" And, on my follow-up shots, I have a tendency to let go of the
trigger instead of holding it down, and only allowing it to advance in order to reset and take the next shot. Hopefully, I will practice those bad habits out of my muscle memory on my next trip! "
In holding your trigger down after the shot, you are practicing a faddish but very bad habit. When the gun fires and recoils, you should have the trigger reset and be prepping it for the next shot by the time the gun comes down from recoil. This is the only way you are going to be proficient at quick follow up shots.
