I am having trouble understanding and executing the technique of calling the shot based on where the front sight is, at the moment of the bullet breaking out of the muzzle.
Everything is happening so fast, I can't seem to concentrate sufficiently for things to do the Hollywood slo-mo and figure what is what.
Can someone give tips on this, or if I am understanding things wrong or what?
I focus on the target, move the sights to align with the target, focus on the front sight, squeeze the trigger (why do people say "press" the trigger?) until I get the surprise break, and at that moment it is already too fast for me to figure out what is what and the shot has broken and the bullet is already downrange (in fact already on the target) and my gun is already off aim and I have to reposition it for the second shot.
Because it is a surprise break, or at least I try to simulate a surprise break by trying not to think about anticipating the exact trigger travel (by concentrating on the front sight), I can't therefore anticipate the moment of thinking about where the sight is (i.e., by avoiding the "NOW!" thinking, I therefore cannot "record" where the sight is to call the shot).
