I'm sure this has been discussed at some point, but I probably haven't seen it yet, but how do ready positions interact with trigger finger placement?
From what I have gathered so far, low ready and everything leading up to low ready would require a finger specifically off the trigger. But is the decision to point a gun at something the same as the decision to put your finger on the trigger, or are their other factors that might cause you to do one and not the other?
Put another way, if my barrel is averted, and then I see something that I decide requires a shot, is my shot process "align barrel -> place finger on trigger -> pull trigger" or is it "align barrel while placing finger on trigger -> pull trigger"?
Apologies if this has been covered and I just missed it.
