Dots, size of dots, what am I blabbering about they ask?

Quick post, questions beginning to flow in.  Holding drill.  I mentioned I use a "Avery 7/8" dot" and then something about a "bingo marker".  Ok, ok.  First, the best true silhouette targets are HERE.  Thanks Sam!  But, if you don't have access to a nice laser printer or just don't care to print targets, use dots.  Why?  Well, for me it is based on what I learned about a holding drill.  I had the pleasure of getting some coaching from Troy Lawton, a Silhouette National Champion.  He told me to take the bolt out of the gun and work on squeezing the trigger and releasing the trigger and repeat while keeping the sight picture on a "dot".  Or circle.  See his article HERE and learn about another tip on how to improve your hold.  The concept is you train your muscles to stay on target as you cycle the trigger back and forth as well as tighten up your hold.  A poor man's SCATT! 

As Lanny Bassham says.  "Luck is where preparation and practice come together".  Every shooter should read his book, With Winning In Mind.
