I am saying this. If your barrel is pointed into the middle of the target when the shot is fired, your bullet will go into the middle of the target.

You know it is pointed there because your eyes see it is pointed there.

You then pull the trigger without pointing it somewhere else.

Or if you are in the zone, your finger moves when your eyes see. Train your eyes to see and your finger to move. It is that simple and unless someone is trying to write a book for profit, they will tell you exactly what I just told you. Be they an Olympic Gold Medal winner, a hunter, or a combat rifleman (who knows what he is doing).

Oh yes, if you believe you must do eight things perfectly, then you must do eight things perfectly at once. I believe you must do one thing perfectly at once. Conditon the finger to move when the eye sees.

Bottom line is this -- what is easier. Doing eight things, four things, or one at one time?
