S.F. 1357,

You've gotten some good advice from a couple of great shots in the previous posts(I've seen their targets!!). One technique I didn't see listed is the co-ordination and timing of sight picture and trigger pull.

You want to start your trigger pull before you get the sights aligned. As soon as your sights are anywhere close to the bullseye, start your long double action trigger pull. Don't stop it (staging), just pull on through with a steadily increasing speed. The double action pull is long enough to give you time to make those final micro adjustments to your sight before the shot breaks.

Obviously this technique requires you to be very familiar and consistent in your trigger pull.

If you line your sights up first, and then start your tigger pull, it's almost certain your sight picture will change before the shot breaks. Plus you'll be slow as heck...

Think of it this way: A batter has to start his swing shortly after the ball leaves the pitchers hand, and long before the ball gets to the area it can be hit. He is making those last second adjustments to his swing after the swing has begun. If he waited till the tajectory of the ball was certain, before he starts his swing , it would be too late.

Same idea. Good Luck...

Joe
