I would sincerely appreciate the experienced shooters on this site giving me a few minutes so we can discuss some basics. Very simple. Please answer the following questions, doing so will provide info for new shooters and perhaps also for the experienced guys. Plus this will give me something to think about for the book I am working on.
#1 Describe what portion of the trigger finger touches the trigger. (My personal description is 'the trigger should be placed directly under the cuticle of the trigger finger'). Agree?
#2 Describe the position and tension applied by the thumb.
#3 Describe the position and tension applied by the bottom three fingers.
#4 Describe the importance of follow-through and how long you consciously remain on the trigger after the shot.
#5 Do you try to cup your palm if your stock does not have a palm swell? Some instructors teach that you should have "air in your palm", no direct contract with the pistol grip. Comments.
#6 Do you practice trigger control by dry-firing?
