I don't understand why no one has replied to your Zen experience. I think when I look at my sights and then look through the front sight and shoot and it feels like I breath (I know you are not supposed to) but it is like a breath through the sights or the barrel and hit the target. I think it is looking through the target. One time when I was a kid I shot a bird off the mirror of my GTO with my buddies watching. The bird was looking in the mirror and pooping on my car. I think that was zen. It blew my buddies away, they thought I was crazy and a hero at the same time.
