GrandmasterB, I believe that what he means with "follow your sights and call your shots", is to try to follow your front sight during the recoil, reaquiring it as soon as possible after the shot, and try to predict or "call" where you think the shot went BEFORE taking your eyes off your sight picture and looking at the target. The calling of shots is done regularly in precision rifle shooting as an aid to proper timing of trigger release in conjunction with your sight picture on the target. I haven't seen the video, so I may not be capturing what he meant.
