A New Defensive Pistolcraft Newsletter

 Jon Low has published his latest Defensive Pistolcraft newsletter. A lot of links and comments, as always. One issue that caught my attention because Jon discusses it at length has to do with right handed shooters hitting low and left. Jon writes:

     There are a lot of videos on the internet purporting to teach you how to solve the PROBLEM of right-handed pistol shooters scattering low left (or left-handed shooters scattering low right).  Almost all of these videos are wrong.  

     The REASON some right-handed shooters scatter low left is that they are anticipating the recoil, and pushing against it.  This push is an autonomic nervous system response to the learned recoil.  (It doesn't matter how small the recoil is.  The recoil is felt, because it exists in reality.)  

     The SOLUTION to this problem and all other autonomic nervous system responses (push, jerk, flinch, freeze, etc.) to the recoil and report of the firearm is the "surprise trigger break".  ...

 He then goes on to describe how to achieve and train for the surprise trigger break. He also notes a similar concept with archery. Check it out, as well as the many other links, tips and comments.
