Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary goal of proper trigger control and grip in shooting?

The primary purpose of trigger control and grip is to drive the pistol out to your centerline, allowing you to break the shot straight to the rear without disturbing the sights. This ensures a more stable and accurate shot placement.

How can an unstable shooting configuration affect accuracy?

An unstable shooting configuration, often stemming from an off-center draw or poor grip, can cause the pistol to shift during recoil or require excessive grip pressure. This instability will throw off your aim and prevent consistent accuracy.

What is the key to not disturbing the sights when firing a pistol?

The key is to maintain a stable sight picture and apply consistent, rearward pressure on the trigger. Whether using a red dot or iron sights, the sights should remain superimposed over the target as the shot breaks.
