I wasn't sure which style of shooting we're discussing in this thread until now. So, as we shift to a new thread, another question:
How would the focus on trigger pull change if, for example, one is shooting at 1000 yards and using a highly tuned target trigger with 1.5 lb pull and almost no movement?
From the previous description, it seems that a simple extension of "pull when sight picture is right" might be OK.
There is a fairly significant body of literature that can be summed up as "pull the trigger slowly enough that the shot is a surprise." Does this philosophy become more prominent in your school of thought for long-range precision shooting? Alternatively, do things like mirage, wind conditions, timing for heart beat make the "pull when sight picture correct" as or even more important?
