I was just hoping to get some tips/advice or even some drills or exercises I can do to stop myself from blinking after the trigger press. On the first shot I see the sights/dot just fine, good trigger press, shot goes where I want and expect, but then I think I'm blinking when the shot breaks so it is costing me time tracking my sights/dot and taking the next shot. I don't "see" the sights/dot after the shot breaks and between shots. I have to "re-acquire" the dot after the shot breaks, and thus I have no idea where the shot actually landed.
I'm shooting a red dot and when I analyze my shooting I can remember seeing the sight picture I want and pressing the trigger, the shot breaks, but then I have no idea where the dot "went" and I just sort of automatically find and reacquire it to set up for the next shot. I don't ever remember "seeing" the dot bounce up and down or track. So the only reason for this I can think of is that I'm blinking.
I don't think I'm blinking all the time, just sometimes. I'm not sure why. Sometimes I'll shoot a string of fire at a moderate pace (1 round per half second or so) and track the dot just fine. Other times I break the first shot and as I'm setting up for the next shot I'm realizing that I don't recall ever seeing the sights track. The shot broke, the sights/muzzle moved, and I have no idea where or why.
I think that my muscle memory is just "assuming" the sights are tracking up and down and automatically correcting so maybe I'm not even tracking at all but rather I'm "cheating" and just adjusting for what I THINK the sights did instead of what they really did.
Any hints, tips, or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
