" Through his website, and forum/blog, he has presented the entire technique of Pistol-Shooting in an extremely simplified, systematic, scientific manner, with detailed description and information of each fragmented component which when ‘defragmented’ or ‘assembled’ gives a lucid & an almost magical picture of the correct technique of shooting the ‘Perfect Shot’.”

Hello Friends,

Do you know when the sights come into the aiming area, the way it is shown in this video, your front sight starts shaking?

Do you know why this front sight is shaking or do you want to know how to stop this front sight from shaking?

The front sight shakes because the pressure of your trigger finger on the trigger shoe is vibrating and that is why the front sight shakes.

To stop the front sight from shaking or to keep it absolutely steady, you must maintain a steady trigger finger pressure on the trigger shoe as shown in the video.
