The Shooting Distance Paradox: Why Does This Phenomena Happen With All Shooters?

An interesting analysis. And something that I've noticed myself over the years. Now I don't shoot for speed, but for accuracy. It's my belief that as the distance increases it causes one to concentrate upon the target as a whole, rather than the exact center. At 8m~10m, my concentration is on the very center. However, at 25m and beyond, the target decreases in visual size. This causes one to concentrate upon the whole targert, completely ignoring the now invisible center. Further, as the distance increases, I'm more relaxed and able to make consistent hits. This applies to rifle, pistol, and bow. I use open sights on firearms, and shoot "instinctive" with a bow. Been doing this for 60+ years. And over half of this time I was in a profession where center mass was paramount. Yet I can't hit a thing using a scope or dot sights worth a hoot.

Agree 100% I never worried about squibs. Trusted the PMC or Win factory ammo and my reloading. Any powder anomaly you can feel instantly. If you are shooting at a pace that prevents you from stopping after a strange recoil event, you are shooting beyond your safe limits, imho.

You're shooting skills is still impressive no matter what

Simply Brilliant as usual. Thanks for your knowledge and understanding of which you freely share.

Great video!! The curve definitely comes into play and not just in shooting, everything has its limitations.. gotta rest, evaluate & reset!

Good experiment!

First video on this channel I've seen. Thank you very much for bringing up this valid point. - Godspeed

Great videos, I enjoy watching your productions, and the passion you show about firearms. Ive been enjoying firearms since i was 10, im now 61 yrs old, and have mostly an eclectic collection, Many older winchester rifles, some dating back as far as 1881, some reproductions, simply for cost sake, and shooting lever action silhouette. A fair amount of bolt rifles, a few shotguns, and several revolvers, mostly S@W's, one Colt god cup, and a few SAA clones. My passion is shooting competition, mostly long range silhouette, my favorite is the cowboy silhouette. Thanks for the fun videos!

Man ! A heck of a shot !

Those are some great runs my friend. I used to shoot IDPA before things got so insanely expensive. I know exactly how difficult, and how much dedication it takes to get to your level. Thanks.

Love the channel boss!!

Another awesome video!

Great video! I am inspired to find some property to get my own range 😁

I also enjoy your vids, thanks

100% agree on reloading. I have reloaded prodigiously for decades and train regularly. I have multiple QA checks in my reloading process and have yet to have a squib round. I can't even come close to saying that about factory ammunition.

Congrats

If you haven't already, can you do a short vid on modern options for a SA Army holster? I see the traditional, old fashioned ones, but what about more modern practical options?

weird to see this man with anything but a revolver ❤❤❤

Tuco I love your videos and your basically Arthur Morgan

Could you dive into a video on barrel length if you haven't already? Maybe history on available length in the 1800s, difference in draw speed with various length, authentic vs Hollywood's. Looking at my first EMF purchase and its difficult to choose a length
