Default Follow through is very essential in precise shooting

My best description is that everything about sighting and holding the gun a second before the shot goes off is the same as a second after the shot goes off.

Give or take a half second...

As far as speed of the projectile and barrel length are concerned, it matters no matter what discipline you shoot, IMHO.

I shoot a Hammerli FP60 for Free Pistol useing Eley ammo at 1050 fps in a 12" barrel.
If your hold and triggering is right with good follow through, you made a good shot, follow through bad= bad shot+other variables of coarse.

Also shoot a Steyr LP1 with a 9" barrel for 10m air pistol at 450fps, same as the above.

Shot competative Skeet for about 5 years before I got into the pistol discipline, same thing but different for shotgun.
Eye on the target, match gun speed with target speed, have the proper lead, fire and follow through, was a sure dead target.

Follow through has a lot to do with precision shooting.

Just my .02cent worth.
