Wow mil-spec triggers are 9-10 pounds? Yikes! That's a really heavy pull. I think that's worse than my old commie PA-63 in DA.
Good information 🙏
Everything except for letting the gun decide when to shoot again through the reset of the trigger. If you want to shoot faster you need to get your finger off the trigger, holding it down will build bad habits when you want to go faster. (Accuracy, Speed) two most important fundamentals of marksmanship
Thanks for the upload loved it
Good info. Thanks.
Thanks
Thanks!
What rear sight is that!!
Clear and concise. Well done
Welp. Been pulling the trigger with my finger tip my whole life. That's…30+ years doing it wrong. Time for an old dog to learn new tricks.
I was stationed in fort benning. I've been out for a vary long time now and have built a Armalite AR10. I remember we use to do paper drills where the shooter would hold there unloaded rifle and aim at a piece of paper. There would be another person down range but only a few steps away with a pencil and the shooter would guide there pencil till the tip matched there sight picture and was centered on target then they would make a mark. I don't remember the distance but would love to do these exercises at home to improve my sight picture and help me with competition and hunting
When are you guys doing one with the new targets? Also the new qualifying standard
used a couple of these videos to supplement PMI. Great work
Thank you for the “Natural Trigger Finger Placement”! That makes me feel better about my finger placement.
I think SSG McElroy does an excellent job. His descriptive skills mixed with a little bit of humor get the message across very well.
great video. …
