Get Consistent Sight Alignment - HOG Draw Drill

Have you every drawn your gun and your sights aren’t where you want them to be? Yep, me too. I would say most everyone has been there at some point. So how do we get the sights to align? Simple, it’s probably in how you align your elbow when you are drawing. You’ll need to understand the left and right alignment, then the up and down alignment. This drill is straight out of the book, linked below. Let us know what you think in the comments. Also, yes the belts are finally out and for sale on the website, and Tom makes a cameo at the end after the gear breakdown.

This guy has such an unpretentious teaching style, you get the feeling that he just wants you to get better and doesn’t care what you think about him. So different from some others in his market segment. Earned a subscribe today.

@hazel-vf7on 9 ай бұрын

the elbow alignment deal is actually really interesting from an anatomical perspective. you can even do that without a gun in your hand. I tried doing it with a pointed trigger finger (trigger discipline comes in handy) with a simulated hold, and it's surprisingly useful drawing from the hip to on target. my index finger always points to wherever the barrel would point in that moment, so it will definitely come in handy dryfiring in situations where I don't have my gun on me.

This was a GREAT video. Such a simple concept that even after 30 years of shooting, I never realized. The elbow part especially. Worked your drill after watching and yep, it works like a charm. Hopefully, this makes me faster with practice.

This video completely changed the way I think about my draw. I have yet to get to the range since watching this, but through dryfire practice I can tell that my elbow was pointing way outside at the draw. The content was also presented in an extremely effective manner that was easy to comprehend and place into practice.

This is a great video. Love it and hard to argue with any of it. Ive asked my friend to watch this before i shoot with him. I shoot with a glock and a cz and he just doesnt understand this practice part. Just like i practicd throwing different knives every day, or my teeps in muay thai every day, you practice dry fire every day. When the time comes its muscle memory. Again great video!

Very helpful video! I actually purchased a TTrigger dryfire magazine, and with the help of your YT channel and Aaron Cowen's Sage Dynamics Videos... My RDS Pistol shooting has exponentially gotten better in just a short amount of time (2 months ~1000rds, 1 bajillion dry fire reps). I almost threw in the towel on a RDS pistol, I could never find the dot... But now I'll never go back. Thanks. 👍

Dude.. idk how I never thought of elbow alignment as part of the process.. When going real fast and pushing the tempo I’d get some deviation side to side here and there and it drove me nuts. Also, anyone considering doing one of his pistol classes, I’d highly suggest signing up for one. I’ve been shooting for a good while now and consider myself a pretty “functional” pistol shooter, and took a lot away from the class. Also, make sure to bring a PDP so Drew has a nice gun to shoot for the day 😂 Been diving into the book as well, lot of good shit in there and stuff that’s “outside the box” that makes you think WHY you’re doing what you’re doing. 🇺🇸

@ethanbarnes3973 it's definitely not uncommon. I'm at 2 hours, but I'm trying to classify at idpa as master in the carry optics. I feel I'd breeze through it but I want a surplus of skill I can fall back on to. I work on speed and the presentation from the holster mainly and making sure my trigger prep is immaculate so once the dot lands where I need it to under a second all I have is a slight dip.

There’s a good chance you’re dry firing inefficiently

@DLAC000 9 ай бұрын

@vmanshooting idk about the other guys but me personally I'm not rich so live fire is seldom. I've gone from MSP standards from white to brown in two months. I'm at the breaking point of meeting the black belt standards. I'll be taking his class in December, I'm literally .2 - .13 of meeting his black belt standards, and for me, it's been the draw and presentation that slow me down. I know what I'm doing wrong I'm just working to correct those ever so slight hiccups that keep me from getting there.

Some great details here I think will very much benefit me as someone new to red dots. It's in the mail. My struggle though will be transitioning from the three stance to the one. I'm used to defensive training where you shoot based on distance of the threat. So first stance is shooting from the waist etc etc. So this will have to be added to that in some way.

This is great advice. I'd also add that everything you learn from live fire, you should be applying to dry fire. Remember what it felt like when you got your shot on target and repeat that in dry. Go back to live and repeat the process. This has helped me a ton by simply self correcting over time.
