Shooter’s Say-so

"The website has introduced many new and novel concepts that made sense and gives us a fair idea of sir’s knowledge and dedication. The blogs were also a delight to read and one cannot help but read them over and over again."

" Through his website, and forum/blog, he has presented the entire technique of Pistol-Shooting in an extremely simplified, systematic, scientific manner, with detailed description and information of each fragmented component which when ‘defragmented’ or ‘assembled’ gives a lucid & an almost magical picture of the correct technique of shooting the ‘Perfect Shot’.”

Hello friends,

here I am again with a brand new video. In the last two videos we had discussed the relationship between your ‘thinking’ your ‘mood level’ your ‘energy level’ and your ‘concentration level’.

In the second video; how to shoot rows of 10? We saw what you should be thinking during the shot? And most importantly what you should be thinking between two shots?
1) In this video, you will learn the different types of shooters from Level 1 to Level 6 and how they shoot according to their thinking during shooting.

In this video, we will be discussing more about ‘thinking’. I want you to watch this video from start to finish, just watch it and then I will explain it to you one by one, here’s the video

In the video, you saw concentric circles which kept narrowing down. As the circles narrowed down, your groups became tighter.The Red Dot which kept moving in the head of that man, is the ‘thinking’, the path that your thoughts take, your attention on the different thoughts in your mind and the wider the thought pattern the wider is your group.

So in the video, you see different levels of groups from 6 to level 1 groups.Now in this level 1 group, you notice that the Red Dot, your focus of attention is very narrow and your group is 100 out of 100.

2) What a Level 1 shooter thinks during shot execution?

What is it, that a shooter who shoots a 100 out of 100 series is thinking?He is only thinking about one and one thing only. When the sights come into the aiming area, his trigger action should be smooth and continuous before during and after the shot is fired.

And the shot is executed within the perfect time when his ‘arc of movement’ is the smallest, his ‘focus’ is the sharpest and his ‘sights’ are the steadiest. The shot should go, when all these three things; your arc of movement your sight alignment and your focus is sharp. That the aiming process is perfect. And within a span of say 8 to 10 seconds your trigger should go off, should be executed smoothly, continuously before during and after the shot is fired within this period

Now between the shots, this shooter is continuously visualizing something like this;

The perfect sights coming into the aiming area, perfectly aligned, with a very sharp focus; reduced arc of movement and the trigger is moving smooth continuous before during and after the shot is fired as shown by the moving circle.
3) What a Level 1 Shooter thinks during one shot and the next?

This is what he is visualizing between one shot and the next shot. And during the shot, there is no other thought, except for the shooter, observing each and every step of the shot execution. That is when the sights come up from the shooting platform, move above the target, into the target C the aiming area; the trigger starts automatically, the shot is executed. His mind is focused merely on observing each and everything happening perfectly because this is what he has visualized in his mind between the shots.So during the shot, there should not be any thought in your mind. It is only observing.Observing of what is happening. What you have visualized perfectly between two shots. So this is what a shooter, who shoots a hundred out of 100 series is thinking between the shots and during the shot.

In the next video, we will be discussing the level 6 type shooter. Till then thank you, if you have any doubts please do not hesitate to contact me on my WhatsApp number, my cell number and my email ID.Please do not hesitate to subscribe to the video, share the video and hit the like button.
