Trigger Centric Vs Sight Centric<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Become a sight-centric shooter to hit what you’re aiming at<\/h1>\n
\n

There are two kinds of shooters: sight-centric and trigger-centric. How can we tell them apart? Trigger centric shooters miss. A LOT. It\u2019s an error in thinking that we see frequently in newer shooters- and it’s an easy error to make (particularly since the vast majority of instructors are trigger-centric in their teaching and coaching). Why does it make us miss?<\/p>\n

Trigger-centric shooters believe (whether they realize it or not) that the final control of the gun occurs via the operation of the ignition system. Sight-centric shooters, on the other hand, understand that the trigger is an error inducing control\u00a0to be managed<\/em>\u00a0by proper alignment of the sights in an appropriate sight picture. Sight-centric shooters communicate with the \u201cfeedback loop\u201d through the shot. Trigger-centric shooters often abandon the front sight as they snatch the trigger into inaccurate oblivion. We typically call this a \u201cflinch\u201d. The good news is that it can be defeated.<\/p>\n

How do we defeat it?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Be present through the shot.<\/li>\n
  2. Keep the trigger moving.<\/li>\n
  3. Saturate the prefrontal cortex with sight information, NOT trigger information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Pretty easy, right? Come train with us, and it will be!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
