During the trigger pull, what should you maintain to help accuracy?

• A. Move the sights to adjust during pull.
• B. Maintain sight picture during the trigger pull.
• C. Ignore the sights while pulling.
• D. Engage rapid fire while looking away.

Answer: (B)

Maintaining sight picture during the trigger pull. Keeping the front sight aligned with the rear sight and the target as you press the trigger helps ensure the shot goes to where you’re aiming. A smooth, steady squeeze without changing your grip or shifting your aim prevents muzzle movement that would throw off the point of impact. Moving the sights during the pull, ignoring the sights, or looking away while trying to shoot all disrupts that alignment and reduces accuracy.
