Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common cause of a firearm shot going left if the sights are aligned correctly?

If your sights are properly aligned and your shot is still going left, the most common culprit is improper trigger finger manipulation. This involves how you apply pressure to the trigger, rather than necessarily the amount of finger on the trigger itself.

How should I apply pressure to the trigger for better accuracy?

For improved accuracy, focus on applying consistent, steady pressure directly to the rear of the trigger. Visualize this pressure moving towards the tip of your nose. The goal is a smooth, uninterrupted pull that allows the shot to break naturally.

Should I anticipate the trigger break when shooting?

No, you should not anticipate the trigger break. The only thought going through your mind as you pull the trigger should be adding pressure. Allow the firearm to discharge when the desired pressure is achieved, without tensing up.

What is the benefit of practicing with a smaller target and slow rate of fire?

Practicing with a smaller target and a slow rate of fire forces you to be more accurate and deliberate with each shot. This allows you to focus on the fine details of trigger control, sight alignment, and breath control, which are crucial for improving overall marksmanship.
