You have to pull the trigger for a release fire same as a pull So why would you have it pointed anywhere but down range pull or release

 

[wrd]

Do not touch the trigger until your gun is pointed downrange and you are ready to call the bird and there will be no problem.

Release triggers are the work of the devil.

Says the man that converted my XT to double release. Maybe a new hat is needed.

Title pretty much says it all - how do your clubs handle shooters who repeatedly fire their release trigger guns unintentionally? I’m not even sure our club has a policy?

Thanks.

I am more dangerous with a pull than a release .......

I don't touch triggers. You must be thinking of Kerry.

George, time to close this stupid thread, or what next, how does your club handle the idiots that shoot semis and rain ejected hulls on expensive O/U’s???

 

[WickedIrish]

How do you guys put the pin back in a grenade …? And what is your ratio to worked/didn’t ….

 

[PULL PULL]

Had a good friend shooting a release . Called for the target. The shot bounced off the top of the trap house, and broke the target. We gave him a free lunch for that one!

Incompetence is not decided by a release versus pull trigger.
Enough said.

Depends on the style.

A club I was a member of used to have a policy First accidental discharge was paint the trap house or fix devit
second was $25 and third was in front of trap committee loss of privelages ,

 

[M60Gunner]

Usually a shake of the head and a memory stored or facial recognition to try to not shoot next to them or in the same squad . Being in the military I was surprised that lots of people had “negligent discharges”, especially deployed overseas after completing basic training. My father taught me at a young age…NEVER point a gun at anything you don’t want to shoot and NEVER put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

Most clubs as well as most shooters that have been shooting any length of time don’t give a sh!t when a gun goes off accidentally on the line.
Trap shooting has ridged rules about loaded guns and when to load as well as when it’s a no no to have a gun loaded.
If it’s on the line and a gun discharge’s accidentally no veteran shooter pays any attention to it.
Shit happens and it happened in a controlled situation.
Who cares???
Keep Shooting.
He might have to borrow a shell from someone but who cares?
It’s controlled!!!
Think about what I just said!!!!
Whether it be a release trigger or a pull trigger. By the way I have seen just as many pull triggers as well as release trigger fire accidentally in 40 plus years of trap shooting.

I've been trap shooting for 42 years. in every province of Canada and most of the states of the USA, I have seen many many accidental discharges all release triggers except 1 pull trigger.There was never a problem as all firearms were pointed down range.
One year at Linn Creek Mo. one of our shooters shot a traphouse twice in one event,he painted the traphouse later that day...we never let him forget it.

Worst Incident I've ever witnessed in 40yrs of shooting was with pull trigger guy about shot his foot off. Neglect is exactly that.

 

[tony4338]

So let me get this straight.
The shooter you speak of rests his barrel on his toes/foot. Then he loads a chamber while on that foot/toe proceeds to close the now loaded gun while barrel still setting on that foot/toe and finally without ever moving that barrel off that foot/toe then sets the trigger on his release???

That is one unhandy and troublesome technique that Iam not sure that Iam coordinated enough to perform. Needless to say, I wouldn’t want to perform it 25 times in a row!

Yes thats exactly what happened. He was a member of the other club. Needless to say it was not a great scene on many different levels.

 

[tony4338]

What club do you shoot at?

I would rather not say, because the shooter in question was well known in our league, but suffice it to say that if you are really from Pittsburgh we are not thar far apart.

Thanks.

Why didn’t you just start this thread on how do you handle accidental discharges.

Release Triggers have nothing to do with accidental discharges, they happen period.

Then each one is different.

I have seen plenty over the years and it really doesn’t bother me any as long as the gun is pointed down range, that is the safety factor.

I believe these can be handle with common sense and there is no one rule that fits all.

 

[Retired66]

I had one go off recently on release. my first. My fault. Got 2-3 broken birds...just lost my concentration and should have just shot then reloaded on the first bad bird. Nothing harmed I was pointed down range...it happens......
