Following the process of aligning your sights and pressing the trigger without disturbing that alignment will ensure that hit. At the very core of the shooting process is the ever-elusive perfect trigger press. > Our drill this month trains you to deliver an optimal trigger press applicable to three distances that can be used to measure your depth of shooting. One of these scenarios is a longer-distance target set at 50 yards. Another is medium range set at 25 yards and the last is a close-range set at 5 yards.
