I and a few others from the board went to the range last weekend. i learned a few things about my shooting and formulated a hypothesis.
what do you consider anticipating recoil?...
i KNOW i dont anticipate recoil (well... there are a few accidents). i was watching a guy next to me shooting and noticed he was shooting all over the place, but mostly low. i watched him for a bit and noticed (he had a dud) right when he pulled the triger he pushed forward hard and the nose of the gun dropped. so i thought to myself "he is anticipating". i resume shooting, taking my time... trying to train my hands and fingers for a good smooth pull. what happens next is odd, i too get a dud. (read this part carfully) i pulled the trigger and AFTER the hammer droped i droped the nose of the gun.
i'm trying to tell myself that it was in anticipation of reaquiring the target, not anticipation of recoil since the hammer had already droped before the nose. does this sound right to anyone? does it make sense that there is a difference between droping the nose of the gun durring trigger pull as opposed to after hammer drop? or am i just lieing to myself?
