  • This is a clip from one of my live meet-ups with the Tier 1 members of my Keep the Blaze Alive Coaching Squad (aka “The Squad”). The Squad has three levels of membership, and we meet weekly online with a 2-hour livestream where I answer questions and tell stories, and the Tier 1 members get two monthly two-hour Zoom calls where we talk face-to-face. I also host two 3-day events per year for my Tier 1 members. Learn more about The Squad at / coachingsquad

      If you go back thru pats vids, he's got a lot of info on the subject. He's also got some good books and other media as well. I don't think this was meant to be a training vid, is only 2:39. Not sure what you're expecting out of a 2 minute and 39 second video.......

    With sight alignment being the number one issue, wouldn’t a red dot isolate it to just trigger control? Red dot is the way to go imho.

    People want to believe that marksmanship is "MAGIC".....it's actually VERY simple. Do the exact same thing, EVERY SINGLE TIME. But, as Pat said, easier said than done. Pat reminds me of someone I knew a while ago.....Robert/Bob Irby......the more I hear from Pat, the more he reminds me of Bob.

  • @berner
    @berner 2 года назад

    When I was BMQ (Canada's basic training), we were taught:
    Position and hold should be firm enough to support the weapon without undue physical effort
    Sight picture and alignment must be correct
    Weapon must point naturally at the target without any undue physical effort
    Shot should be released and followed through
    It's been 10 years since and I probably butchered some of that but do you think any of those marksmanship principles are outdated or does it all have relevancy still?

  • @charlesreeves3426
    @charlesreeves3426 2 года назад

    Good content brother but, checking your work through your sights is done during the shot, not after. i.e. knowing what your sight did during the shot. Did it go low and left or did it rise to the 12 o'clock then present back on target re-aligned and ready to go for a follow up shot. Was it on target when the shot broke or did your foot hit a hole in the ground while moving and move your sights off target as the shot was being fired? Checking your work through your sights is the only way you can accurately call your shot. Follow through is making sure you stay on sights and trigger if there needs to another shot. Just like you said. If one shot is fired there will be two sight pictures. If 6 shots, there will be 7 sight pictures. Food for thought. Or not. Stay safe.

    With the proliferation of the internet and "guntubers", it baffles me that ANYONE would attend a PatMac course and still be using the cup-n-saucer or (God forbid) the thumbs behind the slide grip.
    Not knocking them, necessarily, they obviously took the course and got it corrected.... But how could you not know???? 🤔
