Sustained (timed) fire / ideal form
How should a good sustained fire string should look in a dot scope? I would think the "ideal" form would be something like a sawtooth wave, with the dot jumping vertically on firing then dropping in a controlled manner back to the aiming area. Something like the attached image (red x near firing points).
A while back Steve Turner posted videos of dot during sustained fire. I find these very helpful but question for master shooters: is this what sustained fire should look like? Here is 22:

And 45: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OoeRxVPyxU&t=1s
There is a similar video of an AMU shooter. It is mostly about shot calling, but starting at 1:43 he shows what appears to be amazingly good 45 SF - not much different than a sawtooth wave:

What should we shoot for?

Slow fire allows ten minutes for ten shots. You would usually rest the pistol on the bench between shots and take ten individual shots.

Re: Sustained (timed) fire / ideal form
Thanks Ashley. The thought of a saw-tooth wave is more schematic than what is actually seen: time on the horizontal axis and POA distance from center on the vertical axis. Plotting the AMU shooter's movement seems like that - recoil rapidly up, then returning steadily down to center before firing again.

Don’t over think it. Center the dot, squeeze, rest.
