Proper Trigger Finger Placement for Pro-Level Shooting!..(aka: Yankee's Finger Bang Tutorial)

This guide, presented by firearms instructor John G. Johnson, details the critical steps to achieving a consistent and accurate pistol grip. It emphasizes aligning the firearm's center with the hand's center, achieving a high grip on the backstrap, and ensuring a firm, 360-degree contact with both hands. Proper grip is presented as foundational for recoil management and overall shooting accuracy.

John "Shrek" McPhee emphasizes a vertical shooting stance aligned with the target, with shoulders over the ball of the lead foot and weight on the balls of the feet. He explains that leaning forward is crucial to counteract the backward push of recoil, minimizing body movement and thus gun movement for improved accuracy. This technique, derived from survival manuals, aims to keep the gun stable.

This video by John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, details the common grip errors that lead to inaccuracy, such as the 'thumb crush grip' and 'back gap'.

Proper grip is presented as the foundation for accuracy and confidence.

This video challenges the common practice of using par times for target transition training, arguing that it often leads to rushed, less precise movements. Instead, instructor Joel Park advocates for focusing on the process: drawing the firearm, allowing the sights to settle precisely on the target, and then shifting focus to the next target. The emphasis is on the quality of the sight's arrival and stability, rather than just the elapsed time, promoting better long-term accuracy and habit formation.

He introduces methods to find the optimal grip tension, focusing on preventing the gun from moving without overgripping, which can lead to tendinitis. The advice is practical for shooters experiencing discomfort or seeking to improve their shooting efficiency.
