“I favor “right.””

In target shooting, the coach tells you to “favor left” or “favor right” meaning hold the front sight to the left or right a little bit. Sometimes you can catch a little wind correction that way - a little gust or something - without adjusting your sight. In rapid fire, you don’t have time to adjust your windage, so you hold on the target a little differently after you’ve scoped your first two shots.

When you tell someone to “favor center”, it’s a wish they hit the X. Kind’a like telling an actor to “break a leg”. It means “shoot straight”.
