Jimlakeside Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 While shooting groups last night I observed that once I fired and the sights lifted my finger wanted to pull the trigger again before I could align the sights on the target with my eyes. It's like my finger has a mind of it's own urging me to pull the trigger before my eyes could align the sights back on the target. When I shoot before I have the sights aligned it always results in a poor shot. It's like a little war going on in my head. Any suggestions on how to discipline my finger?

DarthMuffin Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 In your next practice session, try just one shot per target rather than thinking "double tap". Eventually you want to do two single shots per target, as opposed to one double. A subtle distinction, but I hope that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtBob Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 that's funny, your finger just loves to shoot! Itchy trigger finger indeed! Practice practice practice. Make yourself pause between shots. Maybe consider concentrating on how slow you can squeeze the trigger, let the speed happen naturally after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Surfer Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Your finger does have a mind of its own! It misses the feel of the contact with the trigger. My fix is my finger never leaves the trigger(except when moving/reloading ). I just release the trigger just enough to reset the sear so my triggers mind does'nt miss being one with the trigger. My other mind watches the sights and all the minds become happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 A friend of mine said something like, "Don't squeeze the trigger until you have the sight picture you WANT." For me it simply meant slowing down ever so slightly--long enough to obtain that "wanted" sight picture--and it improved the target score immensely... to say the least.
