Description: Hi, I'm retired Navy SEAL Chris Sajnog, author of Navy SEAL Shooting and one of the top 20 most frequently asked questions I get is: Why do I shoot bad when I speed up? Now Start Your timer is I share with you five reasons you're shooting goes downhill as soon as you speed up in today's five in under five FAQ. Alright, so this is a question I get all the time. That's why it made it to my top 20 list, and it's very common for people to do great shooting, slow fire. But as soon as they try adding speed their group opens up or they just completely miss the target. So I'm going to give you five reasons why that's possibly happening. Number one on the list is: You haven't built up the mechanical foundation to shoot faster. And what I mean by mechanical foundation is you need to actually build your shooting platform, your structure, how your legs are, how your arms are, everything, how, how strong your grip is. All of these things come into play because as the guns start shaking and moving and vibrating faster from those rounds coming out faster, you don't have the foundation. You're literally shaking the foundation of your shooting platform, so you need to strengthen that if you want to shoot faster. Number two is: You don't believe you can shoot faster. A lot of people when they shoot, they go out there and they're either thinking about how they shot last time like you didn't shoot fast last time or last time you tried shooting fast, your group opened up. You don't want to sit and focus on those things. You need to be present where you are right now, so you need to actually believe that you can shoot faster if you actually want to do it. Number three on the list, and this is probably one of the biggest ones that I notice, especially when shooting a carbine, is: Your natural point of aim is off. Now I've got other videos out there where I will show you how to use your natural point of aim, but in general what happens is in slow fire, you are going to recoil back up to wherever your natural point of aim is. So if naturally your hips are off, say to the right and you're using muscle to aim at your target, when you shoot that gun, you're going to go back to your natural point of aim and each time you shoot, you're going to have to force it and you're going to end up shooting low into the left. If you're a right-hand shooter like I am, and if you're a left-handed shooter is going to be low and to the right, so make sure that your natural point of aim is right on target and that's going to help speed you up. Number four on the list is: You're changing your mechanics when you speed up - and you don't want to do that. Everything you do when you shoot slow fire is you're building up to be able to shoot faster, so don't change anything. If you need to change something to shoot faster then you need to practice that way, and that goes back to building those mechanics and doing it properly each and every time. And finally, number five is: Never force speed. I like to say "speed happens" and speed happens by you doing the mechanics of shooting perfectly, and as you do that through repetition, building those neuropathways speed is just going to be a byproduct of your perfect practice. So just keep practicing and you'll naturally get faster. Alright, that is it for today's FAQ. Practice these five ways to naturally allow you're shooting to speed up while still keeping your rounds on target.
