The author can call it what he wants, but as others here alluded to, especially with the references to grip, grip strength, and sight alignment,
it’s still just the basics.
Grip, sight alignment, and trigger squeeze.
The shot has to break when the sights are aligned with the intended point of impact.
And MUST BE FOLLOWED THROUGH!
I date back to the time when we were still hip- point shooting at the 1 and three yard line! With double action revolvers.
At the 1yd line, you would reach out with your off hand and place against the forehead of the silhouette and draw and fire with the revolver at the point of your hip. At 3yds you balled your off hand fist and held it over the center of your chest. (Mostly to keep someone from shooting themselves in the off hand....).
It takes a controlled trigger manipulation (however you want to describe it) while holding the firearm trained on the target. However, whatever, it takes to achieve that...
Having trained and taught everything from basic recruits to coaching PPC team mates, most firearms training has more to do with herding cattle, and operating a daycare facility for immature adolescents (20 something yr old recruits) than coaching marksmanship!
Main reason I got away from firearms training, and won’t have anything to do with being a range officer.
And I won’t take on a flight student who isn’t paying for the training him/or herself...
No high school or college students. Their heads are in a totally different places...
They certainly are.
It's even more fun when they are 18 year olds with belt fed MG's.
We had the 4-H kids load one round at a time, no matter what action type they were using. It instills concentration.
