Unless there is action right in front of you that you can't miss, rewind 
early.

If you get a break in the action and the counter says 32 then reload!
Don't wait!
Never get caught with an empty gun (camera).

Reload, then its sight alignment, center of mass,  squeeze.

Oooops wait! - try this instead - focus, frame, squeeze.
