How the Pros Reset their Triggers | CLASS EXCERPT!

John teaches Trigger Reset for fast and accurate shooting during one of his pistol classes. This is part of his curriculum taught during each class he offers to encourage better technique. The old method of pinning the trigger to the rear presents multiple problems and John explains how to properly reset your trigger when engaging a target.

in the uk if you turn up to a range with armor, you would be kicked out of the range and the other shooters will call the police who will then red flag you and take away your guns ! according to fudds and government lovers only the police can be trusted with body amour and defensive shooting !

Great idea. I've already made my wife watch the "Psychiatrist w/ John on Couch" one. Also see the already existing Garand Thumb "If You've Ever" compilation (whew... had to make sure I typed that correctly).

[@SullyCortez]

When I first started learning this technique, I was very hesitant because I wasn’t as deadly accurate as I normally am. However with time, that will go away and allow you to be just as accurate but now you command when the shot breaks vs waiting on the trigger to tell you when you’re ready to go again. Great teaching with the autonomic flinch technique

[@anthonyluisi7096]

Sully Cortez , thx for explaining this because I’m going through the same process and I’m shooting like crap ... Good to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel .. I was doubting myself ..👍🏻

[@toddk1377]

I was doing this too, especially so I can shoot faster with less trigger movement. Have to start out slow to maintain accuracy and practice going faster while still accurate. Once the accuracy declines then you've superseded your ability and that's where you need to train to keep the speed and accuracy until you can shoot faster and faster while still being accurate. All about maintaining that balance, though up close speed is more important and accuracy becomes more important with precision and distance....if that makes sense.

[@BIaccCat]

Deadly accurate huh laser eyes?

[@stephenmitchell3569]

After taking your pistol class and learning this, it took me about 6 months of working on it before really feeling comfortable with it. I had such a habit of doing it the other way for so many years, it was really hard to change it. I will have to say though, it does make a difference!

[@jamiesloan5902]

Yup. THIS is the correct way. I see too many people on KZbin hold the trigger back for what seems like an eternity(I'm assuming it's to exaggerate follow thru), followed by them letting the trigger return slowwwwwwly back to reset, then as soon as they hear the reset click, they fire the gun, in a panic. I always thought that it was ridiculous. I'm glad that you cleared that up. Thanks, John.

[@Thumpr110]

I think this advice is spot-on for shooters that are beyond the basics. I think pinning the trigger is still extremely valuable for new shooters to help establish the feel of each part of the trigger press, as well as learning exactly how much distance the finger needs to travel.

[@ssracer02]

So I decided to give this a shot today and wow what a difference it makes. I need more practice of course, but after just a couple of mags I was already shooting faster and just as, if not more, accurate than I do waiting for the trigger reset. I did have one or two where I unintentionally double tapped and shot a little high, but this is definitely the way I will be shooting from now on.
