Practice Trigger Control - And Continue Your Training

	The Proper Finger Contact
Finger Contact Tip And First Joint: Contact with the trigger should be somewhere between the tip and the first joint. There is NO additional leverage gained by moving the trigger finger beyond the first joint. Correct finger placement on the trigger facilitates moving the trigger without moving the sight	No Frame Contact: The trigger finger must not be in contact with the frame when pulling the trigger. Any contact between the frame and the trigger finger will PUSH the gun and the sights to the left when shooting right-handed and to the right when shooting left-handed.	Maintain Trigger Contact Between Shots: Once the trigger finger has been placed on the trigger to fire, it should never lose contact with the trigger until the required number of shots have been fired, this includes setting up for one more possible shot at the end.
	Concepts of Trigger Control
Trigger Pull Must be Straight to the Rear: The trigger finger must pull the trigger straight to the rear so as not to move the sights/gun sideways.	Too Much Trigger Finger: This tends to push the sights toward the support-hand.	Too Little Trigger Finger: This tends to pull the sights towards the strong-hand and also makes it more difficult to pull the trigger.
