This training focuses on a critical accuracy fix: proper trigger engagement. Expert Firearms Instructor John G. Johnson emphasizes aligning your dominant eye with the firearm's sights and engaging the trigger straight back, not pulling it. He identifies shooter anticipation as a common cause of trigger jerking, leading to shots straying off target.

John Lovell, a professional firearms instructor, identifies shooter anticipation as the primary reason beginners miss targets. He explains that the subconscious act of pushing down to 'meet' recoil, rather than allowing a clean shot break, causes muzzle dip. Lovell demonstrates this phenomenon with a student on an outdoor shooting range and suggests drills to help shooters overcome this common error by building mental fortitude and trusting their mechanics.
