Recording shooting sessions?

Howland937 · Jun 28, 2020

Aside from YouTube personalities making videos to post on their channels, do any of you record your shooting sessions? I figure it's probably old news for competitive shooters, since analyzing video of personal performance has filtered into just about every competitive sphere. I tried it for the first time earlier today, but not specifically to check my performance. I was more trying to see what direction all my brass was going since it was missing my 10x10 tarp and cardboard barrier. I shoot by myself a lot, so nobody's there to tell me if there's something I'm doing or not doing. I did see right away that I'm leaning in to my shots when shooting handguns standing. Not sure if it means anything but I never knew I did that.

Yup. I shoot comps but havent recorded any because I havent found a method of recording that I like and that isnt expensive.

But at home I have a tripod for my phone that I can activate via remote and it is a great study tool for yourself. I'm fortunate enough to be able to shoot at home.

Unless you get someone else to volunteer to film you at a comp you're stuck with first person analysis, which isnt bad in and of itself, I just think a 3rd person view gives you more insight.

I haven't. I have always thought it would be a good way correct/increase my speed/accuracy though. I've even thought of investing in a Go-Pro. Maybe that would be fun for other uses as well.

A friend of mine started overlapping folks, around 15 years ago or so, from the start and it helped him.

This is an example of how he does it.

As I am hitting a wall in training (Too hot to attend classes), I have been thinking about it.

I did try it. It definitely helped identify some room for improvement, but the footage is kinda shaky. My 9 year old says it's because my cheapie phone camera doesn't have optical image stabilization... I blamed it on the fact I had my phone propped up against some ammo boxes on the table I was using with my rest. So a good recording device NOT sitting on your shooting bench is probably a better process.
