MARKSMANSHIP BASICS - Trigger Control

[kdstitt]

Honestly I don't think about any of those things. I take a deep breath, maybe two or three then slowly exhale until I have pressure in my lungs but oxygen left to stress about having oxygen. (while doing that I am acquiring the target) I have in ear plugs and can hear my heart beating, everything Is set, on target now everything is timing because I have to make my heart skip a beat at the same time the trigger goes off... but this also needs to be a surprise with no movement. It's tricky... But it usually works, I have no clue what my thumb is doing.

You don't? It's either over the stock or along side the stock. If you have up straight, that should make your eyes water.

LOL, it's just not something that I have ever thought of, maybe I should read a book on how to shoot better. It's over the stock.
