Follow-through

Follow-through is the continued effort of the shooter to maintain a proper sight picture before, during, and after the firing of the round.  The shooter must continue the rearward movement of the trigger finger even after the round has been fired.  Releasing the trigger too soon after the round has fired results in an uncontrolled shot, causing a missed target.
