Understanding Sight Alignment & Sight Picture in the Context of Defensive Shooting (Videos).

Sight Alignment and Sight Picture are not part of the most basic fundamentals of intuitive defensive shooting… but they are an incredibly important part of controlling deviation during very plausible shooting situations that could be faced by someone carrying a gun for personal defense or as part of their profession.

Target Shooters all learn about SA&SP when they first pick up a gun, but in the Combat Focus Shooting program, we start people off with Kinesthetic Alignment as their primary means of controlling deviation for the most probable shooting problems they will face. This process not only works very well to get people quickly capable of defending themselves with a gun, it also mimics what we see people doing naturally in the overwhelming majority of video’d defensive shooting situations regardless of prior training.

CFS is sometimes mistakenly believed to be a completely unsighted or “point shooting” course, which is certainly is not. We teach SA&SP within the first hour of shooting and our students are taught to use their sights whenever they are needed and to experiment in the training environment to discover when that is… so that they can fire Combat Accurate shots as efficiently as possible using recognition and trained responses during a fight.

The clips below cover the most important aspects of understanding and teaching SA&SP in the context of Defensive Shooting. There are many misunderstandings and myths in regard to SA&SP floating around the defensive shooting world and some of the biggest are addressed in these clips.

These two videos were taped during a lecture that I gave in November of 2011 during a CFS Instructor Development in Massachusetts. The video was taped by Down Range Firearms Training staff and the lecture was being given in the classroom at the G.O.A.L. Headquarters… thanks to both of those entities for their support of CFS!
