Hi Lauryn . . . great advice ! I have been shooting Dbl release for dercades now in my O/U. I also shoot 7/8 oz loads on targets in sporting within 30 yatds, and 1 oz beyond 30yds. I still remember shooting a 99 in Handicap Trap with a pull trigger years ago, because I flinched target 23 away on my first field and ran the rest ! Thanks so much for sharing

I so enjoy you posting new videos. Thank you. I learned how to shoot Skeet with your instruction (watched those videos over and over as I progressed - I picked up more and more of what you were getting at as I developed). My Skeet average is now 23 - and I do everything like you - except go to the bathroom!

the release trigger won, cure the cause of the trigger freeze followed by flinching. Is like hiding the dust under the carpet :} A lot of people flinch with release trigger as well.

I shoot a lot of skeet (8 to 10 rounds weekly) with a very good shooter, ie: 24's and 25's consistently. He has, at times, a crazy bad flinch. It's not recoil, he knows how to address every station and bird. My thought on this is, the shooter is "expecting" to see the bird a certain way, or, even miss seeing the bird as quick as they normally do, and it changes his perspective on the shot, and ends up with the flinch freak out.

Good video👍🏻 Personally if I get a flinch it’s because I haven’t let my eyes settle in the background before calling for the target. It’s more pronounced when shooting with a fast squad where you want to maintain or keep pace with the cadence of the squad.

There is another fix for flinching but surprisingly no one ever mentions it. I have used it to help out a number of shooters with great success.

A couple of additional thoughts....Learn the math behind recoil, the why behind a heavier gun, lower velocity, lighter payload affects recoil. It's easy math and may help you make a more informed decision on how to proceed. Be sure the gun fits you correctly. An ill-fitting gun can bruse both shoulder and cheek. It's literally a pain to shoot and no amount of playing with ammuniton or gun weight will change that. Consider a semi-automatic shotgun. While the recoil energy will be the same all things being equal (gun weight, payload weight and velocity), the perceived recoil will feel less because it is spread over a longer period of time. It will feel more like a push than a smack. If you have the opportunity, shoot several differnt makes. Some designs shoot softer than others. Finally, if you do use a release trigger, in competition (if allowed) you MUST inform the judge/referee that you are using a shotgun equipped with a release trigger.

My flinch manifests itself as recoil antioption and I tense up just as I pull the trigger and my left hand pulls the gun to the left and low, I've tried lighter loads had a recoil shock absorber fitted to the stock nether have worked. this all started within 6 months of starting shooting. it cost me on avg 6-8 targets in a 100 bird comp.

Had never heard of a release trigger until this, it doesnt sound great

Interesting. Trigger freeze destroyed my shooting for several years. I went from the top to the bottom of the leaderboard the moment it struck. I tried lighter loads, pulling the trigger with my middle finger, muscle exercises, hypnotherapy and several other techniques. Nothing worked with consistency. Eventually I switched to a release trigger and it really was a game changer. Not only did it fix the freeze but it’s such an advantage shooting trap targets. Shooting becomes instinctive, relaxed and natural. There’s no way I’d go back to a pull trigger now, even if I could.

I think release triggers should be banned ,dangerous I think.

@jan.powell-sijperda Ай бұрын

Nonsense. They’re no more dangerous than any loaded gun.

@erikwilson7622 Ай бұрын

Agree with you on that. For one reason,,,, I recall, not once, not twice, but several times in a very heavy attended trap club, people with the exact same shotgun, someone picks it up, without thinking it's not theirs, loads a shell and then doesn't understand what happened to their gun. Yes, the more I think about it, they are dangerous.
