I'd been chasing better trigger control for months and nothing really moved the needle the way I wanted. I started doing some basic grip strengthening for an unrelated reason, just general hand fatigue from a long week and a few weeks in I noticed my trigger press had gotten noticeably smoother without me actually working on it directly.
A lot of what gets blamed on technique is actually just a strength deficit wearing a technique costume. Once my hands could comfortably hold the grip pressure I needed for an entire string of fire, the trigger control I'd been chasing kind of showed up on its own. Grip work is now just a permanent part of the routine, right alongside the actual shooting drills.
Has something outside your actual practice ever ended up fixing a problem inside it?
