May I suggest keeping the elbows slightly unlocked, so your elbows can absorb some of the recoil. Get a high grip on the gun as you can. Along with a thumbs forward grip...have your support hand {your left hand if you're a right handed shooter} pointed downwards at a 45 degree angle; so as to better control recoil.

Relax your shoulders and breathe {inhale thru nose and exhale with your mouth}. You might have to breathe in spurts, between trigger presses. If you do not like the suprise trigger break...you just might be better off in knowing exactly when the trigger breaks, so you can be pressing the trigger before the final trigger press, and trip the sear when you decide to take the shot. Treat your trigger finger as it's own entity.

According to Robbie Leatham...it takes around 50,000 rounds to teach your subconscious how to pull the trigger. That is...all you're self conscious has to do, is aim the sights while also being aware of your surroundings; and letting your subconscious pull the trigger. If you lack the ammo...dry fire the gun till the trigger press becomes second nature to you.

Press yourself to shoot faster during training, and backoff on the speed alittle during matches. You'll think that you're shooting slower...while the spectators will think that you're shooting very fast.
