°Sight alignment and trigger squeeze/pull are the two most essential pieces of marksmanship. It’s imperative that when firing a shot that these two items be mastered.
°Below are a few critical tips on how to pull a trigger.
Trigger Squeeze ☆
In reality, the manipulation of the trigger is not really by squeezing it. Instead it can be a slow push to the rear or even a slap.

Proper Finger Placement ☆
How and where to place your finger on the trigger is important. You should place the inner part of your index finger, between the end of your finger and the first knuckle on the trigger. +++

+++ This placement is crucial because too far in one direction or the other can cause you to start pushing or pulling rounds.
How To Bend Your Finger ☆
Fingers have a tendency to curl when they pull because of the multiple knuckles. While this is great for gripping, it’s terrible for trigger pull. Bend your finger in a manner where only the second knuckle is bent, and your finger makes a 90° angle. ++

++ This will help your finger to pull directly back, rather than pull to one side or the other. If you ever see your rounds grouping to the left of the target, it means that your finger is curling too much and is forcing the barrel of the gun to the left.
°How you manipulate the trigger determines if you’ll hit the target. So, while it may seem an easy task, it is an important one to become good at.
