Shooting Issue

[wasfuzz]

One issue I find in several of my students is finger placement on the trigger. Do you "bury" your finger or do you use just the "pad" of your finger? If you use the pad of your finger (where the nerve endings are) you will feel the trigger stack and you will have a straight pull, whereas a buried finger (up the the joint) leaves no feeling and tends to pull to the left if you are a right handed shooter or right if a lefty. Not always the case but often happens. I have seen old-timers who have learned to live with the buried finger method and do quite well. Just my 2 cents!

I think I was doing this. I have been practicing dry firing without putting my finger too deep. This might have been why I was pulling to the side and down.
