S-Q-U-E-E-Z-E!

Again, while in the service, the good Sergeant would walk by my target and say, “you’re pulling to the right; don’t pull/jerk but S – Q – U – E – E – Z – E the trigger”.

Take a look at your index finger. The trigger should be placed between the end and first joint of the finger. The key is to S – Q – U – E – E – Z – E the trigger until the weapon discharges. If the shooter knows when the weapon fires, they are pulling/jerking the trigger and will have subsequent lateral barrel movement. This will equate into missing the target point by inches or more at several hundred yards: S – Q – U – E – E – Z – E  it! Same principle applies for muzzleloading rifles.
