Beaucoup thanks to Sean for scooping up my primitivity and throwing it on here. An imperative unites these videos, and that is to fire only when there is vacant land for the bullet to strike. This makes for a small window in which to coincide sight with target, all of it in motion. The mind trains to hold fire when the shot is not safe; speed and the blur of sights and target without stop. To stop is to snap shoot, and that is a gamble with questionable returns. Better to carry over from great slow-fire training and FOLLOW THROUGH. Yes, follow through makes the other half of the shot, whether the target is stationary or moving. The first half consists of THE COORDINATIONS to get on target in the first place. The second half is to keep the barrel moving in line with the target as the bullet accelerates, in line either on or in front of the target, as leade requires.
Slow motion shows rhythm, from throw to balance, to mounting (sighting or the mindfulness of sighting), to follow through. SQUEEZE (call it what you want, I say “squeeze.”), happens somewhere on the continuous rainbow of mounting and follow through.

***** Sean.... beaucoup thanks. For anyone just tuning in, this AERIAL SHOOTING is based on firing only against a safe background or stop. Shots are NOT fired the sky. This limits the shot to the narrow angle between horizon and ground. Sighting starts with insuring target is proper. Stance and balance are aggressive to immediately register SIGHT PICTURE. A high-thrown target allows more time to acquire and is easier to hit against sky as a background. But a high-thrown target means that bullets which maintain ballistic integrity may have plenty of flight left, to drop beyond eyesight----and control. A pistol is not a shotgun; either you are ON, or OFF. Unlike the shotgun, where the eye is on the target, the eye must graphically connect pistol to target for the single bullet to work. Dry fire is excellent for forming the necessary sight picture and the importance of LEADE. The mind must see what the eye looks at. For any reason, if the background is not safe, hold your fire. You must verify this as you SIGHT, LEADE, SQUEEZE, and FOLLOW THROUGH. The mind must separate the visual jungle around the moving target top paint a flash sight picture. Determination and practice allow this type of aerial shooting to be safe. This particular aerial practice trains the eye for graphic separation on moving game. David Bradshaw |
