I know I’m 3 months late to the party here, but I thought the exact same thing after just the first minute. This man has perfected his craft. He is very obviously both a great shooter, and an amazing shooter. I hope this channel gets the recognition it deserves soon. Keep up the good work sir!
@@baersolutions can you make a video showing how you recommend incorporating moving and shooting into your practice? Once you mastered basic/safe weapons handling of course. Or if that’s even a skill that’s relevant or just a cool guy thing.
No bullshit intros, titles and editings. Straight to point and overload with very precious information and knowledge sharing. This gentleman shared with us his summary of years of hard earned personal experience in 9 minutes.
The best way to stop anticipation or flinching as they call it is by dry firing enough, so pulling the trigger while the guns empty and there's no bang no recoil becomes muscle memory, you'll do it instinctively, without anticipating our flinching from then on. It takes about 2000 repetitions for something to become muscle memory, but if you want it bad enough, you're put in the time. I'm a certified Weapons instructor and I have seen it work every single time.
Have a buddy randomly put some dummy rounds mixed in with live rounds in the mag. I never knew I anticipated the shot until I started throwing in a dummy round here or there in the mag. Also you'll notice it when you get distracted and forget to chamber a round and you go to fire.
No ads, BS, acting, flair and fluff you get from other gun Tubers … you’re straight to the point with amazing content and information. You sir have earned a new subscriber.
Lifetime shooter and long time USPSA and steel challenge shooter. Trigger jerk is still something I struggle with often today. This was an incredibly helpful video finally outside of the “straight back don’t disrupt sights, good luck” videos that are a dime a dozen on here. It may have been said before but some reason your delivery finally helped it stick on exactly what I keep doing wrong. Thanks for the video man!!
How is this not a pro production channel on TV??? I just found your channel and am blown away by the production quality and editing! I haven’t even gotten to the content I’m so taken by the cinematography and musicality. Bravo, my friend.
Smarter than the average bear for sure. I have shot for years, regularly, and i still have occasional problems. very nice explanation. simple and clear. I shot better yesterday. Thank you and thanks for your experience and service!
Thank you yt algorithm for showing me this content. This is the type of content I want to see. It’s hard to search for it though because the big names are the only things that show up (not that all of them are bad I’ve just already watched them all)
How many times have you heard someone say the solution is to let the shot surprise you or something like that? I've never been sure what that means, but in practice (for me) it leads to this creeping trigger & wobbling sight picture problem. 'Cause I'm trying to be surprised, see? Except I anticipate the surprise. This idea of having your vision cue an automatic response from the trigger finger instead of letting your finger send the brain information is like someone teaching you how to properly hold a football: seems like a small change but the effect is significant.
This was the most helpful video. The first time I shot I was pretty good and then I developed recoil anticipation. All the other videos I watch just talked about how it was psychological and just get over it or do lots of dry fire practice. This was the first piece of advice that worked and now my shooting is so much better! Thank you!
You saw a lot of stupid videos. It's impossible to anticipate while dry firing. Why? Because you don't anticipate a bang when you know it won't happen. Ball & Dummy. Yes! Anticipation (or flinching) is psychological. Some people don't have this problem. They become expert shooters and when they decide to teach shooting... poor pupils. They never succeed (instructors and pupils). If you shoot low and left: 99,99% is solved with Ball & Dummy. Get a revolver, some spent cases and take ypur time.
"Stop treating it like a hunting rifle" is what stood out to me looking back I was holding the shot waiting for the perfect moment to squeeze all the while I'm completely tensed muscle in hands and triceps cramping. Thanks for the information.
Excellent video and sound advice. I was trained to “ride the reset” when I first started in law enforcement years ago. I was afforeded the opportunity to attend a state law enforcement firearms instructor school I was taught the method you describe for trigger manipulation. It improved my shooting performance dramatically.
I'm a novice shooter and my "shot anticipation" went away like magic one day because I was so focused on lining my sights and hitting the target that I didn't even think about the recoil. I shoot maybe once every couple months, and for weeks I was so anticipating it that I would sit in my bedroom and aim at various things (without dry firing) just wanting to shoot so bad. I think I somehow trained myself to solely focus on shot placement, which is awesome because the fear of recoil was hindering my performance so badly 😊
Thank you. I have a Glock 22 which was my issued sidearm several years ago. I've never been able to shoot well with it. What you describe in this video is exactly where my shot placement generally is, low left or at least along the left side of center. I'm in a pistol class this week and I have learned exactly what you described. I've never shot this pistol so well. Now, all I have to do is practice practice practice and practice.
I dont know how many videos on this topic I have watched now. But this video in particular, even while I was only listening and not watching, does a fantastic job explaining what it was intended to teach. I can't wait to try practice.
Makes a lot of sense I find my self slowly breaking that shot & makes my gruping garbage. I noticed just preping the trigger and firing quick when sights on target makes my shooting a lot more Acurate
Now I understand why my G27 is the most accurate pistol I have. No pinky on the grip so I am not pulling down before firing the pistol. Very informative and helpful information. Thanks.
This was extremely helpful. I tend to struggle with certain micro 9s. I tried switching back and forth between mags with, and without pinky extensions. I noticed that with the extension, I would often pull my shots more than without the extension. I thought this was strange, and it killed my confidence a bit. Your explanation put it into perspective, and it finally started to make sense. Thanks for the tips.
have watched hours of vids talking about techniques for better shot placement. I could have just watched this 9 mins of instruction and saved myself some time. Great areas of focus that I can easily remember. The support hand dominance focus just blew my mind. No one really talks about how that hand can help with the trigger movement. excellent. now a subscriber
You're an excellent and effective instructor!!!! Thank you for the knowledge transfer, sir!!! Good luck to you, stay safe, keep your dome on a swiv!!!!
THANK YOU! I’ve been working on shooting low left for a year. I’ve watched many videos on grip, trigger, breathe, pull the trigger straight back,let the shot surprise you, etc. They helped, but I was very frustrated with still shooting low left. Today I had high hopes that using a death grip would be the solution. Still shot low left. 😢 My last clip, I remembered your tip on sticking out the pinky finger, and the craziest thing, my shots where in the center. Holy shit! This worked. Thank you! I can’t wait to get back to the range to see if I can shoot consistently in the center.✌️
@@baersolutions I am what I would consider a newer handgun shooter. Less than a year of owning and firing my own handgun. I shoot at an indoor range at least twice a month for now. Im working on not putting my shots low and to the left like the video describes (R Hand shooter, L Eye dominant). THE TARGETS ARE FREE TO DOWNLOAD AND PRINT BY THE WAY!! In the book it talks about the mentality of the rubber band on the finger and how a boxer/fighter wouldn't just throw a punch out there and leave it.. when I practice the TOTALLY FREE "Danny" target (#2) I am having issues getting into a comfortable groove shooting the 1,2,3,4,5 and the 12345. I'm comfortable with the 1 thousand and the 1 and 2 but when it gets to shooting faster, accurately, I either freeze up and pin the trigger down with a slow reset or I throw the rounds all over the place. I will continue to dig into this book, which in my opinion is very easy to read and understand without it being dull or "too simple" and I will practice more on not holding the trigger hostage and sinking my rounds low and left. Thank you for these free insight videos, free targets and for putting out a book that is about training, about getting better and not just another book from a veteran about how they changed a tire on a Huey at 30,000 feet with one hand while returning fire.
Thinking your "process" thru sounds very useful. I actually talk to myself in my head during my process. Getting the brain involved leads to less " reaction" and pulled shots. Thanks!
Great tips. I’ve had to “re-train” several coppers over the years who had problems anticipating the shots. I put dummy rounds in the mag and don’t tell them so they will start to understand.
A Guntuber who's not fat or using mechanics gloves🙌🏻 Great video! I've been shooting for a while but lately I've been shooting most of my guns low center. Bad enough I about bottomed out the elevation on my 45 Tacs RMR. Funny that you said dropping the pinky can help. I was shooting my G19 short grip (same grip length as the 26) and had zero issues shooting that🤷🏻♂️ Got some work to do! Thanks!
Awesome video yet again. It's so refreshing to see a no bs explanation. We've all been there. I see some guys just straight-up shoot with their right pinky off. I would love to take one of your courses.
Very informative review, explanation and demonstration 💪🏼🇺🇸 Will subscribe and retroactively review what I have missed out on. Looking forward to more posts in the immediate future
I just discovered your channel thanks to dirty civilians. Helpful and quality content. The explanations are clear and precise, you go to the essentials, thank you.
A click banger 😂 that was funny. What Ive found is folks over think shooting. Simplify the process, stay loose, good mechanics, do the reps so that shooting becomes as integrated as breathing. Semper Fidelis...y'all
This channel is criminally under viewed
The algorithm likes lower quality videos more often unfortunately
Go take one of his classes and you’ll realize your comment is far truer still. Phenomenal instructor.

This is hands down one of the best channels out here that cuts the bs and actually shows in detail the subject matter. Thank you for these.
The best explanation I have heard in over 30 years in LE!
This is one of the best videos on shooting technique that I’ve ever seen.
Thanks bud.

This is why I love the Glock trigger. The defined reset and the wall work perfectly for this approach. Great video. I subbed.

VERY underrated channel. This is excellent advice! The kind people will pay money to learn. Thank you Drew.
one of the best channels on RUclips.
Discovered you this week, your whole channel is gold!! Clear and concise 💯
One of the best instructional and breakdowns that this self taugh-internet student-civi has seen yet

I was afforeded the opportunity to attend a state law enforcement firearms instructor school I was taught the method you describe for trigger manipulation. It improved my shooting performance dramatically.
I am a new shooter and this is the 2nd video of yours I've seen, they are SO helpful, thank-you. Didn't know you had a book; just ordered it.
this was the best explanation and example for this topic
HANDS DOWN THE BEST VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN! STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, EXPLAINED VERY WELL, AND EASY GOING INSTRUCTION.
This is the best tutorial on trigger control vs. shot anticipation I've ever seen. Thanks!

I’ve watched dozens of other channels videos on this topic; no one has explained this as well as you have. Well done and thank you.
GREAT VIDEO! In the early 80’s we were taught click bang as Troopers with the S&W M28. Huge difference when you do as you instructed. Thanks.
This is my favorite explanation of this so far.
Thank you for this video. No BS, just concise valuable information to get better. You have a new sub!
This channel is awesome, hope he continues to make videos.
OUTSTANDING analysis!

Thanks for the tip - I think this is exactly why my shots are low and a little left.

You’re a very good instructor. Clear and precise!
Thank you for the clear instructions on dealing with this problem. It has been a problem for me.
It reminds me of tennis. Always swing through dont stop mid motion in anticipation. Great video

Man you made a profound statement when it comes to the L.E.O. way of shooting. I am going to practice this technique.
I just legit took a private gun lesson because I'm new to guns and want to improve and he talked about this.
This brother jus put me on a few things I have never heard of before… Great content and instruction…. Love this info
All I watch is gun videos. All day. I finally found someone that can explain things to my chimp brain.
Every shooter should watch this
Great vid ... Subbed, the long intro is a bit too much but the content is excellent
That is the most relevant thing I have heard on that situation. Thanks.
Interesting presentation. Finding a way that works for a particular individual can be a challenge.
These were some great tips I can't wait for my next range day to put them into practice
I just came across your video, and it really clicked for me. Excellent explanation. You have a new subscriber. Thanks!
Guilty of creeping the trigger. Thanks for pointing that out to me, I'm going to try the slack, wall, take the shot technique next.
Awesome video yet again. It's so refreshing to see a no bs explanation. We've all been there. I see some guys just straight-up shoot with their right pinky off.

Great video. Looking forward to going to the range and applying these. Hopefully I’ll fix my low shots.
Wow I never thought you pinkeye finger can be the corporate for bad aiming you always learning something new thanks 👍🏿
Valuable info
The pinky may be a game changer. Thanks
Great tip about the pinky. How do i work to get my pinky back into my grip? Not sure if you still look at these comments but great video!
Thanks for sharing such a tremendous amount of valuable information!
Good breakdowns on the causes.
Thanks so much. I sure need a cure for that. Can't wait to get to the range to try it out!
Thanks so much for explaining the anticipated shot. Great content.
Great video! I’m cursed with pulled shots… this should help 👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely LOVE your posts!! Your instructional technique really makes sense to me
Thanks you for the info and diagnostics. Always like learning.
simple, I like it!
Great job explaining the process.
