[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 1962763, member: 1951"] The trigger should touch the center of my finger print.(under the cuticle is about the same.) The finger should be bent about 90 degrees at the second knuckle. The pull force should be applied straight to the rear. The thumb should be used as a stabilizer. I put mine on the opposite side on a pistol grip, or on top on a Sporter. One must not forget that the thumb position controls finger tip rotation on the trigger face. Lower is lighter, higher is crisper. Kind of loose, but just enough strength to pull gun back into shoulder pocket. Lighter pull seems more consistent off the bench. A bit more in the field. To me, follow through starts at the point you begin applying pressure and goes through pulling to stop. Then holding and letting up only when you start the next action. Not really, I think this is really related to rotation of the finger to the trigger face. I do focus on that. All this trigger focus is the result of many trigger pulls and learning how to work through each step of the shot. Dry fire is critical to developing the fine touch required for accurate fire.
