Sight lock

Hi all,

Not sure if this is a thing but the concept of "Foresight lock". My question is, is it any different to what I'm doing now in my process?

Middle part of my process: As I'm bringing the sights down and through the target, my aligned sights stop under the target and I'm just focusing on the foresight while the automatic trigger action happens. My focusing on the foresight, is that "sight lock" or is it a different technique?

Thank you all for any suggestions or comments.

Regards

Bret

I "think" what you are asking is- when you get a perfect sight picture is that when to release the shot?

Accept your wobble.

New shooters often look for perfect sight alignment/sight picture, and once they get it, they rush to pull the trigger, rather than completing a slow, methodical release. This is called 'snatching,' the trigger. Which usually results in wild shots: often lower-left on target for right-handed shooters and lower-right for left-handed ones- all outside their wobble.

If you accept the wobble you see (in the sight picture) and pull the trigger back gently, the shot will go off and hit within your wobble.

New shooters may have a large wobble, intermediate shooters may have a 7/8 ring wobble. Advanced shooters an 8/9 ring wobble....etc. The key is, to reduce your wobble.
