This expert-level guide, presented by Firearms Training By John G. Johnson, details how to diagnose shooting errors by analyzing bullet impact points on a target. High impacts are attributed to improper sight picture (aiming center instead of 6 o'clock hold), while left impacts for right-handed shooters often stem from an underpowered grip with the support hand or 'nose over gun' technique. Corrective actions include adopting a 6 o'clock hold, a 60/40 grip distribution, and focusing on a proper trigger press.
This guide, drawing from an experienced instructor, breaks down the critical components of a proper trigger press. It emphasizes understanding the take-up, the smooth wall just before sear release, and the importance of a calm, smooth press during the 'moment of truth.' The technique is applicable to both single and double-action firearms, with specific considerations for revolvers.
