The arcs of your finger and the trigger are at right angles to each other. As the trigger is traveling in a circle back and up, your finger is traveling out and back in. The two are working against each other for the full length of the trigger’s movement. It’s pretty obvious why most people have trouble maintaining muzzle alignment with all that going on.

It’s my contention that all this movement causes most shooters to try hanging on to the trigger – grasping it with the trigger finger – because it feels like it’s trying to get away.

Remember that the trigger is rotating up and away from the trigger finger. The finger slides down the trigger face, and the natural reaction is to hang on by curling the tip of the finger inward. It’s as if the shooter is trying to keep the trigger from running away from home!

This movement is worsened by the finger’s natural movement, which is toward the palm as it flexes backward. As the trigger is moving out of the finger’s grasp, the finger is naturally moving to grasp the trigger more tightly. This is where psychology meets physics.
