    Sounds like you have the release technique sorted mate

    Good skills.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    The son came home to help with a dive job yesterday. Went out a 6.15am and came back in at 8.15am. Caught 8 released 1 and lost 3. The 3 I lost, because I was trying to lip grab them rather than netting them. Good fish and a couple of times we had double strikes, hot fishing.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
