Watching shooters’ feet instead of their hands

Most people watch the hands when someone shoots fast. I used to do the same thing, then I noticed the best shooters always had really smooth footwork. They moved simple, stayed balanced and never wasted motion, that’s when I realized good shooting starts from the ground up.

Rob Leatham’s footwork videos really showcase his skills.

Footwork is often the tell, if the base is efficient, everything above it tends to stay more consistent under speed and recoil.

That’s a great observation. Footwork really sets the foundation for balance and efficiency. Watching someone’s feet often reveals more about their control and rhythm than their hands especially in dynamic or fast-paced shooting.

Footwork is one of those things nobody teaches explicitly but the shooters who move well almost never struggle with the fundamentals the way stationary shooters do. Ground up is exactly right.
