I put something like a thumb tack on the wall "aim small, miss small concept" and practice my breathing and trigger control so that I can keep the crosshairs on the head of the Tack through the trigger breaking and my follow through. I never think about the round going off because I practice the same things regardless of actually sending a round down range or just running drills. I've put hundreds of rounds on target in my career practicing this way. looking forward to carrying it over to the 600-1000yds side of shooting and maybe some F-Class Matches.
