Thus adversely affecting accuracy? I read somewhere where someone advocated that the instant you get the sight picture you want, " jerk " the trigger. I`ve tried to follow the age old adage of a " squeeze". I had an uncle who used to say, " Study long, study wrong." He was talking about analyzing upcoming greyhound races, but hey, maybe it applies to shooting (?). I do know that I study the 1" target at 100 yards with my 17HMR for what seems like a good while before squeezing off the shot. I`ll shoot an occasional sub-MOA group ( averaging 1.2 MOA ). Funny, when I shoot at a life size squirrel target at 100 I can put 8 or 9 out of 10 in the brain pan. I know I`m shooting quicker and more relaxed, too. As a newbie rifle shooter, would appreciate any input.
