When I taught my son to shoot. I used a single shot .22 and loaded it for him. Sometimes a round was in it, sometimes not. It kept him from flinching and pulling the trigger. He learned nice control that way. Have somebody load your ML for you. It may go click, it may go pop, or it may go boom. That may help. Also, squeeze at the end of your exhale. Dont hold your breath, just exhale and during that natural pause, squeeze the trigger. If its not on the mark during your pause, wait till the next natural exhale. Trigger time is the best teacher.
