I read a post by Deaf Smith some days ago (I now don't recall just where it is) where he mentioned that shooters who have "too much trigger finger" tend to shoot left and adjust their sights to the right in order to compensate for poor trigger control. Well, that is me! I went to look at my Ruger Blackhawks, and sure enough, my rear sights were set almost as far right as I could get them. I still shoot left.
Today, I readjusted them back to center, headed to the range to "sight them in" and found that even zeroed in the center I still like the left side of the target. So, for example, shooting a silhouette target at 30ft, I found that if I aim at the right ear of the target, I can hit plumb center. But if I aim plumb center, I hit somewhere between the left ear and plumb center. The good news is that the groups are pretty uniform. The bad news is that I have poor trigger control and would like to correct that. I want to shoot correctly. The trouble is that I do not know what "too much trigger finger" means and would like someone, perhaps Deaf himself, to give me some idea about what I am doing wrong. I would appreciate the help.
