for the new shooters
So I didn't do this to be critical of anyone, but mainly for the new shooters. We are all here because we like to shoot and we like the M&P series. I did it because I see almost daily, someone post a target, and everyone immediately begin telling the shooter what they need to do to improve. What bothers me, is that if I were a new shooter, by the time I got finished reading the responses, I'd be more confused, and led to believe that the only way to make accurate shots, is to have a perfect stance, a perfect grip, and perfect everything else. My point is that, yes you want a good stance if your firing rapidly so that your body absorbs the recoil and your right back in target when you fire. Same with grip. To fire fast accurate rounds, you need a grip that's close to the axis of the bore and maximizes friction on the grip, followed by bio mechanical efficiency of locking the muscles and tendons in the elbows and wrists. Then there's sight alignment and sight picture. Most people understand this, and it's critical for tight groups, and distance, but once you master the other stuff, you can knock the sights off the weapon and quickly deploy accurate rounds out to 25 yards with practice. (Side note)....it's easier with a weapon that's rounded on top than with a squared slide, but it can be done. That brings me to trigger press. That's your bread and butter. If you can learn to set whatever jacked up grip you might have, and then isolate the muscles in your trigger finger, so that you can press the trigger straight to the rear without interrupting the sight picture, you can make accurate shots. It doesn't matter if your standing on one leg, lying on your side, lying on your back with the weapon upside down. If you never master trigger press, none of the above will help you. This was fired from 7 yards right hand only with only my middle finger wrapped around the grip. I didn't have a crushing two hand grip. Just one hand wobbling around and focused on my sights and isolating my trigger press. Yes, one got away, but that is why we practice. Good luck everyone, keep shooting and keep the 2nd alive and well.
IF THIS IS YOUR FORUM TOO! Post your opinion below PLS. What do you think about this?
