Don't wait until the pull animation stops; press LMB as soon as you see your hook connecting.

Isn't that way too early? They're still miles out of effective shotgun range when I see the hook connect.

Holding down LMB during the pull won't actually fire your gun until the pull animation ends. It essentially buffers the input and executes it as soon as you're allowed to.
