Muzzle flip is a significant accuracy killer affecting 99% of shooters, caused by improper grip, trigger well gapping, incorrect finger placement, and wrist break. John G. Johnson advises focusing on a firm grip, correct finger positioning, and maintaining wrist stability to control muzzle rise and improve shot consistency.
John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, emphasizes the critical importance of 'follow-through' in shooting accuracy. He explains that many shooters ruin their shots by lifting their head or dropping their arms immediately after firing to see the impact.

Practicing drills like the 'pause drill' can help develop this essential skill.
This video by John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, focuses on the critical role of trigger manipulation in achieving firearm accuracy.
