so far lol, do you think you be able to find the 2nd or 3rd wall, if some one is shooting at you? I don't care even if someone is the world champion shooter. Find a good gunsmith who can get rid of 2nd and 3rd wall, if your trigger has more than 1 wall.

New shooter here, I’ve struggled w accuracy. Ive watched videos of grip, trigger finger movements. Shooting low and left with a bunch of dry fire. But no improvement in the field. This video brought it all together for me. It was the missing link in the chain. Thanks guys.

[@phyconinga]

"This technique will literally improve your accuracy within minutes if you put it into practice and you understand it. But, Rest assured that once someone learns this probably within a day most shooters will see marked improvement." Thank you for showing this to me. I am a novice shooter, just got my p365 a few days ago and my accuracy has been underwhelming for the first 250 rds. My group at 5 yds is about 1ft. Most falling low and left, yes you know why already, and I knew about this too but I still didn't "feel" like I was really pulling my trigger that hard but I was. I'm not a big strong guy, I don't have strong hands but this trigger is way heavier than all rifles and guns I've shot. Yesterday was night- today it was day. It suddenly clicked and my accuracy went from hitting a metal silhouette target 250 rds at 5yds only 50 to 60% to hitting near 100% on the next 80 rds and even pushing back to 20yds without difficulty then just to see if I could to 40yds only 50% there though still not bad. It works you can do it if I can.

[@maxcorder2211]

I recently got back into shooting regularly and I was having difficulty with consistency and accuracy. A couple of weeks ago I attended a handgun class with a well-known instructor and my shooting was terrible. I did not get the help I needed to improve other than I need to work on it. The problem was recoil anticipation, which I discovered when the instructor, unknown to me while I was distracted, removed the bullets from my pistol, handed it to and told me to fire away. Of course, I was anticipating and causing the pistol to dip significantly. My actual shots were 6-8 inches low at 7 yards. No matter what I did, I couldn't fix it. Then last week I watched a video by another instructor who used a technique very similar to what is being described in this video here. The idea is that the distance from the first wall to the rear of the full trigger travel is "100%" of the distance the trigger will travel. The % of that distance needed to make the gun "go bang" and break the shot is somewhere between those two points. So, the idea is to begin a count "10%", then "20%" as you increase pressure on the trigger, and so on until the shot breaks. You can count slowly or faster, but what it did for me is to take my mind off the shot anticipation and recoil and focus it psychologically on the percentage count. Coupled with a changed grip, my shooting improved immediately, and from all distances. I also changed my description of trigger manipulation from "pull" or "squeeze" to "increase pressure". I was mentally connecting "pulling and squeezing" to all my fingers, rather than isolating my trigger finger.

[@hsidder]

Appreciate the tip! I’ve always been taught to take it to the wall but as you said, there is still a margin of error and that’s where I am as adding movement. Learning the prep the trigger based on Miles feedback was key for me.

I just tried this with dry fire with my P80 (Glock internals). I never realized this before. I knew about the first wall and have used it with live fire for many years. But I have now discovered the THREE walls you described! It's subtle. But with dry fire repetition the three walls are definitely discernible! I'll be trying it with live fire next weekend. Thanks for the great video. PS... I'll try it with my factory Glocks, too.

I was always taught to squeeze thru the wall but this makes so much more sense. 5 minutes of dry fire and I understand this more.

@@prayon193 I have a Gen 4 Glock 19 and put in a Timiney trigger which gives me minimal travel to the wall and very short travel to the bang. With the G19 I can hear and feel the break.

My shooting deaerates when I shoot friends guns and this video made me realize I have to be aware of indexing the wall when changing guns.

[@landong5742]

Thanks Myles I went to the range Tuesday and tried out this technique and my accuracy improved dramatically..👍🏿

[@gregdamario5808]

This is excellent advice. It has helped me considerably. Thanks. Sidebar: I think a better way to demonstrate what happens between the first wall and the break would be to mount a laser on your weapon then video the target while pulling the trigger through the wall to the break. The students will be able to see the laser on target at the first wall then watch as the laser dot moves off target between the first wall and the eventual shot. Then of course demonstrate how to keep or realign the laser on target at the final wall then at the break.

[@trevorlewis24]

Never thought about this. Have seen countless 'wall' videos but none 'past the wall'. Gonna give it a shot (no pun intended) and report back!

[@clee6746]

Good theory for improving accuracy for slow fire target shooting. It will not be easy trying to apply this when you need to fire quickly and also accurately, say in competition. However, this is another key fundamental point one should aware when trying to learn to fire your handgun fast and accurate. I guess if one has a strong and steady support hand, the movement caused by the "2nd wall" on the trigger pull can be greatly reduced or even eliminated.

[@joefennell7535]

[@tubeonline629]

I always called this "staging the trigger" it will help with accuracy and is great for the range, but in a stressful situation like a police officer with his gun drawn and shouting commands, it can be very dangerous.

[@joebob617]

*This* was my comment/question. How well can this technique be adapted to a situation (e.g., self-defense scenario, say 7 yards or less) where you have to shoot fast and still hit? I do know the answer - at this distance, most of us can "just grip it and rip it", and get effective hammer pairs/double taps to COM. I'm pretty sure Miles would say something similar about that kind of shot. What I ("Intermediate" shooter) really need to work on this for precision shots - I still sometimes have a "low and left" problem. BUT - I've done some work at the range, working on prepping/staging the trigger - and I have to say (to tube's point) I've had a few NDs (uh, I mean "early shots" ;-) doing this. I always have the muzzle pointed safely downrange, so no harm *at the range*. What I'd like to do is to figure out at what distances (and associated "shooting speed") I can effectively stage/prep the trigger without risking an ND.

[@craiglaw7578]

If you understand the difference between on the job police work and range training you can eliminate that danger.

[@laithsu]

This is the reason I was shooting low and left when I first started shooting. It drove me nuts because I knew I had the right grip and stance and trigger pull. Well I videoed myself one time and saw that I was indeed "willing" the bullet to leave the barrel, and in doing so I was moving the gun at the last moment. Fixed it by actively thinking about just pulling the trigger from the wall and just bracing for the recoil. Bullseye, all shots on target, and in quick succession once I practiced not letting the trigger all the way out just up to the wall then pull again.

[@backupraceres]

I,ve seen many people shooting poorly because they were not taught this. I do shake a lot after the wall, so instead of continúe squeezing they trigger I do stop, Breathe, stop the shake and then Bang! Very important to know the trigger

[@BallisticDamage]

Thank you soo much I always tought that the first wall is THE wall when it brakes the shot.

[@kevinrtres]

ANSWER: Prepping your trigger - take up the slack to the point where the hard resistance is encountered - i.e. hitting the wall. Get past any and all walls right up to the place and time when the trigger actually fires the bullet. It's before that time that the novice usually moves the pistol off target because s/he thought that the first wall was the actual firing point.

[@mcmneverreadsreplys7318]

Changed my stock M&P (0.1) trigger to an Apex with a 3.7 lb pull. The slack between the wall and FIRE is one Millimeter. So, for practical purposes there is nothing beyond the wall for me to deal with. (I love my Apex trigger set!!)

[@djkak5320]

Awesome video! Works like magic! As an intermediate shooter I’ve found that it may take some time to develop the “feel” for different triggers. My G19 was relatively easy to learn. The P320 Legion will take more dry fire reps in order to program the subconscious. This chit begins to get difficult when you’re beyond the physical training and get into training the mind.

Thanks Myles. I have a new Walther PDP Compact and I just really now know where the wall is and where the bang is. I also think getting the Laser training program with either Laser Ammo or Mantis is a good idea. Why spend $.25 per round when you can dryfire to get comfortable with the gun.

I really feel this will help correct my accuracy. I don’t have the opportunity to shoot much, but I feel like this was my exact issue. I had different results with different pistols, some I was right on target, some were extremely low. Thanks!

[@jasonyi5851]

I make sure all my guns to have only 1 wall. Even though what you are saying is true, if your gun has more than one wall, instead of spending time learning to prep till the 2nd or 3rd wall point, you should spend time or/and money to fix the trigger to have only 1 wall. All the properly tuned triggers should have only one wall. Many factory stock tiggers will have more than 1 wall, and after a trigger job, if it still has more than one wall, it wasn't tuned properly. And finally, I don't care who you are, no one will have time to find the 2nd or 3rd walls, if some one is shooting at you.

[@albaniansuperiorshqipetari8055]

7:50 I learned this on Internet that you meant to face you gun when you load the trigger, buy slightly holding in it throughout the sliding or loading process so you do not damage the loading mechanism and the spring. You are not meant to pull and just release is wrong I think.

[@margaretburnham5683]

Thanks from Arizona USA 😁

[@clydepace9203]

I'm going to start practicing this. I've done really good with a lazer bullet but then go to the range and get different results with live ammunition.

[@frankie1220]

so the lesson is to learn the trigger. I just recently tried something at the range. I saw other reviewers talking about when a gun 'resets' (they'll hold the trigger after breaking a dry shot, rack the slide, then slowly release the trigger till you hear the click or reset as they call it). This method appears to help prevent shot anticipation or jerking the trigger because all you would have to do is slowly reset and then break the shot when ready. This works better when live because then you don't have to keep racking the slide, the firing of a bullet starts you off.

I have Canik Rival with a FredomSmith race trigger...no slack at all, the trigger safety is the slack.

[@davidmickles5012]

I can attest to this 100% from experience. Trigger prep is a major factor in improving accuracy. My question however is about defensive shooting. Under pressure (life or death) I could see prepping the trigger leading to an accidental discharge. Yes accuracy is more vital (more consequential) in defensive shooting than target shooting, but the added pressure of a "bad guy" being present combined with having my prepped trigger could make the gun go bang before I was ready could it not? I mean youre greatly reducing the margin for error by having that trigger so close to break point right? All the more reason to practice practice practice I guess..

[@jessegpresley]

shoot matches to acclimate yourself to handing a gun while nervous.

[@Andrests22]

I was thinking about something similar. I dont have a firearm but i do play airsoft and taking the time to prep the trigger at the very end is mostly a no go in CQB, specially since im gonna be spamming a few rounds quite fast. However this could be very useful if i happen to need a precise shot at mid distance and also have the time to. Theres something else i also learned which is the direction of the finger while pressing the trigger that can make the gun go right, center or left, that imo can improve accuracy even in rushed shots provided you have trained enough. Mastering both techniques should make you an even better shooter. Although returning to the initial point, i also think you should not only practice the techniques themselves, but different scenarios as well: shooting at varying distances and then combine them with different speeds, taking your time or pressuring yourself, doing snap shots or having the sight ready on target, and so on. Just make sure you do things well at slow speed, so when you rush you can keep that consistency

@@jessegpresley trigger freeze lol

[@yakbutter78]

Revolver shooters refer to this as staging the trigger. I think this is a good way to start out and really understand your pistol. But at the end of the day, you're going to need to master not moving (much) throughout the entire trigger press in order to run the gun at speed. I think a DA revolver is actually a good training tool for this, provided that you pull through and don't stage the trigger. If you can keep your sights on target through a long pull, you can do it through a shorter striker fired pull. My two cents from a dude who is not a trainer.
