First learn how to properly control the gun before you try to aim.
Pull the trigger without moving the gun.

Excellent video on the fundamentals. Glad I am a brand newbie so I can learn from the get-go instead of having to unlearn bad habits. Instructors need to emphasize trigger-control a lot more.

Most donāt even know about fire control. Itās not being taught widely enough, by my reckoningā¦
After mastering safety, put fire control in place first and foremost.

I taught myself the first bunch of years. When I signed up for a class and had a decent instructor, I realized how many bad habits I had to āunlearnā in terms of trigger control. We create muscle memory that needs to be retrained. I highly recommend finding a good instructor early on because of that.
This video reminded me about the time I even bought a laser pretty early on (not a red dot, but laser). I would see the laser moving around the bullseye in what would be a pretty small group size. But instead of realizing it was a good group size, Iād try to quickly yank that trigger any time the laser crossed the bullseye and the shots went low. If the shots go low, I guess the laser is off and just needs to be adjusted, right? 
So many bad habits were formed. Itās so much better to start off when a good instructor who emphasizes the proper fundamentals right up front. Start forming the good muscle memories right from the start.

I always wondered how robots get a perfect bullseye every time. Fire control is the key. The robotās grip is unwavering in any way, anywhere. Itās a machine, so when it grips the gun it does not move, period, and so it can hit precisely where itās programmed to do so.
So when I grip that pistol, Iām thinkinā robot! Machine! Steely grip!. Because it works.

Someone can tell me aiming is useless and Iāll tell that individual that after firing thousands of rounds it becomes instinct. Iām going to do it regardless, I shudder to think about firing wildly at someoneā¦ collateral damage is bound to occur.

The video should be more appropriately named perhaps: When aiming is useless.
Aiming is useless before fire control is in place.

Trever 1 shutter when you are aiming. How does that work for ya. Seriously 
haw haw hereās ya a root beer . I was thinking about your picture with your rifle. That makes me shutter. I donāt believe there is a picture of me holding a rifle . Any where. 
Yes SIR. HERES YA A ROOT BEER 
A buddy of mine told me about how he does his dry fire drills.
Edit; this is a dry fire drill!!! Make sure your gun is unloaded and clear of ammunition before attempting any dry fire drills!!!
Balance a quarter on the front sight, line up the sights with an imaginary target, squeeze the trigger and dry fire the gun.
The coin should not move.
Obviously this is harder with a narrower front sight blade.

A MRDS is the new trick, it will show you everything you are doing wrong.
Of course a little more expensive than a brass casing.
