This is the fifth post in the “flat” series. You might find it useful to check out the previous articles before you dig into this one!
Open division guns add one more rather obvious factor into this whole “flat” equation – the ability to redirect gas from the combustion of the gunpowder to help the gun stay flatter during recoil.

This is the fourth article in a series of posts talking about “flat”. If you haven’t read the others, you might want to do that first. Where we left off last time, we learned what properties about the sighting systems on the gun can affect your ability to call shots, and what we can’t do about it – speed up how fast our eyes actually see. If we can’t speed up our eyes, perhaps can we slow down the gun? Or, more properly – slow down the movement of the sights? Ah… now we’re on to something.

In the last article in the series, I told you about how the eye picks up images and sees. We’ve been talking about what “flat” really means in terms of shooting – how we perceive “flat” when we shoot a handgun, what we’re actually seeing, and what shooting a gun that we perceive as “flat” really does for us. So far, we’ve defined flat, and we’ve talked about how the eyes see. If you haven’t read those articles, you might want to start there before getting into the stuff in this one. So, then, one of sthe important questions we’ve been driving at: can we accurately see the sights lift from exactly the point where the gun went off? That is, can we really call shots accurately?

Any discussion of “flat” is incomplete and uninformed without an understanding of how the eyes actually see. I’m not talking about “we see at 30 frames per second” or anything quite as simple as that. I’m talking about understanding how shot calling really works, and how that affects not only what we perceive as “flat” (both from behind the gun, and while observing someone shoot) as well as understanding how best to leverage those effects in our gun setup choices.

It’s been a looooooong time since I’ve had any formal training in first aid. Probably 25 years? Think: Boy Scout First Aid merit badge. Knowing that a lot has changed in the medical community, and in my personal needs, I knew that it was time for some skill updates. When KR Training scheduled Lone Star Medic’s Dynamic First Aid course, I jumped on it!

Here’s a good one from KR Training’s Karl Rehn on tuning up your gun handling… I’ll bet you’ve seen a lot of these – maybe been guilty of a few… Hopefully, not any more!
