Trigger prep is best learned with dry firing. I use a Modified Weaver stance that allows me to relax my body while still enabling a firm grip on the pistol. I shoot an old Sig P226 that gets consistent head shots on coyotes at 100 to 150 yds. "Aim small, miss small." Thank you for a great take on long range handgun shooting. Information for everyone to use.
I shoot P226 too, it is my EDC. How high up (inches) are you aiming for center mass shots at 100 yards? And do you prefer to take long-range pistol shots with the gun in double action or single action?
@@Ntop33 It depends on my bullet weight and load. With good 9mm ball, my aim is 12 inches, or front dot 1/2 way up the rear dovetail, from normal 25 yd. bullseye sight picture. With my heavier, slower 124gr., I will be at 15 to 16 inches. Front dot 3/4 up the rear dove tail. I really prefer the factory Sig trigger, oiled up. When in single, it breaks really clean. Sorry, I didn't see your question 'til just now.
I occasionally shoot 50, 75, & 100 yards with pistol. The thing I notice is I “feel” my feet connecting with the ground. Almost like tree roots. Hard to explain. Great video
Ben,Good observations about being “grounded” with your feet . This is also a factor in proper weight training technique for exercises done while standing: By “gripping the ground” with a three point foot contact ( big toe, baby toe and heel) you basically engage your glutes and hamstrings giving yourself an improved natural base of support. Finding a happy medium between support and excess tension should be helpful in this shooting scenario.
Great vid. sir. I have really gotten into the math creating an MOA or mil system with front sight height and width vs. sight radius and matched to a ballistics program. Amazing how close you can get at extended range when the data is accurate.
This is very practical at the moment with the wanna be mass shooter in the mall this week, he was shooting 40-50 yards and landed 8 of 10 on the shooter as a civilian. It's just as important as up close I say!!
Make sure your eyesight is in good shape. Some of my fellow shooters are nearsighted and at the range, they only wear safety glasses and can barely see a target at 20 yards.
My rationale behind being able to shoot long range with a pistol is of course increased accuracy at closer ranges. Another thought I’ve always had is in a worst case scenario and I’m forced to fight only with a handgun, being able to essentially function with a handgun as a primary is necessary to win gunfights
Thx for the Video. I recommend you to show ur front site & back site the way it should be for close shoots & long distance shoots. You can use a drawing boards to describe ur idea my friend because the way u r doing it is EXTREMELY CONFUSING, it doesn't matter if someone are beginners or not. 🍻
I recently saw a Police body cam video by xenia police on the channel Police activity. There was a gunman firing off shots in the apartment complex. And when the police located the suspect he was (to my estimate) roughly 100-120 yards from the police officer. I noticed the officer taking precise steady shots instead of mag dumping the guy.
I find that while at the range, I have a better day if I take a few long range shots before practicing short range. I think it helps my concentration and ability to focus on the target.
I'm going to try to hit a man size steel silhouette from 200 yards with a smith & wesson 629-6 Talo edition 6.5 barrel because my range doesn't allow steel to be shot any closer than 200 yards .44 magnum 240 gr
This kind of "fun" pistol shooting can be used for a possible counter-sniper scenario training. Watch this ruclips.net/video/ZIjuiq25Lzk/видео.html Since watching this movie back in mid-2000's, I always do some kind of long-range practice with my pistol.
You have to know what range your pistol is sighted in at. You have to know how small your shot group (diamer of shots on paper) is. It IS a good (basic) question that you must understand by shooting on the range. . . . Now get out to the range and learn !
I frequently shoot at 100 yards 50 yards and 25 yards. At 25 and even 50 yards with 9 mm bullet drop is negligible -just aim where you are shooting at 100 you have to account for it and aim at the neck to hit center mass. With 357 you can aim below the hollow of the throat, a little lower with 44 magnum you can pretty much aim where you were planning to hit. These are higher velocity rounds with less drop. With 45 or 38 special hundred yards is a losing proposition. The bullet drop is just too substantial. The drop is not a straight line, Regardless of caliber. Most of it happens between 50 and 100.
You should have just taken a moment to explain bullet drop so people would understand why you have to aim higher at increased ranges. Just to fill in knowledge gaps. Good video, keep them coming.
A 9mm bullet out of a Glock 17 point of aim point of impact is about 6 inches at a 100 yards, just aim center mass watch your fundamentals and squeeze the trigger and you won't have any issues, is very simple.
"...6 inches @ 100 yards" At what bullet weight: 115, 124, 147? How much would the bullet drop change your aim point? How much would barrel length change point of aim? Several interacting variables makes for some interesting questions.
I have a sociopath following me around on social media trying to tell people that they were me sorry for the inconvenience but if you have any information regarding this I would appreciate you thank you
He mentions a progression to getting accurate shots at 25 yards, so start at what distance you need to until you are consistently hitting where you are aiming, then move out from there.
With or without your glasses?.. Seriously, train with an airgun and shoot toothpicks at 2/3meters for initial solid understanding. Way cheaper. With your 'carry' gun? Not that much.. What will make the difference if you have to take a 75/100meters shot is your overall experience/time spent on the field in all sorts of atmospheric conditions. And your fitness level.. The more you can 'absorb' in terms of discomfort or plain performance reduction, the best you can do the final shooting job. Think biathlon guys and girls. Again, you can train for the entire dynamic for cheap by simply doing anything demanding just before 'trick shooting' games inside 10meters. The idea being that the fun of the games compensate for the pain of the needed fatigue/pre-fatigue. The absolute cheapest is dry fire after pushups and all that crap.
how fare in should i put my trigger finger ? all the way in to the cress or just the tip ? also do i only raise the front iron sight to make it look like a triangle or do i raise all 3 iron sights ?
Most shooters don't realize how well their handguns will shoot.
Yup

Yes. That feeling of being grounded and on plane is like nothing else.
Do you keep both eyes open?
I always have.
@@Bullzeye1000yds I keep both eyes open, especially since cataract surgery (took vision back to 20/20).

Tip 1. Do it. Most won't even try.
Tip 2. Do it further. Most don't know their limit and it's probably WAY further then they think.
Going to go give these three some concentration.

Actually shooting either down or uphill reduces the trajectory of the bullet.
Thanks for these tips - much appreciated!
Shoot my G19 and G30SF at 100 and consistently hit paper and steel.

Couldn't have been him then, because you lived to talk about it.
At the end of the day we play game
We start at 10 yds and move back 5yds end up to 80yds 1ft person to miss pays for lunch
“Not really practical”… Funny that I’m watching this a year later and low and behold, Elija Dickens stops a mall shooter at 40 yards🤣
Depends on context. 😉 Definitely helping someone, yes. If not, law will likely argue why one could’ve run away.
Stand up straight and continue to breathe. Holding your breath before a shot adds to your tremors
Nice shooting, great info...
Thnxs 4 posting
Great information
This is great instruction.. thanks
Myles, what ears are you using? Would you buy them again or something different? Thank You!
Great info for long distance shooting. this video was the reason to subscribe to your good channel. keep up the good work
Unless it’s somebody with a rifle shooting up an outdoor event
This kind of "fun" pistol shooting can be used for a possible counter-sniper scenario training.

If there is an active mass shooter at 100 yards, no explanation necessary. It isn't always just about getting away.

what that in your hand... i like alot...
I liked your video but way too much garble on what really matters at long range. #3 would've sufficed.
Thanks for the video
almost 8 mins of video and you never rang the steel to show us you practice what you preach? you killin me Miles ;)
Also shown one other time but we can’t recall the time stamp off the top of our head.
