We’ve all had the time where a shot flies off somewhere it shouldn’t. The frustration of it bringing your score down. Well, here’s a chart we use at the club to help us determine what may have been the cause.
A) Trigger Pushing
B) Heeling; Slack Grip; Anticipating the Shot
C) Pulling; Snatching the Trigger; Anticipating the shot
D) Snatching; Pushing down on trigger
E) Heeling
F) Pulling down on trigger
G) Pressing rifle; overly tight grip
H) Trigger Pulling
I) Overly tight grip; Forcing sights down
J) Tensing shoulder against rifle
Note that this is for single “flyer” shots, rather than groupings.
