Quoted: Let me continue to add to what Zack is saying..........When we are talking about "practicing", what we are really doing (and correct me if I'm wrong in your case Zack) is building muscle memory. Muscle memory is what turns this into a shooting technique rather than just a gimmick.
Here is a video that has been posted before but it demonstrates what I'm talking about.........
Bump fire with mag change
This vid was taken by a friend after a friend of his claimed that bumping could only be done sporadically with limited consistancy. He wanted me to dump two mags in quick succession. You can see that I am totally relying on muscle memory. I'm not thinking about bumping the weapon but rather totally concentrating on aiming it. This is what we are talking about when we say you have to practice. Another thing you will notice is that I'm not "pulling the weapon forward" with my foregrip. In order to bump consistantly (as least for me), I have to pull the trigger not the foregrip. In other words, I'm actually not doing anything different than "regular" rapid firing except that I guarantee that I will put more rounds in the black than someone dumping a mag by just squeezing the trigger as fast as they can.

rick I still don't see how you're able to do what you do in the vid, by the way you describe it. Can you give a better "my bumpfiring technique for dummies steps/tips." I will have a chance to practice all day on this coming labor day and I want to make sure I go with the right steps in mind.
thanks.

I'm not sure exactly how his method differs from mine, but I'll give you a tip or two. Check out the videos at LLE
www.lifelibertyetc.com. They will give you the basics of hip bump firing. Basically when you shoot a gun normally, you hold the gun still and make the trigger move. When you bump fire, you hold the trigger still and let the gun move. Take the mechanics of what makes the hip bump firing work, and transfer that to your shoulder. Stiff trigger finger, pull slightly forward on your vertical grip. I might suggest starting with 2 fingers in the trigger guard first for more stability. Let the other fingers of your shooting hand hang loose, don't grip the pistol grip at all, save for your trigger finger. Your aiming and control of the gun is done by your forward hand on your vertical grip.
