Did you know you can aim a pistol without using your eyes, i.e. not looking at your iron sights or red dot? Your body already wants to aim at a certain point in front of you-you just need to find your natural point of aim.
Watch today’s video where Myles, the Founder of Tactical Hyve, demonstrates how to aim a pistol without using your eyes.
He talks about natural point of aim and its importance, and he talks about how to find it.

I taught my self this (sort of this) when i was a kid. We carried single action 22s in cowboy drop holsters. Shooting from the hip was the deal. It was amazing how quickly muscle memory learns.

@a10sim Год назад

I used to do this with my Sig P220. I was always amazed when I opened my eyes, my sights were pointed right on the target. It seemed to me that the P220 was incredibly naturally pointing more than any of my other pistols. I wish I could say that it became my daily carry weapon, but I carry micro 9mms nowadays. This video inspires me to try this drill anew. Thanks Miles.

I was in the military and law enforcement for all of my adult youth. I have had only one real, mutual, close distance gunfight in my life and it was at about 3 yards. I distinctly remember a sense of time slowing down dramatically after seeing his weapon being drawn, then I made surprised/confused eye contact with him and saw my sight picture overlay his eyes and my shots surprised me, and obviously him. I’m not saying everyone will see their sights, it’s just how it happened in my case. I was squared off with him by the way, this is good info.

How am i supposed to see with the blast shield down? Stoked to learn that the force works with firearms as well.

Back when dinosaurs roamed and the earth was still cooling my mother was a ranked bullseye shooter. In her 80's now but can still keep everything on the paper (12") at 50 yds with her eyes closed.

I remember using that Cromagnan shoulder pocket to fit your rifle in that old school oblique firing position (you know)the one that looks like every long range tactical movie sharpshooter does! (Done in every war film, since 1996) Putting on the sabretooth skins and hunting trex for luggage and belts, so we may bargain with the white man. Lmao

I practice shooting on draw from yhe hip. I was already naturally hitting center mass every time. I practice with a blowback pellet gun.

@MAGAMAN Год назад

I can't wait for his next video on how to shoot your pistol without using your hands.

@gob7116 Год назад

Aiming with your body, primarily with your hips is usually the best tactic when transitioning and is the long standing rule in the competition world. The eyes see the target and the hips turn towards the target keeping the upper body relatively the same. The hands and arms are there for minor adjustments and in running the gun while the body is what does the majority of the aiming. It makes up for a lot quicker time than being a tank turret turning towards the next target.

@tazzywazzy7599 Год назад

Thank you Miles. I'm trying to learn this so i can ring 10" steel several times in a row rather quickly without missing a shot. I've been practicing aiming with my sternum. Now i know to adjust my hips too. Your the best Miles👍👍

@TacticalHyve Год назад

Glad you like the content! Don't forget to work on a good, consistent grip (to accomplish your short term goal of ringing steel rapidly).

@tazzywazzy7599 Год назад

@@TacticalHyve Yes, i watched you video about proper grip, so I'm applying that too. Thank you👍

@eddiemelikian2440 Год назад

Miles you have a great one here. I know that dark glasses look cool but they do cut down on visibility as they hide your eyes. Would clear shooting glasses be better to see sights with?

@ericrumpel3105 Год назад

....at near 60 years old, & my father starting me in shooting at age 4 & just LOVING it as much as he did, (it was his ONLY hobby & vacation, whether away from home, or not, he did absolutely nothing else besides work, eat, & sleep....seriously), & with the little training, but LOTS of practice I've had in my life, aswell as alittle competing I have done in IPSC & USPSA, I seem to have sometimes forgotten quite a few things you bring up in your videos, &, I Commend & Thank You young Man refreshing/rebooting my old mind & replacing my sd card.....lol....Thanks fer sharing & making these videos, btw - you are a great instructor - VERY precise & clear !!....Thanks Again !!

@DefangtheSnake Год назад

Well done Miles, the only thing I have to say is, you alwaysn have a natural point of aim, you do not need to find it, you have to adjust it to your taregt or better get it aligned with your wanted point of impact, as always well done video, thanks...❤❤

@djkak5320 Год назад

Another awesome video! I am extremely interested in topics like these since I’ve been immersed in this discipline for 2 years this month. My experience over the last 2 years and 6,500 rounds, is that the fundamentals like stance, grip, trigger manipulation and muscle memory are the foundation for accuracy when it comes to defensive handgun shooting. My growing sense is that after acquiring strong fundamental skills, the key is to train the brain to focus exclusively on the center of the intended point of impact; make your target small and lock on to it. Easy to say and extremely difficult, at least for me, to master. While I can step into the “zone” periodically, I can’t yet control when or for how long. The contrast in performance between shooting in and out of the zone is insane! This training is essentially learning how to “Clear your mind and use the Force”. My current goal is to achieve a consistent 3” group from 15 feet, with the shot breaking while in motion, milliseconds before the pistol stops moving. My trainer is a G-19. The sights have been covered with black tape since day-1. I’ve also recently started training with large safety glasses with the lenses covered completely with black tape, except for a 1/16” deep, horizontal slot across the center of the lenses. The goggles prevent me from “registering” the slide during the push out, helping me to stay focused on the center of the target. If you have good body mechanics and muscle memory, the goggles aren’t an obstacle. Every shot is a miss. It isn’t possible to precisely place the center of the round through the center of the target. The question is, how little was the miss? Think small!

@Monster11B Год назад

There is also a natural point of aim for long guns. I was taught it in the army years ago. I didn't think to apply it to pistol, but it makes a lot of sense. Since I carry pistol constantly, I intend on applying this immediately into my personal training. I think I was unconsciously trying to apply it but also discounted the hip positioning. Thanks Miles.

@bobvedder2451 10 месяцев назад

I do remember being taught this with the m16 in the army.

@flyboy8752 Год назад

Sure wish I could remember who it was I heard on a podcast (concealed carry podcast maybe, a few years ago) that was talking about how he had to train to GM (I think) without sights on his pistol. Great way to really hone in your natural point of aim and basic gun indexing though!

@tristantimothy1004 Год назад

THANK YOU! As an Alaska bushman whoes been bear attacked 5 times, 3 up close THIS kind of shooting is what saved my butt. Still got run over & knocked down but not mauled. Response time is 1-3 SECONDS if your lucky. I guarantee you, you will never have TIME to use your sights @ 10 yards or less. Even with the rifle if you can get it up in time the best you'll get is looking down the bbl & shooting center mass as fast as possible. SIGHTING will NOT be an option. When I see the newbie hunters up here w red dots on their backup sidearm I just want to smack the snot out of them for being THAT stupid. Bears are FAST & NOT moving in a straight line & they're head is all over the place. I can't imagine an attacking human being much different. I've been " Sence shooting for 38 years but never even thought of doing it with my eyes closed. EXCELLENT training point. WELL DONE!!

@nickmarcantonio Год назад

@fanman8102 Год назад

Excellent! I would add if you’re missing or your hits are all over the place, you need to adjust/tighten up your grip. As I said, excellent!

Any tips for cross eyed dominant shooter? Natural point of aim is pretty center but can’t see the dot

@mungerb Год назад

When I open my eyes, I'm looking down the sights with my non-dominant eye. Assuming it's because I'm cross eye dominant, what will likely provide the best results; training to use my non-dominant eye so my body is in its most natural position for firing, or still use my dominant eye and accept that my stance won't be completely natural? Or something else? Good stuff! edit: I'm left eye dominant and right handed shooter.

@kipup413 Год назад

At last someone explained me what natural point of view was!

@mhl2674 Год назад

Which I could find an outdoor place where I can practice this stuff. Will have to stay on my Shirt for now lol.

@daniel_bernhard_ Год назад

Quick question, if you have two targets with which one should you line up and where do you stand, in the middle or in front of the first one?

There is not black and white answer. Different shooters have different opinions.

@bobvedder2451 10 месяцев назад

What if you are trying to shoot from cover?

@oddsparrow8522 Год назад

Brian Eno practice this really much and even shoot like this - his book is the bible for practical shooters if you ask me - this is an nice practice but you need to have your grip worked out first. If that is not stable/consistence you have an other factor to handle that will screw this up.

@johnhalpin1847 Год назад

you were 7 ft away LOL. Just did NPA no sights 45 ft everything in the 8 ring

@kellywalker8407 Год назад

Interesting video, thank-you. Seeing how I found two thousand misplaced primers the other day, I'm going to try this technique, especially after putting a red dot on my snub nose revolver. Inch and a half groups at 25 yds. My hardcast max bear rounds are still under 2.5 inches. You can not make this up. Talk about winning the lottery, this little prick is a shooter. Anyway, I appreciate the info and gonna give her a try with the closed eye thing.

@fat_basturd5345 4 месяца назад

Natural aim would be simple if you could change the dynamics of the weapon to fit your natural stance. A simple way to change grip angle would be effective. I’m from an area that uses shotguns often and how a shotgun fits you (stock length and drop) can make you an ace or a dud. Winchesters fit me, I can shoulder them and the aim point is exactly where I’m looking. Brownings on the other hand when I shoulder them I can’t even see the sights and have to readjust. My point being is there needs to be a way to adjust a weapon to you.
