Quick Tip: Breathing Techniques For More Accurate Shooting

Показать описание
Today I just want to give you a quick tip on breathing techniques for shooting. I think this is so important because the way shooting is taught for the most part people is for you to hold your breath.

In fact, when I was running the sniper course, that's what I taught. But you know, in that case, there are going to be times, you don't want to hold your breath, but you are going to want to shoot during what's called your natural respiratory pause. So you breathe in, you breathe out, and during that natural pause when you want to break your shot, and that's when you're taking long shots, like you're taking sniper, but if you're not doing that what you need to do, what you want to do is you want to continue to breathe naturally and people will argue this.
I hear it all the time. I see the comments on Youtube and yes I'm talking to you. If you're one of those people that left those comments then this quick tip is for you, but what you want to do is keep breathing and the reason you hear this bad advice is because people breathe the wrong way.

We are naturally supposed to breathe in and out through our noses and our bellies are supposed to rise and fall as we breathe. But if you're to take a deep breath in right now, go ahead and do it with me.

Most of you, when you do that (okay, you can let it out), what you tend to do is you raise up your shoulders and your chest goes out, so when you're shooting, that is going to affect your shooting platform. Whereas if you're just doing belly breathing like you should do, it's much healthier for you. Get much more oxygen and you'll be able to shoot better. Your belly goes in and out, and unless you're laying down on your belly, it's not going to affect you. So for instance, when you're shooting with your pistol, you're breathing in and your shoulders, and these are all accessory muscles there moving up and down, okay? So you don't want to do that. You want to belly breathe and that is going to make you shoot better. It's not only is it the proper way to breathe, but it's going to help you shoot better.

In 2009, I came home from a deployment and my oldest son, who was 3 or 4 at the time, wouldn’t eat for almost 2 weeks... Being a father I was obviously concerned, so I asked him about it and his answer really hit me hard… He said, “Dad, if I eat I’ll grow up and if I grow up I’ll become a daddy. And if I become a daddy, I’ll have to leave my family.” My boys barely knew who I was and I couldn’t let them grow up without a father...
I realized at that moment my family needed me a lot more than the Navy needed another SEAL. So I put in for retirement the next day…
Back then I knew I wanted to be with my family more than anything, so I made changes in my life that allowed me to be at home.
We all want more time to spend with the people we love or doing the things we love. That’s why I’m here to help!

August 1962 USAF M16 qualifying, instructor talked about not holding your breath. He taught us to squeeze off a round during our exhale rhythm. Qualified expert for the next 21 years. Probably because I really enjoy the shooting sport and still shoot to this day! Really enjoy your videos. I do fairly well instinct shooting 95% inside 8 and 9 ring with my 9mm and 45acp at 7 yards. After watching your front sight video that is my current practice method and I really think it’s helping!!!! Thanks….

I learned about this just a few years ago. It has really improved my accuracy.

The other key part of this for me was to relax my body when breaking the shot and during the shot, (follow through).

Being taught diaphragm breathing to play woodwinds in school band was one of the most impactful lessons I've experienced. It was wild to me that I was BREATHING incorrectly. It just seems so second nature. But yes absolutely, belly breathing, or diaphragm breathing, is the healthiest and most effective form.

I was taught to put it down range after a 4 second exhaust by the Dutch military. It's working for me. And yes.... I shoot long range. A long range. :-)

Hi Chris love your book & your videos but just a very quick question what do you think about Center Axis Relock

Chris: does it make any sense if you're trying to develop long range target shooting skills, to start with a .22 cal rifle, then "advance" to a. .556 or .30 cal, or whatever?

Great video. I guess I'm one of the few who habitually belly breathes. I've never understood why people don't do that. To me, it's much more natural.
