The Shooting Distance Paradox: Why Does This Phenomena Happen With All Shooters?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 дек 2023
- Why is it not proportionally harder to shoot 6 steel plates at a greater distance? I explore this shooting phenomena in this video. I demonstrate that adding over twice the distance of my prior video for the same challenge resulted in only an added time of about 17% to shoot successfully.

An interesting analysis. And something that I've noticed myself over the years.
Now I don't shoot for speed, but for accuracy. It's my belief that as the distance increases it causes one to concentrate upon the target as a whole, rather than the exact center. At 8m~10m, my concentration is on the very center. However, at 25m and beyond, the target decreases in visual size. This causes one to concentrate upon the whole targert, completely ignoring the now invisible center. Further, as the distance increases, I'm more relaxed and able to make consistent hits. This applies to rifle, pistol, and bow. I use open sights on firearms, and shoot "instinctive" with a bow. Been doing this for 60+ years. And over half of this time I was in a profession where center mass was paramount. Yet I can't hit a thing using a scope or dot sights worth a hoot.
Thanks for sharing that interesting analysis. 😃
I'd go for speed tho everytime.
I have to agree with angry ranger, shooting open sites for us ancients as I would call myself is something our brain is totally acclimated to. I have a red dot on my carbine, and it has taken a lot of work to be comfortable with it My service sidearm, open sites and I shoot for accuracy as he said. Thanks for posting this video Good job good job
Agree 100% I never worried about squibs. Trusted the PMC or Win factory ammo and my reloading. Any powder anomaly you can feel instantly. If you are shooting at a pace that prevents you from stopping after a strange recoil event, you are shooting beyond your safe limits, imho.
Great video!! The curve definitely comes into play and not just in shooting, everything has its limitations.. gotta rest, evaluate & reset!
Well said.😃
You're shooting skills is still impressive no matter what
Good experiment!
First video on this channel I've seen. Thank you very much for bringing up this valid point.
- Godspeed
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Simply Brilliant as usual. Thanks for your knowledge and understanding of which you freely share.
Thanks for stopping by again my friend 😃
Those are some great runs my friend. I used to shoot IDPA before things got so insanely expensive. I know exactly how difficult, and how much dedication it takes to get to your level. Thanks.
Thanks for that nice comment!
Great videos, I enjoy watching your productions, and the passion you show about firearms.
Ive been enjoying firearms since i was 10, im now 61 yrs old, and have mostly an eclectic collection, Many older winchester rifles, some dating back as far as 1881, some reproductions, simply for cost sake, and shooting lever action silhouette.
A fair amount of bolt rifles, a few shotguns, and several revolvers, mostly S@W's, one Colt god cup, and a few SAA clones.
My passion is shooting competition, mostly long range silhouette, my favorite is the cowboy silhouette.
Thanks for the fun videos!
Nice to hear from a fellow firearms enthusiast.😃👍
Man ! A heck of a shot !
Love the channel boss!!
Another awesome video!
Thanks 😊
Great video! I am inspired to find some property to get my own range 😁
100% agree on reloading. I have reloaded prodigiously for decades and train regularly. I have multiple QA checks in my reloading process and have yet to have a squib round. I can't even come close to saying that about factory ammunition.
Yep! there is no excuse for squibs IMO.
I also enjoy your vids, thanks
If you haven't already, can you do a short vid on modern options for a SA Army holster? I see the traditional, old fashioned ones, but what about more modern practical options?
Tuco I love your videos and your basically Arthur Morgan
😃👍
weird to see this man with anything but a revolver ❤❤❤
It just doesn’t seem right?…
Congrats
Could you dive into a video on barrel length if you haven't already? Maybe history on available length in the 1800s, difference in draw speed with various length, authentic vs Hollywood's. Looking at my first EMF purchase and its difficult to choose a length
Heard the helicopter and was waiting to see the “Men in black” with ATF vests on come dropping in for a routine firearms check 🤣.
Rock on Ratt 🤘😎
PS. With the geese carrying on in the background, not sure how you can hear that timer. 😒
Radius of pivot point/or sweep vrs smaller visual target at distance. I get what your saying.
I like to quit after a really good run. Sometimes that's not the same day I started on.
Awesome video👏👏👏👏👏👏 Wonder what it’s like to shoot better than a Navy Seal.
I always wonder about the depth perception on all of the YT shooting videos. Something about the camera really fools the eye. In a challenge like this, my best times would be on the spray can button because I would hardly ever need to use it.
I have been watching your videos on auto-play all last evening and I'm back this morning over coffee... About 15-ish years ago, I picked up an A.Uberti SAA in 38-40. I also purchased at that same time, a custom rig for it from John Bianchi of Fronier Leather (When John still owned it), the "Gunfighter Special". It's been great watching your channel. One question, if I may; where is TUCOtheratt come from? Is there a good story there?
Famous bad guy from the old spaghetti western with Clint Eastwood. Fistfull of Dollars. I imagine he's a fan eh.
That's the same helicopter that went over me😅 Thanks for your excellent instruction 💯👍
😃👍
"I'm tempted to stop..."
"Imma do it one more time..."
😂
I love human nature sometimes.
i agree about reloading ... only worry is component failure
Is that a level 2 retention? There seems like a slight pause in a couple of the draws and always push down before coming out with my holster so I'm curious if mine would look like that too. I might have to record it. lol. Love the video as always!
Looks like a comptac or bladetech competition holster. So only level 1 retention.
It's a Ben Stoeger boss USPSA holster
Seeing Tuco with a nice semi auto seems OP.
I've never actually had a squib using factory ammo, except in 22lr. I have had over pressure rounds.
I had a different experience with my reloads. Now I only use factory loads. Had a Dillon XL reloader, Clean brass, New powder, New primers and constantly got squibs. Checked every load after reloading them, checked fit and headspace. Still got squibs. Got different powder, primers, same thing.
You were doing something wrong consistently then.
It drives me crazy when you say that's your best for the day. You're TUCO the fucking RATT! Top gun, nobody's arguing you running the race, or hell; even placing 1st. I just think there's more to show. Much respect though Master Gunfighter Tuco. Much respect!
Yeppp yes sir 👍
That if interesting, as it is not often I see a person’s aura on film. And I almost never see a person’s aura in a RUclips video, as it usually does not show up well. But your’s is showing up quite well, at least 3 out the first 5 layers are. It’s a beautiful pale yellow, or light green.
It's interesting that you noticed that. I think what you are seeing is that I have to turn the gamma up on my editor because I'm videoing at 46 degrees north on the winter and if the day is cloudy there isn't enough light for a good video with bumping the gamma.😃
Hi Tuco, I just found this. Great video. I do have one question, but not gun related. Why do you have a halo around you? Did you notice this in your editing process? Cheers
I videoed this at 46 degrees north in the winter. There isn't enough light for great video because the sun is so low so I bumped the gamma in editing so you can see detail.
Thanks! I just didn’t want some dummy saying “Hey, he’s green screening all his fancy shooting”.
wow
Tuco, Have you tried indexing right to left? You might find you can drive the pistol faster that way, as a righty, but won't know 'til you try it. Cheers.
I've tried it both ways. I think it's a good idea to shoot both directions so that you don't induce a weakness, but my habit is left to right.
👏👏👏👏👏
Our geese left 6 weeks ago, now I know where they are.
I mean, I always revert to combat standards. If you can put six killing blows on six targets at a half second a target you are doing pretty well.
💪🤠🔥
😊😊😊😊😊
Should have quit while you were ahead…. Oooo the temptation to keep beating the clock LoL. Actually I agree train to just past the peak, or you might not be fully confident in that days results (was I just lucky / could I do better). At least for us novices…
✌️😎👍
Geese and a helicopter... 😊
What is the background noise in the video? Sounds like water fowl-a gazillion of them!
Canadian Geese
@@TUCOtheratt its funny they land in a field near my village pond and stay there for months, dont seem to move on anymore same with the swans, north east coast of England I'm talking about.
At 5.30 or so , you walked about 20 or some steps , and for us that is about 20 meters ( watching your tall and steps ), something like 22 yards , not 15 as you said . could it make any difference in some of the results of the demonstration??!!
I didn't measure it . I just took long strides and swiped a mark on the ground before the video started. I think the principle is the same. Thanks for watching! 😃
This was excellent and I really enjoyed it. You mention the sweep is smaller as you go further away which should assist you. However the accuracy is very important. I do notice that you mention how far away you're shooting from five ten fifteen twenty twenty five. I am wondering whether just by saying the distance psychologically keys you up to be a little too tight. What if you said nothing about the distance. Perhaps lineup at your personal choice of distance at any time during the exercise. Put a stick in the ground by your foot.
And and fire your routine. Try to experiment a few times and see if you do not gain accuracy and hitch. Just because your brain is not wired into a specific distance. I guess what I'm saying is. Are you faking yourself out by mentioning the distance. I realized it's important but not while you're shooting. Only for analysis afterwards.
I mention the specific distance in this video to demonstrate the point. However, I seldom pace off or measure the distance as a rule. The other points you made about faking oneself out are getting into the psychology of shooting, which is a fascinating subject. I will go into that more in upcoming videos. Thanks for watching 😃
@@TUCOtheratt 😁
It's like bowling 300. Best to sell the bowling ball and never look back. You'll never be satisfied with a 299 again.
Where is your "how to reload properly" video? Thanks!

Ok....am I stoned? Or can you see his aura?.....especially around his arms....am I the only one seeing that?
I boosted the gamma in editing because the day was so dark.
Best I have ever done this drill is 4.09. I can’t see how anyone can do it in under 3 seconds. Either way too much time and ammo used practicing or superhuman.
Hello algorithm my old friend, i leave this comment for you again..
Shooting fast is one type of high level shooting. But it’s not the only high level shooting that exists. It is possible to evaluate for squibs and still be shooting at a high level, but it’s not the type of shooting that requires one to shoot fast.
I’ve shot 4” groups at 100yds with a .357 revolver. Maybe that’s high level shooting, and maybe it’s not but I didn’t do it fast.
I ain’t mad at ‘ya, but it just seems like your only looking at the one type of shooting and completely discounting all others as “not high level”
Well said.👍
Sbooting fast n accurates the best tho. 🤔🤗
Handsome❤
Well thanks, but l don't believe we've ever met, still it's nice of you all the same. 🤗
Thank you!
You chose to practice on goose and helicopter day,😂
It was way noisier than normal.
Did you get greedy?
You must live in geese migration flyway . Helicopter flying over , Hhmmmm , i bet little buddy call the police on you . 😅
Ha Ha 😃👍
Hey @tucotherat today is my Birthday🎉🎉
Happy Birthday 😃
Thanks
Happy birthday 🎉
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy birthday!!!🎉🎉
Meh, i could do it in 1 sec at 50 yrds....😂
Hell, If you’re going to shoot that plastic gun, At least take off what you’re wearing and put on a hoodie and some sweat pants, sneakers … And perhaps a baseball cap?!!…🤷♂️
