Friendsville Precision Dry Fire Device is a cool idea. I didn't know anything like that existed.

Quit reading after the 87th "are you sure it's clear" reference.

Bump because Billy is putting out info lots of you need to learn.
Just as important to building a solid shooting position is the “Follow Through”. If you have done everything else correct then the follow through is just a natural conclusion to the trigger pull. This is the act of staying relaxed through out the recoil of the rifle and your body absorbing it. You do not release the trigger until your sights have settled back on your target. You will know a perfect shooting position if your follow through lands your sights directly back to the sight picture you had just prior to the trigger pull.
A method to practice your Follow Through is that after your sights have landed back on target, maintain that sight picture for a full breath Billy I edited the excerpt above to reflect how I explain it to students. I don't teach to pull or press the trigger slowly as that encourages milking the trigger and ends up creating a "HERE IT COMES!!!" anticipation of the break that ends up encouraging an anticipatory flinch. Instead I teach that once the sight lands on target at the end of the exhalation they press the trigger cleanly through as quickly as they can do so smoothly (I'll demo this a few times with an empty rifle so they can watch my trigger finger). Folks trying to s-l-o-w-l-y creep through a trigger pull end up building a horrible habit. I teach them to keep the trigger held to the rear for a full breath simply to build the habit of not doing anything until long after the bullet has left the barrel and explain that with practice they can speed that up (and demo it both ways). |

Thinking about it, that's how I do it when focusing on my follow through. I may very well take your words on the trigger pull 
ETA: I updated that section. Oddly, in the Intro article I never gave a speed at which to pull the trigger, just that it should be repeatable and straight back. Thanks for the catch. I appreciate any and all feed back
