Seems "The only way to go" LOL

I tried the "Snake Eye" method at the shooting range using a borrowed CZ 52/57 semi-auto rifle in 7.62x39. The technique is a form of parallax barrel sighting with eyes focused on the target, employing pre visualization of target successfully engaged before actually pulling the trigger. You, the rifle, and the target all come together...all in one. You can literally spit fire, destruction, and all kinds of shyte.....a kind of Spitfire Turd......

That was a good watch; I really enjoy Mythbusters. I competed for about 10 years in Practical Pistol Shooting (IPSC); sometimes a shooting stage required you to shoot strong hand only (which I found a bit difficult) or weak hand only (REALLY difficult).

Moving into Cowboy Action Shooting (SASS) I was able to strengthen my one hand shooting with the single action pistols, but still not as effectively as the two-handed Weaver stance.

My buds and I all tried shooting from the hip.....and sucked! Same goes for the "gangsta" style. LOL

I was impressed with the guys' shooting skill on the video. As was mentioned at the outset, they've had training and they've certainly practiced. Good video.

Good points here(no pun) har har But in the mid 90s I managed to make the cut and I ended up on a twelve man SF team in the US Army and we spent alot of time at the range(s) and it was pounded in to always shoot with both eyes open for tactical reasons which makes sense. It worked okay for me with pistols but with rifles I couldn't help but to close one eye slightly once in a while when I aimed. Must go back those old bb gun days.

Ah, maybe you knew something the instructors completely missed:

EDIT: I just attached this clip for humour only -- the irony of little Ralphie actually doing what his Mom had warned him about with the bb gun. No reflection intended whatsoever on the excellent training you had received in service of your country!
