constantly increase the effort on pulling the trigger) but remember: your mind and your arm are doing anything to keep the gun on target. When the shaft is released you'll be suprised (you should NOT know when your gun will shoot).
I would suggest to practice a little bit whit any kind of weapon you have or borrowed....
If your mind says "now I pull the trigger" you'll miss.....
The above is a good way to be accurate with fish that swim slow or are static....
Yes, I'm sure you will not find many of them but it's a good point to start from....
After a good time of practice you'll be able to apply this procedure to swimming fishes as well....your misses will decrease drastically...

Pls let us know....

good idea Marmir. In target and assault type shooting that trigger technique is called a "surprise break" when as you say, pressure is increased slowly until gun goes off. In such firearms there is an easy test to see how the shooter does: fill the magazine but leave one round without primer (detonator) 90% of shooters on letting the hammer fall on this duff round will snatch the gun down.

to be honest though, these advanced techniques I can do with rifle or pistol, but they have never worked underwater with too many inputs as there are. or maybe I do it and don't notice?? will try this weekend though...
