#3 trigger control depends on what weapon you are using. Fingertip at short barrels (pistol etc), and hair triggers. 1/2.

With rifles the trigger might be different/not so soft. When shooting you shuld get more of yor finger trough the trigger.

I would argue that it's not about "holding" your breath. Personally, I line up shots and squeeze as I expel the last air out during exhale.

Some incorrect advice in this, such as finger placement doesn't matter as long as your able to squeeze the trigger and not pull it

Rear sight align doesn't matter since you only need to foucs on the front sight to be on target.

That is only correct for point shooting at close distances (even then, you will still be off, just probably not enough to matter).

You shouldn't be shooting more than 50 meters with a handgun and I like how I was downvoted for giving solid advice. Imgur is strange.
