Video taping your shooting?

[Terry]

Anyone video taping your shooting to tune up?

Considering taping how the gun reacts while shooting a string, and to work on my technique.

My buddy when he was learning videoed himself and also me shooting to see if he could pick up anything he was doing wrong. He said he learned from it. He is now fast and smooth. Some of my other buddies set one up on the target also when testing. They want to know which shot did what. Matt

Some people on the F-TR national team have worked with it.

I've done it a couple of times with a small digital camera and a table-top tripod. Shows whether I'm doing everything right or not, and it's easy to see your mistakes on the trigger, or touching the stock for free recoil. Next time, I'm going to set up so that I can also see the flags to check whether I'm actually shooting the same condition or not.

Your looking for your head moving Terry. Get everything in place where you don't look for it. Try some dry fire practice at home with bullets seated on empty cases. The view from behind tells the story.

I just recently had my g/f record me at a 600 yrd match at Manatee Gun Club and I was definitely able to learn from it. Fortunately it confirmed I was doing things right, more than it exposed errors, but I did find a few things I intend to work on. I used to learn a great deal from taping myself when I used to study classical guitar. I would use to video to critique hand/body position, body/guitar dynamics, ect. Actually I didn't the same with racing motorcycles as well. We would do the same, examine body/foot positioning when leaning off of the bike. Head direction, motorcycle lean angle, and weight distribution based on fork compression. Just about anything that involves a great deal of precision and body positioning you can learn from watching yourself perform.

Thanks

I have a GoPro coming for Christmas.
I hope to learn from using it.

I've done it, but without all of the hoopla. Propped up my cellphone against an ammo box and turned on video mode, selfie style and hit record. At the time was trying to see if I could reduce bipod hop by changing hold, bipod position on rifle, etc and seeing what effect each change made. Was helpful. Cost $0.

High speed video is a tool. If you can do that with a phone cudos to you.
I think seeing what happens in slow motion will be useful.

A golf app like V1 Golf for your iPhone or android works great and it's cheap. You can play the video back in extremely slow motion. It has a lot of drawing tools so you can draw temporary lines on the video while watching and can see how much your head is moving, or whatever you're working on.
