Becoming a process oriented shooter is typically what the top shooters in this sport train themselves to become based on an excellent article by Bruce Gray (www.grayguns.com)  In this episode I will cover dry fire techniques, the 3 categories of good handgun marksmanship, and I do a brief review and share some thoughts about the Smith and Wesson M&P line of fine pistols!

Highlights:

  • The 3 key’s to good handgun marksmanship.
  • Trigger control.
  • How to cure “shooter’s flinch.”
  • Selling guns with cars. (audio soundbite)
  • Performance anxiety.
  • Shooter’s wobble.
  • Visualize and sight picture and target in your mind.
  • 2 weeks of dry fire practice for success!
  • Shooting reactively vs. shooting proactively.
  • Review of the Smith and Wesson M&P line of pistols.

Check out my latest YouTube video and feel free to comment on the show!

    Good stuff Bob…I’ve passed a link to your show onto Bruce. He may feel inclined to comment.

    Years ago I read a book called Freedom From Trigger Jerk (which has now been renamed something like The Mental Mechanics of Shooting…or something like that) when I was having some problems in IPSC. Trigger jerk and flinching are two different problems and I had the former. This book REALLY helped me understand the importance of the subconscious mind and its roll in shooting. It also talked about the conscious mind and how ego can get in the way. If you can get your hands on a copy, I’d highly recommend it.

    Anyway…good stuff. Enjoy the show.

    Thank you Steve, I would welcome a comment from Mr. Gray. In this podcast, I gave his article and his techniques my own flavor and told the listeners what it has meant to me and how it has helped me primarily in shooting my Glocks in IDPA. I’ve seen some of his custom gun work on Sig’s and it’s superb.

    A lot of my shooting buddies shoot Sigs that Bruce has working on in IDPA/USPSA and they are works of art. Like you, I’m shooting a Glock 19 in USPSA Production as a “one year experiment”. My normal competition gun is a STI in Limited division.

    Just curious, which STI?

    STI Edge which has been worked over specifically for USPSA Limited Division. Your comments about “trigger slappers” in this episode hit home. I’ve been shooting a Single Action gun of one type or another for the last 18 years in competition. This year as an experiment, I’ve decided to shoot my Glock 19 (my carry gun) in Production for the sole purpose of practicing with what I carry. I’m having a hard time transitioning from a 28oz trigger on the STI to the 4.5# trigger on the Glock…and trying to get used to the trigger reset on the Glock. I’m not 100% there yet…but I am getting better.
