Worst Shooting Video Diagnostics: Episode 1

About this video

McPhee provides detailed feedback on a shooter’s draw stroke, identifying multiple technical issues including late support hand positioning, excessive body movement, improper grip alignment, and gun presentation that deviates from the optimal eye-level draw path. He demonstrates how these compounding errors would result in shots missing their intended target.

Key takeaways

  • McPhee emphasizes the support hand must be high on the chest and ready early in the draw; late positioning degrades the entire presentation
  • McPhee argues any body movement during the draw prevents effective shooting and should be eliminated
  • McPhee teaches the proper draw path requires the gun to come up to eye level and then straight toward the target, with grip and sights established before presentation
