Hey everybody Chris Sajnog from center mass group and today I want to talk to
you about how to use physics and how to use mechanics when you're shooting
instead of using what I call methods now this is the third part in my new rules
of marksmanship series and I just decided to do a video because I don't
feel like typing out a article today on how to do it so just real quick a couple
of things I want to talk to you about and hopefully with me showing you how to
do it rather than writing it down and giving you pictures you'll be able to
get it a lot quicker okay so when I talk about physics and mechanics and not
methods now what I mean by that is you know everybody has a different way of
shooting you know some people want to want to shoot in more of a Weaver stance
or an isosceles stance or some people want to you know hold a gun 6040 with
their pistol and you know i recommend it's a hundred percent but anyways the
reason I do that is because of mechanics so anyways here's here's where to start
so let's just start off with a carbine for example and one thing when i teach
shooting i teach the stance and everything the same way for the carving
as i do for the pistol so for instance if i shoot like this with my carbine
what you will notice is when i go to my pistol so I'm like this when i go to my
pistol everything is very similar so there's not a lot of movement so when
you're training with one weapon system you're also getting better with the
other one and that's really important okay so anyways mechanics so a couple
things with mechanics you want to get behind the gun
and the reason this shooting platform is so important is it's not so much
important if you're shooting one round okay because one round you can figure
out a way to do it with any stance with any grip I could stand on one foot with
one hand and get you know one round into the target if I really tried but when
you want to shoot longer distances when you want to shoot faster and multiple
shots that's when it's more and more critical to start using more mechanics
in your shooting okay so I want to get the gun into my shoulder and sometimes I
even say my chest I like getting it right below my dominant eye okay and
with your grip it should be the same grip you have with your pistol and I'll
talk about that in a second get your other hand your reaction or support hand
as far as you comfortably can on the weapon okay and then get some part of
your hand on top now I want to take the hinge system out so some people will
shoot like this and the guns going to recoil up and you're going to have a
hinge there so I want to take that out the way to do it is just rotate the
elbow out now that hinge system is gone okay so just bend the knees widen your
base and then you want to get your natural point of aim and just nosed over
your toes you know you want to be leaning forward but you don't want to be
exerting any effort to do that you don't want to be in a full squat where it's
hurting your legs and your and you're getting tired when you shoot so just you
know bend your knees lean forward nose over your toes and that's it and again
when you go to your pistol nothing can move and you're going to be in the same
position okay so let's talk quickly about your grip okay so mechanics I want
to cover as much of the gun as I can with my hand I want as many things
pointing forward as I can when I shoot and I want to have a hundred percent and
one % grip with with a gun now the reason I
do that is because if I need to shoot this gun under stress that's the way I'm
going to grab it i'm not going to grab the gun and think about sixty forty or
where's my finger on the face of the trigger i'm going to grab it i'm going
to squeeze it hard and i'm going to put my finger on the face of that trigger
wherever it lands now if you do this and you keep this knuckle you've heard me
talk about this before but if you keep this second knuckle right here point it
at your target it's impossible for you to either pull or push when you're
squeezing and also if you have a hundred percent in one hundred percent grip you
can't milk the trigger so you can't squeeze the whole gun and come off come
off your shop there so super easy so those are you know the mechanics that I
wanted to talk about I'll keep it short but make sure you look out for the next
video or article in the series and that's where I'm going to be talking
about focus but up before I forget I had mentioned that I would talk about a
children's book in this this part of this series so if you guessed it was the
three little pigs okay so the three little pigs understood that mechanics
are important right so one little pig built it out of straw the other out of
wood and the other one you know made it out of bricks so make sure when you're
shooting your shooting foundation that you are building it out of bricks and
anyways keep paving your path to perfection until we see you next time
