A tip on trigger control
This weeks shooting sports usa articles from the NRA has a tip on trigger control from the expert Brian Zins.
He says most of us are using the wrong technique for where we put our trigger finger on the trigger. Check out the link for the explanation. Verry interesting: http://www.ssusa.org/articles/2015/1...CENSORED-=1015

FWIW-this story kind of supports what Brian Zins says in the article. I saw an older gent at the range shooting at about 30 feet with a laser mounted on a handgun and the red dot was all over the target.
I expected to see a terrible target but all the shots were grouped nicely in the center. Talked to the guy and he was shooting with his son-in-law and using the sil's gun. He said he wasn't paying any attention to the laser at all. His technique was to squeeze the trigger when on target. What I got out of it was stance, grip and steadiness are, of course, important but this guy was using good trigger control to make up for his deficiencies in these areas...seems like trigger control can trump other factors. |

I don't believe he's saying that most of us are doing it wrong. Or are you only referring to "us" as other Bullseye shooters such as yourself?
