Want to Shoot Better? Five Drills for Trigger Finger Isolation
One of the most common problems in shooting is low-left groups for right handers. It’s normally caused by a combination of anticipating recoil and “milking” or “sympathetic squeeze.” Basically, it’s not always easy to press the trigger without squeezing the rest of the fingers, the thumb, and flexing the wrist at the same time.

Guns Don’t Kill People, Toddlers With Your Guns Kill People
