I'm not a target shooter. I consider myself a "hunting" shooter. I'm wondering if you run thru this check list when you are shooting at game? Or do you hope that instinct and training take over?
I know I will never be as good of a shot as most of you guys.I don't want anybody to think that I don't agree with anyones methods.
Like Jeff mentioned, my hunting pre shot routine actually IS a lot like my target routine only done in about 1/10th of the time and ends in a gentle "push" of that index trigger. All that pure backtension, surprise shot crap goes right out the window.

Proper form and everything is so engrained in my shooting that I can just do a "speed" version of setting up a shot. YOu can't stop doing what you do a couple thousand times in a row but you sure can speed it up a bit.
