Carl Bernosky
Shooting consistently good standing stages is a matter of getting rounds down range, with thoughtfully-executed goals. Your hold is the first thing that will determine your success. To shoot 10s, your hold must be 10 Rings. This means that you should have enough time to ensure that your sights are in your best hold. It is not worth paying attention to sights that are not in the middle of the frame. This is wasted energy. My best hold time is 5 seconds after I look through my sights. I’m ready for the shot at that moment. If the gun doesn’t stop, I don’t shoot. I start over. The gun must be still in your hold while you execute the shot. If the gun moves, it is most likely moving out of your hold, and you have missed the best part. You can fire the shot by recognising that the gun is still within your hold and sitting still. You can train with dry fire or live fire to develop awareness of the gun sitting still. It’s not conscious to me, but it’s close. When you shoot the shot, don’t disturb it. However, I don’t believe in using dummy or ball rounds to surprise the shot. Every shot is taken in conscious. Sometimes I make a mistake and I hold the camera. These mistakes are less common the more I train. My gun will drop if I get a dud around it. * You can’t learn to ignore recoil. It is important to be consistent in your response to it. Know your hold and shoot within the limits. My hold is approximately 4 inches in diameter. Once things are moving, I can recognize a still pistol in my hold and execute the shot. This is what I practice every shot. Close 10s are acceptable. Mid-ring 10s are not. I would train the same way if my hold were 8 inches. You should shoot the shot while it is still in the hold. Don’t accept shots that aren’t in the hold.6 Practice makes perfect. It matters how many rounds you fire at the range. It’s amazing to think how many rounds I have fired standing in my entire life. Perry still requires me to shoot standing for a month before I feel comfortable. About 2000 rounds of standing shooting 22 shots per minute in the month that precedes Perry. It is a great feeling. It is a very noticeable trait for me when I shoot pistol. My pistol will drop noticeably if I miscount the number of rounds I have fired from my magazine. I can shoot bullet holes at 25 yard, but I cannot shoot bullet holes at 25 yard. The pistols of the best pistol-shooters I’ve seen and shot with do the same. This might be called a “jerk”, but I call it “controlled aggressive execution”, which is consistent.
