[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1464211, member: 2736"] That is a very good example of a poor position but it happens unless you can find what works for you. I was taught to try and find a position that was within the 9 ring (Not always possible) and then work on trigger control. I had what some called an 8 ring wobble most of the time and it was shaped like a bow-tie/figure eight and vertical was normally not an issue because vertical was normally in the 10 ring, so I was taught that as the site picture was moving into the center, start squeezing the trigger, once the sites started moving out of center stop squeezing the trigger until it was on its way back. (Trigger control). If the position was poor the 8 ring wobble became worse and scores dropped. No one can hold dead center consistently so you have to adjust your position for the tightest "Wobble". If you work on trigger control you will be surprised how well you can hit the 10 ring with an 8 ring wobble. The thing you have to watch for and avoid is target panic. (Jerking the trigger when the hold looks good). this will not work because when you have a perfect site picture. the reaction is slow and you will miss center most of the time, and target panic can cause you to jerk/flinch and we all know what the results will be if that occurs . On a good day, i often surprised my self once the scores came in because i didn't think i had that good of a position. With lots of practice you will be able to tell where the round broke and this will tell you if you are doing good or bad. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
