Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'surprise shot' in firearms training?

The 'surprise shot' is a military training technique where the shooter is unaware of when the shot will be fired. This is done to help recruits overcome flinching. However, it's not a technique advocated by top bullseye or Olympic-style shooters for precision.

What is the difference between a controlled trigger jerk and flinching?

A controlled trigger jerk is a deliberate, smooth action to initiate the shot, a technique used in competitive shooting for decades. A flinch is an involuntary muscular reaction to the anticipation of recoil or noise, which negatively impacts accuracy.

What is the best way to handle unproductive online comments about shooting?

The instructor suggests not giving unproductive commenters the time of day to deny them engagement and upvotes. Ignoring them or belittling their arguments is advised. A sign of winning is when the opponent writes excessively long responses.

What is the recommended trigger control technique for competitive shooting?

Experts like Jerry Miculek recommend uninterrupted trigger control, which involves a smooth, continuous pull without staging. While there's no upper limit to how fast you can pull the trigger, there is a limit to how slowly you can do it effectively.
