ABSTRACT

Warning: For these “tricks” to be successful, the shooter must be practiced in the subject field.

Causing a bullet to impact the target where you intend is akin to throwing a baseball, dart, bean bag, or other similar eye/hand/mind events. These challenges can be overcome when instinct and practice are combined. The technique, the trick, is to not only look at the target but to look at the smallest part of the target while devoting full concentration just before and during release of the shot/throw. This focus on the target is more than a visual knowledge of the target; it is total attention to the target-within-a-target. You don’t have to stare at the target, only see it and

focus on a small portion of it during the almost immeasurably short time while the body/hand is moving to point of fire-going from the draw or chest-ready position to battery.
