Chris, in my job I am required to qualify with my firearm every quarter of the year. Shooting is one of my struggles of my job. Often time I am required to remediate my qualifications in order to keep my job. After many books and videos, your are the ones that made the difference. Watching your videos has made a good marksmanship with my weapon and I don't worry about losing my job anymore. I can't thank you enough for your training videos they made a big difference in how I now shoot with my weapon. Thank you for your past service to our great country and now to your fellow man. Thank you!!!!!!

I drove home thinking that I have horrible eyes and crappy sights. Watching your video has helped me understand that I now need to practice with my focus. I was telling my wife that all I see is a white line when aiming. Now I need to focus on the front sight and keep my gun pointed at the target. Thanks a bunch!!

Wow. Thank you Chris for this awesome video. I watched this last night and hit the range today. My groupings are amazing. Wished I could show pics but basically my 5 shot groupings looked like 2 holes on the paper. It was hard at first but once you grasp the concept of focusing purely on the front sight and blurring out everything I was hitting 1/4" back to back and all this was done on my G43. Keep up the great work.

The focusing techniques provided have helped me to focus on the sights in an improved manner and increased my ability to draw a bead quickly with minimal effort. I am putting more effort into the dry environment before returning to the range and applying the techniques described here. Psychologically training your mind to do something is one of the most powerful tools in your trunk. I look forward to testing these new ideas.

It is the most valuable lesson I ever received for three years, I started to shoot. I "saw" the front sight clearly, maybe just a month ago and the results have improved immediately. Now, this video was confirmation of my own experience. It seems no one and did not hide, but so clearly no one ever explained. Thank you very much!

Thanks Chris for your Over The Top informative Vids. I am an Armed Security Officer and because I was based in Australia, and now I am back in Italy, I really couldn't practice that much at the shooting range over there, as they have really strict rules for guns, even if it's a tool we constantly work with everyday for our job. In Italy it's easier to own your personal gun, so finally at least I will go from now on every week, at the shooting range to practice. Your videos are truly unbelievable and I thank you for helping everyone here to improve our skills. I am not that good, mainly because in Oz I couldn't practice. I promise I will improve a lot of gaps in my shooting. God bless you man and so your Family. I already signed as a member in your website. Thanks again for everything. Carus 👍👍👍😁

Crazy that I found this video. I was at the range on Tuesday practicing teqnique and I noticed my groups were far better when I focused on the front sight leaving the target blurry. I remember I read somewhere that you should focus on the front sight but that's all I remembered so I tried "looking at it" and focusing on it. Going to try this again Monday.

Chris, until recently I have never really spent anytime firing a pistol ( I am 58). I bought my first pistol a few weeks ago. First range day was unimpressive. I hit the target but not consistently. So, went online to figure out how to fix my shooting. I found your lessons and started training, with a plan. Wow what an amazing difference. Next range day, I could consistently place shots exactly where I intended. I can easily group five rounds into a 1 inch circle at 30 feet. With one eye closed, for now Still working on keeping both eyes open. Thanks.

Wonderful video Chris! At the age of 14, I learned the art of focusing from an adult hunter. I had a pellet gun at the time and I couldn't hit squat. The hunter put a small orange mark on the tip of the front sight and I started hitting everything dead center! I am 69 now and have used the same principle on all my guns. I also learned to shoot with both eyes open. I don't hunt anymore but go to the gun range about 3 times a month. Still shooting good.

I have to say, I'm new to owning & shooting handguns. I'm good enough to hit the target (body frame) but my grouping is horrible. I tried this technique today. Amazing results! I'm seriously slow about focusing and I lose the focus a lot, but I stayed with it and it showed. This is with one day training. I always looked at the target and still find it hard to believe I need to look at my front sight instead. But it works. Thanks for this. New subscriber.

If you think about it, you'll not likely have time to extend arms a not settle in for when you need to shoot. Think old western shooting. Few actually aimed with sites....shot from the hip. Finger pointed at target. Look at marksman videos, fastest draws etc. As an example, you come out of bedroom get shot in arm from burglar and have to shoot from a prone position in pain. Or similar outside...target shooting isn't same as real life. What he says about eye movements..its true

I practice focusing on 200 rounds. Now all i want to do is shoot at the range and get better. I was just amazed at how one single thing changed my aiming ability so much. I even picked up some acrylic paint today to make my front sight more bright white and it helps. Best video I've seen on learning to aim better. Thanks so much man.
