Draw/Fire and Reloading Practice...

After reading the Brian Enos forum for awhile, I saw that they have a place where people can post videos of themselves practicing, and get feedback from others. Of course, it is important to be the type of person who can actually appreciate and use feedback, because when you post a video, that is exactly what you get---from many, many sources, picking apart tiny little details, and critiquing everything you do. If you are the type of person who takes everything personally, it isn't for you. :)

Anyway---in this case, I thought it would be handy for me to record myself doing various draw/fire sequences, and also some reloading, so that I can carefully take a look at exactly what I'm doing. I know what I think I'm doing, but that doesn't mean that is what is actually happening.

I don't think I'll post this one on the forum, but I will probably in the future, after I've had awhile to work on what I see as wrong. If I can fix those things, then I'll post another video on the forum site to let the experts comment. I realize that it would be smarter to get the expert's views first, and then practice it right from the start, but I really want to see what I can do on my own.

After all, I've gotten this far on my own. We'll see how far I can take myself.

So---the video. At the end, you can see the sorts of things I believe that I need to work on fixing immediately. Smaller details will come later.



...so that's what it looks like. Feel free to comment about things I should be fixing that weren't on the list.
