I shot “Expert” for 25 years with the Marines, even shooting a perfect Annual Pistol Requalification score in 1978.
But as I later learned when competing in the NRA Nationals, that experience earned me only a Marksman badge in the world of serious competition.
For years, I tried to remember the “37 steps to a perfect shot.”
With experience and a ton of insights from the pros, I came to the conclusion that what matters most is not the laundry list of things to do, but focusing on the two things that matter—a grip that allows a quiet, straight trigger squeeze, and accepting the “wobble.”
In other words, don’t ruin all the work invested in achieving a good sight picture with a poor grip and the wrong trigger finger angle.
