"Finding your dot" vs Building a mount

Something I wish I had learned earlier.

DISCLAIMER. I AM NOT A TRAINER. I'M NOT EVEN GOOD AT SHOOTING. I'M STATISTICALLY MID AT BEST. HIGH C-LOW B CLASS SHOOTER.

I see people talking about finding their dot a lot. You shouldn't be finding your dot. You should look at target, point gun at target, and the dot should just... be there.

How do you make it be there? Build a consistent mount for your gun.

How do you make a consistent mount? This drill in the video.

-Start with the dot on the target. Slowly bring the gun down to the ready.

-Bring the gun back up. Focusing on perfectly reversing the path you took down.

-If the dot is there, great, repeat. If the dot is not there, center it on the target, and repeat until it starts being there.

Do this a bajillion times. I'm not kidding. Do it a lot.

Once you are 100% getting the dot on target every single time, then work your way back to the holster. then do it a bajillion more times.

You are training your body to mount the gun in a way that aligns your dot with the target. For some people, it comes quickly. Others have to do it a long time.

I made this video so you can see what it looks like from your pov.

Sorry for the janky cut. Idk how to video things good.
