When Should You Use Low Gun?
These days, it seems like target setters are giving shooters less time to hit the first target to make the second target consistently broken. This evolution has changed the game from a low gun to a high gun game. With distance comes a slower muzzle movement but with less time to keep the muzzle movement slow to match speed. This means we have had to eliminate the mounting of the gun. So, our coaching has shifted to a m... Read more…

It sees where it is. That leaves 99.98 percent in our periphery. Our sharp vision cannot see ... Read more…

So, when anybody takes any time off of anything, no matter what you do, you need to go back to the basics. Whenever I ramp back up before we go shoot at Nationals, the first thing I start with is the basic three-bullet drill, and get that grinded... Read more…
Can You Have Control Over Time?
When we teach new students our system, they're just gobsmacked with how simple it is and how the brain will take care of all the stuff that they've been trying to take care of.But several things have to happen in a sequence for that to happen.The first and most important thing is you have to see the bird coming to the barrel. It has to be coming to you because if it's coming to you, the brain can then predict where it'... Read more…
