2018-10-30 SRGC Practice

I'm continuing to focus on shooting on the move. The drill here involved setting up three targets through an aperture, where you could only see one at a time. The idea was to roll through the position, not coming to a stop at any point.

Two big takeaways from this drill:

1. Maintaining 50/50 grip tension on the gun provides way better sight tracking than squeezing harder with the support hand. There's very little time to be microsteering the gun while shooting a drill like this—the sights need to return perfectly.

2. You need to have the courage of your convictions in order to roll through positions aggressively. The targets are visible for only an instant, and then they're not. You need to be 100% confident that you'll get your hits in the time they're visible. And you want to be moving at a speed where you only get two shots.

I had a sensation that I was pressing the trigger when lifting a foot or hanging one in the air while shooting this drill. It was satisfying to watch the clips and see that that was indeed the case.
