Why Index Is Important
About this video
McPhee demonstrates the importance of proper gun indexing—aligning the firearm with your arm and shoulder to ensure accurate shot placement. He explains how to verify correct index during the draw and discusses how improper indexing causes shots to drift left or right, and how index relates to selecting a properly-fitting firearm for your hand size.
Key takeaways
- McPhee teaches that proper indexing requires the gun to be aligned in a straight line through your arm and shoulder, which should be verifiable by drawing a line through the firearm
- McPhee argues that off-center index causes rounds to strike left or right of target, depending on which direction the gun’s front sight points relative to this alignment
- McPhee recommends checking index fit when selecting a firearm—if your hand is too small to reach the trigger despite having correct index, the gun is too large for your hand
