What do you guys know about training trigger discipline in particular?
Don't jerk the trigger. Pull it straight back as smoothly as possible, and take all the slack out of it. Let the shot happen, don't force it or rush it. After the shot, slowly let the trigger come back forward, just enough so that it resets. You're now ready for the next shot. After enough practice, you can start to do this process a little faster.
An instructor could probably do a better job explaining/demonstrating this, but that's the basic idea. Practice these techniques at the range, supplement with some dry-firing at home, and you should improve.
Indeed. As implied by the above, any time you fire a round it should be a squeeze rather than a jerk or a pull. The actual point at which the weapon fires should almost come as a shock to you (of course after considerable practise it's not a shock, and this process can be pretty quick and look like a pull to the uninitiated).
This is all part of getting a repeatable picture through the sights, and ensuring consistency and control of the variables.
