    Guns are just machines and without you they can do no harm, nor any good

    I find post ignition push is entirely subconsious and not something you can train. I don't think you can achieve top level speed performance/recoil control without it. Can you hit 1.7 bill drills or .15 splits, then throw a dummy round in the mag and not a see a dip?

    The problem people run into as instructors is not understanding what it is and beating up shooters who show muzzle dip on a ball and dummy drill when their rounds are hitting the intended target. I won't even put a shooter through a ball and dummy drill unless I see their rounds hitting low or low/left. It has to be a combined diagnosis of rounds hitting low and low/left with a ball and dummy drill flinch to start trying to work on the flinch.

I've always been told you want to be able to balance a coin on the front sight when the firing pin falls on a dummy. Which is right?
    The balance a coin act is great if you're trying to work on a slow smooth bullseye style trigger press. It's not so beneficial for any kind of action shooting.
