"The trick is to hear silence in your mind at the bang"
Yep
The trick is to be as good as Miles is
You guys are putting out some of the best shooting content. Keep it up. Love the education.
Ross is the man. Great content as per usual.
You guys always put out the best content at the best times
Rossen is the best firearms instructor I have ever trained with. I highly recommend training with Rossen and Tactical Performance Center if you have the opportunity.
that accent thou
@@jmgonzales7701 a wise man takes knowledge from many sources
This is exactly what I needed. Got my Captain Crush ordered & on the way. Thank you!
I have been doing this since y'all showed it on TPC channel and it freaking works!!!!
Awesome explanation and demonstration 💪🏼🇺🇸
Love the professionalism and easy to understand explanations!
Back in my motocross days I did a similar exercise to isolate brake and clutch operation from my grip to prevent arm pump. I think trigger finger isolation works when you're able to be calm in the fight. If you're surprised by a lethal threat and suffer the full fight or flight hormonal dump, you'll be back to the convulsive grip and crouch which Rex Applegate recommends mastering as well.
Yes! Great explanation.
This is my favorite channel for firearm education.
Didn't see this one coming! Great stuff. Thanks, guys!
Love your videos! Keep up the great work 👍😉
Wow, Ultra Fine tuning your shooting! I Love it, these videos are Deep. Great Work 👍👍
I've been trying to improve my trigger pull as a newbie and wasn't improving much. That simple training method that Ross demonstrated. is genius. Plus how to actually measure one's progress. Thanks
Outstanding, informative video!
Awesome vid as always, thanks guys.
Love this channel. This exactly what I’m doing right now while shooting and understanding my error.
Good stuff! Thanks gents.
Bravo brahchet (brotha), appreciate the tips..excellent video gents
That’s awesome. Thanks!
That was amazing tips 👏
I rarely flinch when training, but in the tense moments of a competition, particularly towards the end of a stage I have caught myself flinching and unexpectedly missing critical shots... in Steel Challenge I have also noticed that nervous reaction. ;-) Nice explanation.
🔥 thank you!
keep it going, very good!!!!!
Thanks this was great content! I will definitely try the exerciser and drill. I do have a question, what is the poundage or force of the hand exerciser you used. I have some I use for strength training of my hands but they are probably too heavy.
to overcome any firing of a weapon experience the shooter must : relax while addressing the target in the manner you've described ... then squeeze the trigger while slowing breathing..it shall eliminate tension ... as far as anticipation the shot is concerned: well.. overcoming it comes with lots of target practice ..peace
Awesome info!
Very helpful
Damn, this is such good info!
Excellent
Very interesting, I'm going to try this.
The gripper works well but I wound up purchasing the lightest one as the one you recommended was a bit to firm for me. The lightest one is fine for this exercise
Oh can you make a vid on strengthening the wrist? Thanks.
Hi Tactical Hyve,, Is Myles is the Myles Vives that fought MMA in the Philippines in the arly 2000 representing Pure Bred Academy? Thanks
I have a bad flinch. Just ordered the gripper. I’m hoping this works.
Does it work the same way with a double action single action pistol
Nice
Niice!
Great shooting content for sure. Thanks for your tips #bestguntuber
When will the shop reopen?
Great tip. What Captains of Crush weight setting? I have a generic hand gripper and would like to know how to set the spring tension. Is it set on low, medium, or high?
Looking at the Captains of Crush Sport model on Amazon, it shows 80lbs.
to more accurately measure if firing hand tension is introducing a flinch, wouldn't it make sense to start without the trigger prepped? If you are adding tension during the pull it would be much more likely to manifest if you increase the distance the trigger finger moves.
Not necessarily.. most cases the roughest part of the trigger pull or most movement from it is when the trigger breaks and overcomes the striker/hammer whatever.. the take up is usually the smoother part of the pull
In double taps , second shot low left is recoil anticipation , flinching orr both ? Any remedies to that ?
Any hit low left (if you are a right-handed shooter) is a flinch. Anticipation will be low but centered.
What gun is Myles running?
I seem to flinch every time I pull the trigger and it doesn’t go off. It embarrassing at the range when I get a jam, or don’t notice that my slide is locked open. I pull the trigger, and when it would break, I dip the muzzle pretty bad. However, while doing so, I don’t miss AT ALL when the gun actually fires, and I’m back on target pretty fast.
I do the same. Sometimes the "flinch" is milliseconds after the shot breaks, which of course won't affect the shot's placement. Keep doing dry fire practice, using snap caps. Load up 2 or 3 live rounds, randomly, in a mag with the rest being snap caps. It will train you to not move when pressing the trigger since the majority of the shots will go click and not bang. Just a thought. Works for me.
how to not flinch: use a 2lb trigger on a 6000 gun jk love you guys
The comment I was searching for! Now try that with a heavy stock Glock trigger.
This worked for me with a CZ TS2 in USPSA…. Haha
I normally relax my dominant hand and that prevents flinch
Ah so ive been flinching not anticipating. A lot of people see you miss and automatically call it anticipating and ive been practicing for the wrong error.
GREAT INFO ABOUT REACTIVE FLINCH AND I ALSO USE ANOTHER AND THAT'S TO NOT CARE ABOUT THE BANG OF THE SHOT , JUST SIGHT ALIGNMENT AND EASY TRIGGER PULL FROM THE WALL. FOUND THAT FROM JOHN LOVELL ON WARPOET SOCIETY NETWORK! ALSO GREAT TRAINING VIDEOS THERE!
Creasy bear taught me a thing or two
....E X C E LL E N T !!!!
Wiw
Best way is to shoot 9mm and below.Fear makes us flinch!$!
Myles, You didn't look while reholstering a hot gun after that first shot. Did it again after shooting 3 more
There's no rule that one needs to look.
Ah, I see we meet again, Mr. Recoil . . .
Dry fire. A lot.
Thanks guys - From a soon to be, EX-Flincher 🤭
Doesn't this contradict your other video on active vs passive grip/shot anticipation vs recoil anticipation. One is good, ones not? Thanks. kzhead.info/sun/Z6aekq-crJGhiYU/bejne.html
They are two, separate schools of thought.
@@TacticalHyve 👍
Markmenship verus fatal shots needs to be discussed. A hole over and over again in marksmenshots doesn't mean kill shots....All over the fatal zones do.
First
🤣😂
🍪
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol, if you flinch while shooting then you don't belong near a gun....
Spurious comment. A large majority of first time shooters flinch. You probably did ...
