All right guys. So today I just want to give you a quick tip on breathing and shooting. And why I think this is so important is because the way shooting is taught, for the most part, people teach you to hold your breath. In fact, when I was running the sniper course, that's what I taught. But you know, in that case, there are going to be times, you don't want to hold your breath, but you are going to want to shoot during what's called your natural respiratory pause. So you breathe in, you breathe out, and during that natural pause when you want to break your shot, and that's when you're taking long shots, like you're taking sniper, but if you're not doing that what you need to do, what you want to do is you want to continue to breathe naturally and people will argue this.
I hear it all the time. I see the comments on Youtube and yes I'm talking to you. If you're one of those people that left those comments then this quick tip is for you, but what you want to do is keep breathing and the reason you hear this bad advice is because people breathe the wrong way.
We are naturally supposed to breathe in and out through our noses and our bellies are supposed to rise and fall as we breathe. But if you're to take a deep breath in right now, go ahead and do it with me.
Most of you, when you do that (okay, you can let it out), what you tend to do is you raise up your shoulders and your chest goes out, so when you're shooting, that is going to affect your shooting platform. Whereas if you're just doing belly breathing like you should do, it's much healthier for you. Get much more oxygen and you'll be able to shoot better. Your belly goes in and out, and unless you're laying down on your belly, it's not going to affect you. So for instance, when you're shooting with your pistol, you're breathing in and your shoulders, and these are all accessory muscles there moving up and down, okay? So you don't want to do that. You want to belly breathe and that is going to make you shoot better. It's not only is it the proper way to breathe, but it's going to help you shoot better.
