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

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?

Gene,

One of my thoughts, is that many new shooters what a simple sure way, or a short cut that is guaranteed to have 100% results. Techies will say the newest and latest gizmo will do that. From my experience and what I have read it takes really good training from people who know, while there is no guarantees that you will walk aways, the odds are good. Nothing can replace the art of training when it becomes natural as scratching your nose. As you said 8 becomes one. There are no sort cuts, nor some technical advantage that can be substituted for skill. Skill can only come by hard work and competent instruction.
