How many times do we get our site picture but still land the round just off of the mark?
Through my years of exposure to various firearms I have learned that you don't always have the perfect scenario to get a shot off. We sometimes have to make a hasty move or shiver in the cold until the right moment comes. One way to keep your focus and prevent missing a prime opportunity is to sweep your sector very slowly and picking targets at various distances to "dry fire" at. When the actual moment comes then you will have a honed confidence in your ability to hold steady.
Last but not least put safety first when dealing with any firearm...keep it on safe until you actually have the target in your sight picture.

Hardcase,
Very interesting topic. My personal issues with shooting are a matter of comfort from "field" positions at various ranges. I sometimes find myself trying to time the shot (pulling the trigger when the crosshairs drift into the vitals) rather than taking more time to get steady. At closer ranges, this isn't an issue. But it creates bad shooting habits. I try to practice dry firing on occaision to improve these problems, and when I can get out and do some actual shooting, it does help.
