I just stop breathing at the moment of just before the shot. I concentrate more on the trigger if anything. I am a very relaxed shooter, and that benefits me.

I know what they train you to do in the army, and its a good technique, but I cheat.... from the years of shooting I developed the habit of knowing which way the sights or reticle falls as I breath out. I believe its called chasing. I start the trigger squeeze at a certain point, and pause my breath at another point. It's usually rock solid on my desired location at that point and the trigger pull is complete. No fighting the weapon and its all natural.

This allows me to abort the shot and fall back on the 'army' method if I have a case of buck fever, or whatever.

It is hard to explain, especially on a phone. In most cases its like I bring the sighting device in a tight clockwise circle up and around the point of aim then it naturally falls to the point of aim. It's very quick and accurate. It is more a control of the rifle.
