What is the term for continuing to squeeze the trigger after the bullet fires?

  1. Trigger stopping

  2. Follow-through

  3. Precision grip

  4. Locking in

The correct answer is: Follow-through

This term is called "follow-through" as it refers to the action of continuing to apply pressure on the trigger even after the bullet has fired. This helps maintain proper grip and control of the firearm, resulting in a more accurate shot. Option A, "trigger stopping," is incorrect because it implies the opposite action of abruptly releasing the trigger after firing, which would disrupt the aim. Option C, "precision grip," is incorrect as it does not specifically refer to the action of the trigger finger. Option D, "locking in," is also incorrect because it does not accurately describe the action of maintaining pressure on the trigger.
