Hey guys what's going on I'm retired Navy SEAL Chris Sajnog founder of
the new rules of marksmanship training system in this video I'm gonna teach you
how to stop slapping that trigger like it owes you money now let's go ahead and
get started
so what do I mean by slapping the trigger like it owes you money well it
means just jerking that trigger you're never gonna get what you want out of
that gun unless you just sit back and relax and stop messing up what that gun
can do you know firearms are inherently accurate and your only job as a shooter
really is to make sure that you don't mess any of that up so there's a few
things that you can do that can really help that and I'll tell you what jerking
or slapping that trigger is not one of them you cannot time your shots which is
what a lot of people try to do they wait for those crosshairs as they wait for
the front sight to get over that target right where they want it and they try to
time it so that the bullet magically goes where it was at that instant but
when you pull on that trigger you're disturbing the sights if you're not
doing it smoothly so you need to practice doing it smoothly and perfectly
every time you shoot and when you do that you'll be able to speed up
naturally but you're gonna be able to do it smoothly so here are a few ways that
you can improve your shooting and stop slapping that trigger like it owes you
money number one and you'll probably not be surprised hearing it from me is dry
fire training if you just sit and practice dry fire training and you do it
just pulling the trigger and you can do it just sitting down with your firing
hand on the gun of course practice all the safety rules and just feel what that
trigger feels like and nothing else just close your eyes and go back on that
trigger so you can like eel this seal release and you can feel the pressure on
the tip of your finger and you really get just a general feel for a smooth
trigger pull if you don't do that if you don't have any sense of what it feels
like if you don't sense that pressure you're
going to be slapping the triggers practice and just keep practicing until
that smooth trigger pull just becomes perfectly natural every time you pull
the trigger number two is when you're shooting practice what I call visual
patience visual patience means that what you
see is triggering your mind to tell your finger to move which really means
waiting for the shot to be there don't try to make the shot or anticipate the
shot because that causes a lot of shooting errors so just relax and
practice visual patience all right so the third and last one is just breathing
there's so many times I'll walk down the line when I'm running a range and I'll
see people shooting and I can tell they're holding their breath and when
you hold your breath your your body wants oxygen naturally and that's gonna
cause your finger to just jump and move so when you're shooting you should
actually be breathing a lot of times when I hear people talk about shooting
they talk about holding your breath to tell you the truth that's some of the
worst advice I've ever heard there's so many things that happen to your body
physiologically when you hold your breath your vision decreases you start
getting little tremors in your hands and your mental acuity also decreases those
are none of the things you want when you're shooting a gun especially when
you're under stress so just breathe normally and let your finger and your
eyes do the work for you I hope those tips have helped and until next time
