PRACTICE

Eye exercises are the best way to keep your sight and keep it sharp. Some basic practices include moving your eyes rather than your head/body when changing the focal point. While driving constantly, move your eyes from road to right mirror, to road, to left mirror, to road, to speedometer, to road to inside mirror, to road…. Don’t just “look” at the object—see it—comprehend what you saw. When looking at a mirror, focus on the object and then on the surface of the mirror and back again. Another practice that might be helpful and can be done while watching TV: hold an object in your extended hand and keep shifting your focal point from the TV, to the object, to a near wall to the TV to a far wall.

Tennis players, baseball batters, or other similar sports players all have in common with instinct combat shooters the same goal; this requires the same criteria: they/you must impact a moving object with a moving tool. The tennis player who does not look the ball into the racquet or the racquet is not in the same place in the hand—will miss the shot. Same with the batter and other eye-hand co-ordination games.

Sports play is almost exclusively a learned instinct where the eye/mind/hand/body must work together. One can instinctively throw a baseball, but to place the ball in the strike zone with some regularity, the instincts must be honed (learned) with the established training procedures, knowledge, and practice. Sports such as tennis, basketball, and racquet ball are all one-handed sports inasmuch as they require the independent use of one hand at a time, not unlike handgun shooting. Accomplished players know that to be successful, they must look the ball (eyes on the moving target) into the racquet or glove. No sights are required to pitch a ball, only learned instincts. If the racquet or body movements are manipulated in the same way every time, then the projectile will go to the same target every time. Substitute the word firearm for racquet or body movements and the same principle applies. Once you have learned how to hold the weapon, and where and how to look, all of your shots will be on target. But, just like these sports, it is difficult to teach yourself. Expertise in the form of a coach or a book/video/course is required, especially if your life is dependent upon your abilities.

You can get additional practice with an unloaded weapon while watching TV. As objects or persons appear on the screen, go through the routine from draw to dry fire, trying to nail the target while at the same time remaining aware of other action in the room or on the screen. Do not strain your eyes or look “hard” at the target. This strain is not normal and will distort your vision and possibly affect your physical condition adversely.
