If every trigger pull was a reset pull I'd be quite happy.

This is old and outdated. Don't think it, don't do it. It's like riding a 1920s steam engine. Sure, it can go 40MPH, but it will never do 100MPH.

There are a bunch of great YouTube videos on the correct way to hold a gun and manipulate the trigger. Basically you want to grip the gun with about 70-85% with your weak hand. This allows the trigger finger to move freely. When you begin the trigger pull process the first thing you do is prep the trigger by taking the slack or pre travel out of it. You should have the trigger pulled back to the "wall" aka the point were it gets firm. As you align the sights you begin to pull through that "wall". Once proper sight alignment on the target is achieved you squeeze through the "wall" and break the shot. At this point the gun fires and the the recoil process begins and you see the front sight flip up out of the rear sight notch. While you are watching that front sight flip up then back down you should release the trigger all the way and instantly prep it back through the pre travel taking the "slack out". So when the sights recover back to the proper alignment in the rear notch and on target you are ready to squeez through the "wall" again.

Google SigSauer Max Michel and you will find 4-5 great videos on how to properly shoot.

Thanks for the videos and advice, Jesse. I have some practicing to do.

Sometimes I'm really proud of how I shoot (considering how many matches I've shot) and other times I just shake my head. I shot the Bang & Clang in 4.25 this weekend with 29/30 points but I had stages I totally sucked at. Practice practice, practice is what I need. I'll find time before too long to take the class you mentioned.
