re: Shooting techniques when in a school of Fish

Having missed lots of larger fish close in and hitting smaller fish further away I think I know what affects my accuracy the most - and it isn't the gun!
The things I reckon most frequently cause me to make a poor shot are:
1. Not having straigtened out arms, e.g if I am hiding in kelp and my arms are bent trying to conceal myself - I frequently miss what I think are very easy targets
2. Snatching at the trigger - again I think I have a dead cert so I pull the trigger too hard and the gun direction is altered as a result - I need to concentrate on the 'even pull'
Most of the time if I have straight arms and gently squeeze I have a reliable aim. I do not even conciously sight the gun or look along the barrel - it becomes a bit of an instinctive reaction. Often if I slow down and take careful aim I even get nervous!!
