Last weekend I tried to help a few shooter out. It is common with new shooters to break the shot and then lift their head to see the animal fall, or not fall as the case may be.
Regardless of how temping it may be, you must work on having ZERO movement after the shot and strive to be rock steady for 3-5 seconds after the shot. I mean everything! Including the trigger finger! Do not remove the finger from the trigger after the gun goes bang. 99% of all shooters do this as a natural reaction. It is kinda funny when you think about it. The "damage is done", no quick removal of your finger will change what just happened. See THIS post about staying with the trigger.
Another good example is THIS video. To truly know when the trigger breaks watch the firing pin by his right thumb. A small pin on the end of the bolt goes forward and that is when the shot breaks. Note there is ZERO motion with hand, head, body after the pin disappears into the bolt. His trigger finger stays on the trigger. It is a good habit to develop!
This info could be better organized with a website but for now it is buried in 113 posts. Hopefully you can find a few nuggets.
