Trigger control yet again...


While I've been shooting for well over a quarter of a century, I'm constantly paying attention to my trigger control - it's that important.  Here's Mike Seeklander's thoughts.

Bump drill.

Once again, Bruce Gray gives us a great way to work on trigger control.



Bruce Gray on accurate (enough) shooting

Bruce makes many excellent points.

Highly recommend SWAT magazine

Just some exerts from the past few months...

Max Joseph - arm your targets - why would you shoot an unarmed person?

Darryl Bolke & Wayne Dobbs - first two seconds of a gunfight are the most important.

Pat Rogers - a gun with out training is a liability, not an asset.

Lots of nuggets there...

Overpenetration !

One constant on the gun forums is that when someone mentions using a .223/5.56 caliber rifle for defense, someone will immediately yell "overpenetration".   Tain't so.  Using something other than FMJ ammo will give both enhanced performance and limited penetration.  Here is the hands down best experiment done on that subject to date:


Very interesting!

Folks in Ohio are doing a series of interviews.  Those interviewed are well known gun folks, like Kathy Jackson, Todd L. Green, Dave Spaulding and Tom Givens.  Enjoy!

Easy listening!

Why this blog?

When I first got formal instruction (that I paid for), about 30 minutes after we started shooting, the instructor looked at something I was doing poorly.  He (Tiger McKee) suggested a simple fix.  Worked like a charm.  If I didn't get anything else from the course, that tip was worth the expense.  Seriously.  (got lots more though)   www.shootrite.com is Tiger's web site, highly recommend.

So, what I'm going to try to do is use this blog to record tips, techniques and procedures that I see in various places on the web and in books and magazines.

Perhaps I can turn on a few "lightbulbs" for folks...
