[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1405925, member: 2736"] The first thing I would do is buy a very good trigger that you could not anticipate and/or set the trigger to about two pounds. The next thing it to work on trigger control and trigger hand position. Not all stocks are trigger/ grip friendly. This happens to all of us at one time or another (If we will admit it) and it is something that takes the right equipment and lots of practice to eliminate. When I was match shooting, I sometimes shot a 22 rifle to practice because it allowed lots of practice and helped with the consistency of my trigger control. (I used a heavy 22 target with the same stock and trigger pull as my match rifle). When shooting bows in competition, I saw people walk up to the 10 yard line and start practicing. The best thing I found was to walk up to the 60 Yard for my first shots. On some bow ranges we had 80 and 100 yard targets that would really test you for target panic. This makes you think about hold, release and follow through because you know if you screw up you are going to miss the whole target. To start Practicing at the long distances with a rifle will do the same thing. The other thing I did was to imagine that I could guide the bullet or arrow By holding the bow or rifle on target until the projectile hits the target or game (This is a way to practice follow through). It is very difficult with a rifle because of recoil, but it helps. Just a few suggestions that might help. You are already half way there because you know that it exist. Many are in denial if they don't think it affects everyone at one time or another. The best way to solve a problem is to first admit it exist. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
