Sight Picture
Sight picture is taking the perfect alignment and aiming it at the target. It is not as simple as point and shoot as many movies may show it to be. Proper sight picture is when you take your sight and overlay it on the target. It is key to remember that the sight picture can be anywhere on the target, as long as it is nothing but the target you are going to shoot.
Sight Alignment
Sight alignment is centering the front sight in the rear sight, it considered to be more important than sight picture, because sight alignment will affect angular and parallel shift errors. If your slight alignment is correct than you will be able to shoot anywhere into that visual tube and hit the target. Though if your sight alignment is off by even a little, it is likely that you will completely miss the target.
Shaky/Small Targets
Some people are nervous shooters and may shake when they shoot. To prevent the shaking from affecting your shoot, put your sights center mass on your target and pull the trigger. When aiming at a smaller target you should divide the target into four and aim at the center.
In the video, I am shooting a Glock g17. This gun is the most widely used law enforcement pistol worldwide. While shooting, I worked on both my grip and sighting in order to get more consistent results.
My results were generally all in the same area, definitely much more accurate and precise than the past times. Where you ever nervous when shooting a gun? How did it affect your results in the end?

Wow this is so cool, that this is your blog. I am glad there are more people with action sports other than me, if you consider shooting a gun an action sport. When I shot a gun, I was very nervous. I didn't know what it would be like, but now I love it! It affected my results, because I would pull right and get off target. Awesome post!
ReplyDeleteI love to shoot guns and I really like how you chose this as your blog. I go shooting frequently with my family and I have shot many guns. With new guns I get really nervous since it's always my first time shooting them and I don't know how it will feel. When shooting new guns, in the end my results were a little bit everywhere but with practice and repetition my shots become more clustered. Do you have a lot of experience with a variety of guns? What is your favorite fun to shoot? Why?
