[ Sure, Byerly is behind him and can't see for sure, but he figures it's a good guess that Prior is closing his eyes again. He taps gently on Prior's chin - ]
Chin up. Shoulders relaxed. Arms bent just a little - [ He reaches out to adjust the posture of Prior's arms - ] Locking your joints is a recipe for injury.

And when you reach the end of your breath, just move your finger back - lightly. You only need a light pressure to fire.
