Does it take an action to ready an action?
The ready action allows you to react to a specific, “perceivable circumstance.” To do so, you can take the Ready action on your turn so that you can act later in the round using your reaction. When the trigger occurs, you can either take your reaction right after the trigger finishes or ignore the trigger.
Can you bonus action and then hold action?
No general rule allows you to insert a bonus action between attacks in a single action. You can interrupt a multiple-attack action with a bonus action/reaction only if the trigger of the bonus action/reaction is an attack, rather than the action.
When does a readied action activate after a trigger?
Do remember that a readied action activates AFTER the trigger, so you need to be particular. If you want to attack when the target is within range, don’t make it whenever they attack. GM “which enemy?”

How to choose a trigger for a new habit?
No matter what cue you choose for your new habit, there is one important thing to understand. The key to choosing a successful cue is to pick a trigger that is very specific and immediately actionable. For example, let’s say you want to build a new habit of doing 10 pushups each day at lunch time.
When do you release the trigger do you slap the trigger?
To practice slapping the trigger guard you must fully release the trigger after you fire. To properly do this after you fire a shot, let the trigger go as it recoils. By the time you are back on target your finger is back on the trigger and you are ready to fire.
