When it comes to serious competitive and target shooting though, it's a whole other ball of wax.
Yes and no—and you may evolve into an Adobe Garamond sort of guy when you're older, Justin.
I like my shots to come as surprises when I'm shooting my air pistol or bullseye slow fire; timed and rapid fire shots, however, are another matter altogether. It's recently occurred to me I have two distinct trigger pulls: same hand, same firearm, same trigger, but two approaches to the pull itself.
When I'm shooting slow fire, my entire focus is on steadying the point of aim so the red dot simultaneously stops wobbling and remains on the exact center of the bullseye. I tend to let the trigger take care of itself.
When I'm shooting timed and rapid fire, I'm forced to undertake other activities in addition to steadying the point of aim: keep count of my shots, judge the amount of time remaining, and remind myself when shooting timed fire that there's more than plenty of time to aim all five shots if I stay mentally focused. My rapid fire timing still needs work, but there, too, a significant portion of the challenge is to remember
not to rush my shots. My trigger pull in both timed and rapid shooting is much more positive and conscious—and is becoming at least somewhat more consistent, as well.
I've got a timed fire target on the wall in my hall with a score of 293, 10 X out of a possible 300, 30 X. That's 95% mental focus, 5% trigger control.
