What term describes the results when the trigger finger pulls the trigger straight back with increasing yet constant and steady pressure until the firearm discharges?

• A. Sight picture
• B. Sight alignment
• C. Point shooting
• D. Trigger control

Answer: (D)

The main idea tested is how you apply the trigger to fire smoothly without disturbing your aim. Describing pulling the trigger straight back with increasing yet constant and steady pressure until the firearm discharges captures the essence of good trigger control: a deliberate, continuous press that culminates in the shot while keeping the sights stable. Sight alignment is about how the front and rear sights line up; sight picture includes the target within the aiming view; and point shooting is firing without using aligned sights. None of those describe the controlled, progressive trigger press that ensures a clean, accurate release, which is why the correct choice is trigger control.
