To Make the Shot

[benos]

I had lunch with a couple friends yesterday, and Milton handed me a card out of his wallet. On it was:

"To make THE SHOT you must acquire and maintain adequate sight alignment."

I thought about it for a bit, and couldn't add anything to it.

Then he mentioned that it didn't say anything about trigger control, which I liked and agreed wasn't necessary because his statement said it all.

Good stuff.

In concept, shooting is very very simple. Its in the transition to execution where trouble can begin.

couldn't add anything to it.

Nor I.

I've never been a fan of the idea of maintaining the sight picture.

I do much better when I refine the sight picture until it breaks. Make no attempt to be static. It's why I say the sights are always moving.

"To make THE SHOT you must acquire and maintain adequate sight alignment."

Adequate sight alignment is a relative thing, so I think we are still on the same page.

You could add the word quickly in the sentence, we are trying to be fast also.

To make the shot you must quickly acquire and maintain adequate sight alignment.

Not needed. Time has no part of what you must do.

Speed will come with the relatively easy targets, and practice.

I'm right with you on the "always moving" idea.

Although I don't think it was intended, perhaps the word "picture" is giving the impression of "static."

"Maintain an adequate sight movie."

Nice! It's not that the trigger pull doesn't matter, but rather it shouldn't have an effect on what is stated.

"Maintain an adequate sight movie."

I dig it.

I beleive in Plaxo's book, " shooting from within" he says something like when all else fails align the sights and press the trigger, and you will hit your target.

I can relate - "When all else fails"
