Trigger control is the concept and practice of correctly using the trigger of a gun.
The mechanism may seem as simple as pulling / pushing a lever but the dynamics of a firearm requires a certain nuance to fire with accuracy and efficiency.
Incorrectly pressing the trigger will impair your sight alignment, resulting in off centered shots.
This deceivingly simple action must be carefully manipulated for each fire to be smooth and aligned.
Your finger must pull the trigger evenly straight back or else the muzzle will shift accordingly when the gun is fired, faltering the otherwise perfectly aimed shot.
Perfect aim can only follow through with a perfect trigger press, roll or pull – depending on the shooter.
As simple as it may seem, trigger control takes training and conscious learning to master.
