[QUOTE="BergerBoy, post: 1029793, member: 85712"] I have been shooting over 30 years but this is the MOST misunderstood and under studied topic of shooting IMO. So much so that I do not truly feel comfortable in all areas but I do have some techniques that helped me improve that I believe will help. I always just use the tip because it's the most sensitive and you don't wan't to "hook" the trigger or be heavy on it. I think this is pretty much common sense. Pull straight back very subtle until shot breaks. I never understood why guys wanted such a light pull but I have a 2 pd. now and I am leaning toward 1.5 so it breaks with min. movement/effort. I NEVER wrap my thumb around. Always point forward-parellel to barrel. My three fingers mildly firm grip but a completely relaxed trigger finger Another gentle man said he like to video and I ABSOLUTELY AGREE with that. If you have any type of understanding about shooting YOU are your best critic. Good luck *** The BIGGEST thing I know that helped me is use dummy rounds. I load my 5 round mag with 3 dummy rounds and 2 live rounds in any unknown order. You will be surprised at how even the most seasoned shooters flinch/move before the shot breaks or at all. I can't stress how much this has helped everyone I have shown. Example- My wife is the WORST flincher on the F-n planet!!! After several beatings (just joking) and using this technique even she was able to stop moving/flinching. And most people have no idea they move until they try this drill. If possible I will try to stay on target and never break position until I'm ready to chamber another round. I am still working on this step. YES dry fire!!! But when possible reload some dummy rounds and use the methode I wrote about. [/QUOTE]
