Firearm Training, Florida, Shooting With Both Eyes Open

Firearm Training, Florida - Shooting Utilizing Both Eyes - Both Eyes Open Will Aid Peripheral Vision: If you can accurately shoot with both eyes open you should.

1. Reduce Tunnel Vision: Tunnel Vision will not be as bad with both eyes open.

2. Assume There is More Than One Threat: We should assume that there may be more than one adversary, and greater peripheral vision can help locate them.

3. Closing One Eye: If you must close one eye to focus on the sights to hit a distant threat and ensure accuracy, then do so.

The Arc of Movement (Wobble Area)
1) Recognized: The sights will wobble. The gun is going to move around which is seen as the sights moving on the target. Do not try to make the gun fire when the sights are suddenly perfect. You will jerk the trigger and throw the shot off. Work to reduce the Wobble Area as much as possible throughout training

2) Accepted: Just shoot through the small wobble area. The shooter must accept the wobble area, be convinced to focus on the front sight, maintain proper sight alignment, hold as still as he/she can and shoot through the wobble area.

	Visual Skills, Shooter Speed, Accuracy
Peripheral vision: The visual ability of maintaining an awareness of a central target while simultaneously maintaining a vast amount of peripheral visual awareness.	Depth perception: An essential skill for the shooter who needs to judge relative distances between targets.	Eye motility: Eye tracking abilities are crucial to maintain accurate detail and awareness of any moving target.
Point Shooting	Speed of Recognition	More Than One Target
Point shooting, also called threat focused shooting, is a method of shooting a firearm that relies on a shooter's instinctive reactions, kinematics, and the use of biomechanics that can be employed effectively in life-threatening emergencies to quickly engage close targets.	Speed of recognition time: Extremely important when a target may be only visible for a brief moment in time. The ability to accurately recognize as much of a target in as little as 0.01 seconds can be critical in deciding to shoot, or not shoot, a target.	Assume There is More Than One Threat: You should consider that the primary target may be supported by other. There may be more than one adversary, and greater peripheral vision can help locate them.
	Quick Fire For Pistol Training
Quick fire - For Pistol is a method previously used by the US Army for teaching point shooting. It is described in the following excerpt from US Army Field Manual FM 23-9:	Quick-Fire point shooting. This is for engaging an enemy at less than 5 yards. The weapon should be held in a two hand grip. It is brought up close to the body until it reaches chin level and is then thrust forward until both arms are straight.	The arms and body form a triangle, which can be aimed as a unit. In thrusting the weapon forward, the firer can imagine that there is a box between him and the enemy, and he is thrusting the weapon into the box. The trigger is smoothly squeezed to the rear as the elbows straighten out.
