Those military videos are always very informative. It's hard to believe that keeping your finger off the trigger seems to be a very recent training idea.

Good stuff.

Trigger discipline has come a long way!

P.S.- Is that John Goodman a moment away from an A.D.?

too bad he couldn't possibly be hitting anything, his gun doesn't have a $200 trigger in it!

All that stuff and then some was taught at a local Appleseed shoot I went to.

The biggest help was proper sling usage and establishing your natural point of aim. And getting a feel for your respiratory pause, and shooting at a comfortable cadence, and well, it was all very good and useful info and practice.

Am I watching the wrong video? I see his finger on the trigger when it is pointed downrange only.

The comments on that page are retarded.

''AK-47. Gun that you can trust your life on.''

...Like the M16 would burst in your palms upon the first shot? :rolleyes:

I think i learned from this that @ 2:20a.m. when your very tired but
not ready to go to bed you will watch pretty much anything. :blink:
