How To Stop Shooting Low And Left For Righties OR Low and Right for Lefties
1,093,568

Myles, the Founder of Tactical Hyve, shares an exercise that can help you get your shots on target.
The exercise allows you to focus on the principles of moving only your trigger finger and squeezing it straight to the rear.
Most people shoot low and to the left (for righties) or low and to the right (for lefties) because they are moving their bottom three fingers when they grip, i.e. the 'three amigos.'

I feel like I can't hold it correctly. (yes, it's completely empty when I tried it in my apartment) I can't wait to try this at the range. Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely be working on it. 😎👍
-
I had a friend who was always a little high and to the left, but he was from California .....
-
In my experience as a former instructor this was generally the major problem with many shooters. This is an excellent exercise in learning to overcome it. You did a great job in explaining and presenting this training technique thank you.
-
If someone had taught me this most basic step 50 years ago... Well, let's just say I would have been miles ahead. Thanks!
-
Beginners, intermediate, even pro's. This is a great way to practice without a range and ammo. I have struggled with low left shots my entire career and this method helped improve my pistol marksmanship.
-
Just about every range session I start with a “one hole drill” - 5 shots in a one inch square starting at five yards. It’s not always pretty. Sympathetic movement is a given, natural occurrence and it takes patience and practice to overcome it and it doesn’t matter if you’ve been shooting for five minutes or fifty years. It can be very humbling at times and at 8 or 10 yards sometimes downright embarrassing. You’ve given me a different approach to the drill and I’ll work on that tomorrow. Thanks.
-
Yes I have a problem with this. Always had some dexterity issues with my fingers. This is a great drill. Another thing that helped me was one dude said to not grip so tightly with my right hand and grip more with the left, that also helps stop this problem.
-
Very good technique brother. Such a clean and professional instruction and demo. Just enough detail without sounding like a lecture. ❤️
-
Wow! I was wondering why my pistol tends to shoot low and left and I was adjusting to that by aiming higher and to the right! And I stumbled upon this video! Thanks for the explanation and tips.
-
You’re a life saver or at least a gun saver. Got a new CZ and had this problem. Went through your drill and exercises and saw vast improvement at the range. Thank you!

Served for 26 yrs as LEO & Sergeant & this video is probably the best Tutorial practice , I've ever seen ! I've always been exceptional with about any rifles or long gun ,,, But just average with a hand gun ! I'd always score 100 on the range or maybe throw 1 ,,, but never grouped, like I should have been or rather could have been !
-
I hadn't shot a handgun in years. Maybe 20 rounds in 10 years. Got a nice backstop and began shooting again. Besides weak forearms (I'm gettin' up there in years) I noticed I developed the low left problem. Didn't matter what handgun .22, 9 or 45. I'm going to try this and see if I can get rid of the problem. I used to be good now I'm eh. Thanks for the tips.
-
Great analysis of low/left shooting! Thanks for this exercise! Can't wait to try this out.
-
I've known about the phenomenon, but hadn't seen a way to train for it until now. Thank you very much for this.
-
Thanks for the educational support. I feel like this video was made for me. Lesson learned and shared with others with similar challenges.
-
This is the EXACT problem I’ve been having!! Thanks so much. Can’t wait to try this drill soon
-
This video is spot on to all of my issues shooting pistols, for some reason I don't have that issue shooting shotguns or rifles. Thanks for the advice and for the explanation
-
Excellent job explaining this. I have been shooting for 3 months and have this low and to the left problem. I will definitely practice this trigger pull drill more often to become a better shooter. Thank you for the advice.
-
Great video. I always knew the physiology of why it was happening, but couldn’t find any reliable exercises to help correct it. Wonderful demonstration and explanation. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the info.
-
Big thanks. Appreciate breaking down that sympathetic 3 amigos tendency and then isolating the trigger finger. This is really going to help my clients. I cannot help but mention your explanations are simple and to the point. Peace Be The Journey!
