Why this course
What it's actually about.
Almost every accuracy problem traces back to grip, sight alignment or trigger management. This course covers the fundamentals in the order they should be built, along with how to diagnose your own groups.
It pairs well with range time. Watching it changes nothing; applying it changes a lot.
What it covers
- Building a consistent, repeatable grip
- Sight alignment and sight picture
- Trigger press and follow-through
- Stance and its actual (limited) importance
- Diagnosing common accuracy errors from your target
