This bit of knowledge has been so lacking from most rds “instruction” I thought I was “doing it wrong” by wanting to focus on the dot (aim small) at longer distances. THANK YOU!
This is something I have recently realized and have been working on. I went to a dot so I could target focus better and just float the dot on my target. I pretty much always did that with irons, but a dot is much clearer on the target when target focusing. But I realized when I was zeroing my dot, I would zero at 10 yards, but confirm at 20 to 25 yards. When I was confirming at distance like that and target focusing, my groups would be kind of all over. So I shifted my focus to the dot on the target instead of vica versa. Then my confirmation group would be right on. That’s when I realized, sometimes, especially at distance, to get the hit, I would have to dot focus first.
Knowledge of human anatomy. A deer hunter puts a single round through both lungs and the heart of a deer by knowing to put the crosshairs just behind the deer's shoulder.
@@klawockkidd3426 I get the anatomy, center mass, T-Zone, shoulder etc. spots to aim for. It was more about when is the visual and mental focus on said target correct? When is it too much of a strain. Just staring at it? On targets it is often said to pick a small detail, the edge of something that may not be an option.
@@onpsxmember Perhaps you're overthinking it? Maybe try turning the silhouette away from you so you are shooting at the blank paper. After shooting turn it facing you to see where on the silhouette you're hitting? Just my two cents.
@@klawockkidd3426^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ He's right you know. Seriously not kidding.. kind of like what Gabe said about growing up and shooting different pistol shaped toys at each other. Preteen force on force. I can just hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth by the square range fudds if they read that. It's getting over a mental block. I used to work with an old little unassuming guy who served in the Korean War U.S. Army and ended up carrying the BAR. Shortened quote "I never worried about killing the enemy..they were trying to kill me."
Hi Gabe, I tried ipsc, the local adaptation, and I found targets were too many, too large and too close for my taste. People seem to focus on splits and fast reloads and so on. I went back to bullseye exercises, I try to stay in the black at 25 and in the ten ring at 12 meters. I think I would like ppc, if had a chance to try it

When Gabe speaks, we listen
Humble thanks
May I ask what firearm you're using in this video? I've looked several times and can't figure it out. A hammer on what looks like a striker fired gun!

@suareztactics very nice thanks.
How do you pick a small target on a bigger visually uniform one? When is the visual/mental focus right or enough to not enter a tunnel?

Good Idea, I'll try that.

I have anything to argue here. I will shut up and learn…
