should not be overlooked. Shooting well with a revolver really isn’t a matter of the perfect sight picture, it’s a matter of smooth trigger control. As this little experiment shows, the sights can be a surprisingly long way off and the shots will still hit the target, as long as the gun isn’t being thrown off target by an untrained trigger finger.
Need to shoot more precisely? Simply reduce your wobble zone.
One of the odd things about the human mind is that if you try to hold the gun perfectly still, think about holding it perfectly still, your gun will seem to wobble even more. It’s like seeing a pothole in the road and thinking “don’t hit the pothole, don’t hit the pothole.” What usually happens? You hit the pothole!
(Many years ago, when I first started riding motorcycles on the street, my instructor, a superb rider, pointed out this phenomenon. “Don’t look at where you don’t want to go, look at where you do want to go!” Moving point of aim is the same idea, just without the handlebars.)
It’s this natural tendency that you can use to your shooting advantage. If you tell your mind to “let the sights move all you want, as long as it’s within this particular area,” the brain will happily oblige. This might seem counterintuitive, but it works; you look at where you want the gun to be, not at where you don’t. Philosophically speaking, the brain will accept a limit if it’s thought of as a freedom (a very real concept that is all too familiar to social manipulators. They succeed because the idea works.)
