Shooters must understand the necessity for mentally focusing on their trigger press and train the jerk or slapping motion out of their mechanics. Jerking the trigger at the last second is a mental and physical issue, but primarily a mental one. I have learned the hard way that the first step in overcoming our mistakes is to identify what the problem is, so I want to specify seven trigger control errors, briefly give you my observations, and some general tips to fix these miscues. I have also experienced several of these mistakes myself, so I want to share some advice to help other shooters. In my years of training shooters, I have observed major trigger control errors in my students.
