I was a range-master for 20 years and way always instructed to look at the front sight. In training it was always screamed "front sight, front sight" but no one ever explained how to focus only on the sight and everything else would cease to move. Spot-on! Thanks Chris. Thanks for serving America !!

@vlenkov38 Год назад

I just really can’t understand. Do you aiming with one eye closed? Because of non, and focusing on front sight, then target is visually doubled for left and right eye! I just can’t tell what copy is true. On the opposite, if I focus on the target with both eyes open, then pistol is double but I CAN what copy is true

tax dollars lol, in your life to this point you may have paid a dollar for the service of one man. Yet those that talk about tax dollars rarely do anything to serve back to the community or country they claim to support so hard and true. 95% of serving military joins from the lower middle class or poor and get out maybe in better shape financially but then when issues arise from service or adjustment to rejoining the strange world from professional killing which is what the service becomes for many in front line and supporting ground force specialties like combat engineers, transport, combat medics, even fuel tanker drivers saw intense combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, many MOS division personnel basically that may not do well sitting in a cubicle and feeling like they can exist in this way, and yet it seems that many people are less inclined to want to support the tax dollars for after care of my buddies, should they need long term medical and mental health care. It's not a front end only scenario.

I took personal training from an instructor who told me to focus on the target. My shots were scattered. When I started focusing on the front sight, not looking, my shot groups are tight, and I'm talking about a big hole in the middle of the target, whether it's the head or center mass. The techniques Chris teaches work. Be patient, try them and you will become a better shooter.

Trigger finger placement, grip, and this video have helped my shooting immensely. Changing those 3 things made shooting an entirely different experience. My M&P sight has 3 white circles you line up. Helps intense focus. Lining up my thumb with my index finger on the slide saved my grip. I have curved fingertips and the best advice I got for pulling the trigger was from this dude; do what feels best. I'm a significantly better shooter letting my fingers work naturally and my sight picture has improved. Thanks so much, my dude.

I guess i am defective... when I truely focus on the front site with both eyes open a blurry double target is there... the real bullseye on the right and the "extra one" in the left of my focused post. If I close my left eye the left blurry one goes away. I have seen people say focus on the target with both eyes open and on the post with 1 eye open.... that works better for me.

People may know the first one, but 2nd one may not be inside their view. It occurs when your govts. push you way ahead of your capacity to squeeze resources out of you to win objective-less wars which becomes the reason for crime rates going higher under weak financial circumstances of people leading to murders through sucides, killings in robberies, home invasions, rapes, etc. Even today's western family institution has been perished... And you know where was its basis?? Just one word i.e. "Teenager"... Originated in early 1900s. Before that even American society had modesty in terms of relationships between men and women, but today women have been transformed into public properties, so sorry to say!! But that's the most sophisticated word I could use... And western women have been developed by today's american culture to dream about themselves as the "BEST PRODUCT IN THE MARKET FOR MEN'S LEISURE"... They literally don't have any rights, except for show-cased rights. They are ill treated and and considered as a product for satisfying male lust. And the saddest part is that they taught to think like that and consider it as their freedom!! Uuuhhh!!! Though it's fun at the beginning, but a baby is conceived in girl's belly, not the boy... And they ususally separate before the conceiving baby. The odds are against women.... They are exploited upon their weaknesses... Nature made them weak in physique generally, but American culture wants them to see similar to men , NOT EQUAL.

I also worked on getting the same grip each time I drew from my holster. ALL guns are always loaded. Never point or aim at something your not ready to destroy. I like how you said make your front site even smaller to better focus on your entry point. 👍

@CoolestDude38NC 2 года назад

I dabbled in CMP high power rifle and took several high power rifle clinics. One of them was taught by a retired Marine Corps rifle marksmanship instructor. He taught us "to focus HARD on the tip of the front sight!" He also told us to ditch skinny front sight posts (anything less than .072" wide). This technique of really focusing HARD on the tip of the front sight post really does work. When I do it, I shoot well. when I dont focus hard on the tip of the front sight, my shooting sucks. The thing is, it takes a lot of mental energy to focus hard on the front sight post, particularly if you are fatigued or just finished a long walk in the woods. But it works too well. This is the technique of very basic iron sight rifle marksmanship (and pistol marksmanship) that the entire U.S. military used to teach up until sometime in the sixties when the M-16 was adopted. Focus HARD on the tip of the front sight and the target should be blurry and your groups will tighten up. If the front sight post is blurry, you need glasses to correct to 20/20 vision.

@carlz948 4 года назад

When I first started shooting (in competition), I had the benefit of learning from some excellent shooters (a state champion; an Olympic alternate; a police national champion). They all stressed the importance of focusing on the front sight. One of the first things they had me do was apply some "White-Out" to the front sites to try it out. It didn't take long to make it permanent! When my "group" was NOT a group - and I adamantly maintained that I WAS focusing on it, they disagreed. They then went on to prove it to me and it is a drill I still use and used when teaching my wife how to shoot. Hang the target up BACKWARDS! And, like magic, my group became a group right in the center. PROOF that I was looking at the target. Try it and I bet you will amaze yourself! Thanks for all the visuals and for sharing the importance and some exercises on how to train!

@bikersoncall 4 года назад

I did this at the shooting range with a new pistol that I had never shot before. It works. I hadn't shot much for a couple years and my groups were good - better than previously. I mentioned to the range master that I want to practice more to get better groups. He said that my target was pretty good already. Each day before I put away my carry gun, I draw and focus on the front sight for practice, while pointing in a safe direction with my finger off the trigger. With this regular practice, my focus gets easier. With a box of 100 rounds, my groups are better than before. Thank you for reminding me about what I knew I should be doing. And yes, by focusing on the front sight, I can still track the target much better than I thought possible.

Chris Sajnog I remember a thing that worked for me when I was assigned to my battalion marksmanship team for the 82nd Airborne Division, we were told to use a Bic lighter and hold the flame on the front sight post for a second or two, it would put carbon on the sight and make it blacker (matte black basically, so it wouldn't reflect light back toward the eye, and just like that appliance paint, it wipes off.) I could focus more on the front sight post and not on the side shields, and could line up more precisely on the target.

@clay1883 3 года назад

Chris, thank you for your service. Many people shoot for decades and never really get the consistent accuracy they are looking for. Front sight focus can't be stressed enough. (and sight alignment). Nothing else will work until a shooter believes this and uses it for every shot. This one important technique and the mental aspect of shooting allowed me to be "Double Distinguished" (NRA Police Combat) and "Expert" with pistol and rifle in the Army. You are so correct...It can't be stressed enough. Almost sounds too easy to a new shooter! Many shooters don't know the difference between sight alignment and sight picture, and no one ever told them.

I have no professional training, I’ve been shooting since I was young, maybe 6 or so when my dad taught me to shoot a .22. My dad also has no training. He’s a pretty good shot from what I remember but nothing crazy. As someone who has no training but some years of experience as a casual shooter, this video is mind blowing. I think I’m gonna try this with my .22 Ruger. The white on the front sight is worn off because it’s an old gun and I find it hard to focus on the sight. My brother has a Hi-Point carbine in .45 and the sights are a rear aperture ring and a front post with a ring around it and it’s much easier to focus on the front sight even despite the fact that they’re just black sights.

"With practice, you can do this instantly." So the opposite of instantly. Got it.

Lol. I think he means, the act of focusing will take place instantly - with practice.

@fuzzy121 Год назад

This really does work. After some time of doing this I can now draw from a hand on the gun as it is sits in the holster and double tap center mass in 1/3 of a second. And I can do it every time. Just takes practice.

Thank you for this. I just bought a Taurus TX, 22. First time buying a gun. I'm gonna be trained on how to use it. I have been trying to watch a lot of video's to learn about handling and shooting my gun. I took 2 safety course's pass them both. But still nervous about shooting it. I will never stop watching videos until i start to feel comfortable with it. wish me luck on training plz.

@donwrig5529 8 лет назад

Thanks Chris. Your lessons continue to highlight the basic tenet of perfection of never stop training, and learning. Too many folks look for a quick and easy fix to their inconsistencies in accuracy. The coolest firearm in the newest magazines, the newest ammo, and sweetest cool guy gear, cannot improve your proficiency as much as the most basic practices, and attentions to basics. This cannot be overstated.

@TheHortonOfficial 3 года назад

I’m gonna make a 13 minute video explaining how to squeeeeeze the trigger, don’t jerk it, squueeeeeeze it. In combination with focusing on the front sight and squueeezing the trigger, you will undoubtedly become a more effective shooter overnight. This is brilliant stuff folks.

I watched your video, applied color to my front sight and re-applied the fundamentals of NPA, and behold I was a entire new shooter today. Thank you for helping me improve, before I thought I was just bad with small arms, now I can recognize my mistakes and correct them.

@robbrooks3418 2 года назад

Badass range instructor basically gave me private lessons one day for f’ing free. Told me the back sight and target should be a blur and only the front sight should be in focus. Had me do dry fire drills and after a few small corrections I was literally shooting thru the same bullet hole 10 times in a row, f’ing amazing

The other, I head out to the desert and set up targets to practice shooting. I’ve never been formally instructed beyond “float your trigger finger unless you’re ready to fire” and “don’t anticipate recoil”. Watching these videos has been immensely helpful and now I’m itching to get back up to the desert to try it out. Thank you, Chris!

Focusing on the front sight is what I was just taught in my pistol shooting class. Although I am pretty good at grouping my shots, I still have a long way to go. I need to improve in ALL aspects of shooting, but I am going to work on this aspect a lot more.

@RahRahRaharu 9 лет назад

I once shot this devious course of fire involving a crap ton of different color balloons.It was all about drawing your focus off the front post and onto the target. That was an interesting moment that I realized I had actually progressed as a shooter.

@drm3259 7 месяцев назад

Uhh, just so you know front sight focus is essentially out the window. With RDS's becoming way more popular target acquisition is more important, as is shooting with both eyes open. I was taught to shoot in the Marines so I understand the importance of it but really, with a proper shooting stance, most high level shooters at this point aren't even acquiring their sights anymore.

@mulcahy123 5 месяцев назад

So the target will look blurry because we're supposed to focus on the front sight?

@ratmousebastard 4 месяца назад

@@drm3259 I'm struggling with the 'both eyes open' technique, was at the range yesterday and tried it and I couldn't wrap my head around it at all. All I see is double vision, double vision of my gun / my gun's sights, and double vision of my target... If i just focus on the target, then I have no control of my gun, if it's even pointing anywhere near where I'm trying to hit. I ran through a few clips, and it was a total mess (I'm shooting a handgun, iron SIG 3-dot tritium sights, standing with no support, at 4inch targets at 10 yards/30 feet) .... any suggestions?

I'm 68y.o. Shot my first sq. @ 3.5 y. o. Was taught to shoot by dad, both g-pa, one g-ma, numerous g-uncles, and one g-aunt. My shooting ability is not "gnat's eye/Bull's eye @ 1,ooo yds", BUT..., it has served me well for a lifetime. I was not taught 3 or 5-shot groups. I was taught ONLY the next shot matters, so make it count. The absolute BEST advice(from non-family member) came from a fellow that was a military shooting team member. He said, "You're doing good, just relax and 'point' as if you're pointing your finger @ the "X"." Worked like a charm. And still does. On stationary or moving targets. Gud enuf 4 me.

Listening to your video brought back memories of when my Dad taught me how to shoot. He was a sniper in the Korean war. When I was old enough to hold a bb gun rifle he was giving me lessons. I stopped shooting for a few years, ok a few decades. Apparently I forgot some important things he taught me. One in which focusing on the front sight. I was a pretty decent shooter back in the day. I have in the last five or so years taken shooting up again. Forgot how much fun it was. I can't wait to get to the range to practice what you retaught me that I forgot. Thank you for this. I will be watching again. Joseph

Hi Chris I started with your focus videos they work well. I have a CZ PO 7 with trijicon sights as from the factory and after I blacked out the rear sight's 2 dots I can focus much beter on the front sight and that works defenately. I'm from South Africa and being in the military myself I support the Navy Seals and have so much respect for you guys. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

@dr.erelevant9204 Год назад

Great video! The reason the magenta dots disappear is because your cones are quickly saturated with stimuli, so it requires movement of the eye to fire impulses from different cones that aren’t stimulated. When you don’t move your eyes at all, your cones stop sending signals that the dots are present.
