Getting the gun hot

I filled the sky with lead last weekend, but few birds were harmed as a result. Some thoughts from Chris Batha via Shotgun World:

On the break point…

The ability of the hand and eye to accurately point at an object is phenomenal. We never miss! We have only to harness this natural ability to accurately establish the break point of any target. Pointing at the established gun hold and moving your eyes back to the visual hold, call for the target. Your eyes’ natural saccadic and pursuit movements acquire the target as it reaches your finger. This subconscious reaction to movement will maintain the eye and hand connection throughout the target’s flight. During this action, the eyes’ pursuit movements will peak, hard focusing on the target, making it appear both sharper and slower. This is the break point.
