losing the front sight after the muzzle flash...
One of the things I've been working on is "keeping the front sight in focus through the arc of recoil," but I keep losing track of the sight in the muzzle flash. It is like a flashbulb goes off and I can see a snapshot of where the sights were when the shot broke, but no matter how hard I try I can't seem to maintain focus on the front sight after that flash.
I know I am not blinking - I seem to be temporarily blinded/stunned in the way someone is when you shine a bright light in their eyes. I am usually able to see the sight fall back into the rear notch, but I can't help think that I'm losing something in the interim.
Has anyone else delt with this and, if so, how did you break through?

With practice, you will see faster. More frames per second. Seeing more will give you more information about your technique, and will allow you to call your shots better—especially in awkward positions where the recoil orbit is janky.
It’s normal to start with seeing just the endpoints. Keep paying attention! Also, if you can control the muzzle jump more, it’s easier to track the sight.
