Looking at this youtube video:
I realized that there are basically four parts of your trigger finger you can use to pull a trigger; first there is the tip which is really only useful for target firearms with very light triggers. Then there is the pad or middle of your distal phalanx ( http://www.medicinenet.com/image-collection/finger_anatomy_picture/picture.htm ), the one at then end of your finger. Next there is the part of that distal phalanx that is right next to the distal joint and then there is the distal joint itself.
I tend to use the pad but at an angle. I am going to try the part right next to the distal joint because it should give me more strength and therefore more control of the trigger. Dry firing, that seems to work well.
What part do you use and why?
