Weak hand shooting

Question
Hi Dave, thank you for taking the time to address my question.
I have been looking for a site, or some insight on drills I can do to improve both supported and unsupported weak hand pistol shooting accuracy. Any help/tips would be appreciated.

Answer
The best thing is to practice, but you also need a way to see any mistakes you may be making. Assuming that you are somewhat proficient with strong hand shooting, you can compare that to your weak hand shooting.
Many people ask another shooter to watch them shoot and note any flinching, creeping as the trigger is squeezed, anticipation, pulling, etc. But I think that a much more effective way is to position a video camera on a tripod and use it to analyze your shooting technique.
It is important that the camera be mounted on a tripod, and not handheld, so that any undesired motion is more easily detectable.
First, video your normal strong hand shooting, using the same techniques that you will use with the weak hand. Then do it again with the weak hand. Note anything found and then try it again, being conscious to try to avoid the problems that were found. (The video can also be useful to improve your strong hand shooting, if you saw any mistakes there.)
Hope this helps!
