Simple enough.
I’ve mentioned in the past that I’ve finally hit a breakthrough with my eyes and am able to shoot both eyes open — I still see “double” but my brain is able to cut the path and know the right visual input. I shot the dry routine this way, and will keep shooting all my dry routines this way, because obviously shooting this way is NOT ingrained in me because as far as I can recall my life-fire is still closing one eye.
Shot with my full-sized M&P9, racking the slide for a proper trigger break every time. Of course, couldn’t practice reset. If someone can make a trainer in the M&P form factor that can simulate reset with a good ApexTactical-like trigger, oh, I would buy that in a heartbeat. I will generally practice this way, unless noted otherwise.
Also noticed a strong desire to firm up my grip, especially the ring and pinky fingers on both hands… which causes a lot of “pull” and tension in the wrist flexors. But that really helps me prevent any movement in the front sight as I work the trigger. Tight tight tight… and if you think you’re tight, you probably aren’t.
Do you have any experience with the Laser Lyte target trainers and laser carts? As shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txIJxz4VWHE
I might pick one of them up at some point– looks very handy, especially for safely practicing a concealed carry draw and fire.
No, but I’ve been curious about them. One downside to working with a laser is it makes you… look at the laser, instead of things like your front sight. But with this product, you don’t have to do that since it does it for you. So I’ve been curious about it for sure.
