I forgot to mention another advantage, it keeps me from buying/selling/trading guns regularly. At 77 I am shooting better than ever in part as a result of shooting the same guns for 10 years. You don’t take $900 conversions lightly. Not like changing recoil pads.

 

Shooting more double trigger SXS's, so any release triggers are not in the future.

 

The results speak for themselves. Congratulations.

 

I switched to a release over 20 years ago. It definitely helped my flinching for a long time.
However for the past couple of years, my flinch has returned. Now I cant set the trigger.
Frustrating...

 

I have a very good friend, who is an ATA All American and in the ATA Hall of Fame that helped me move to a double release. He now has to set the trigger with the gun open and hold it while he closes it and shoots. That might be the next step for you.

 

Skybuster. come to my house, I can most likely get you over/past that issue

 

Did switching to 20 gauge or shooting the semi for a while do anything to postpone this?

 

No.

 

Oh, wittle Twon gets a bump on his shoulder. Poor wittle guy gets an owie and now can't pull the twigger.

So sorry

 

Stupid Witeralist.

 

Over the last couple of years or so, I have been struggling with a persistent flinch that kept getting worse and worse. I'd call pull, bear down on the target and couldn't pull the trigger. It was very frustrating and I was losing tournaments by one or two targets and got reduced from Master Class to AA in Sporting Clays. I took my K80 and KX6 to Kerry Allor to have release triggers installed and I couldn't be happier. It's the best move I've made in years. First time out with the KX6 I broke 148/150 and won AA in the Great Lakes Championship last week with my K80. Got 4 punches in my first tournament with a release. I have since converted my 391 to a release and my 870. My other shotguns I'm just going to sell because I just don't need them anymore.

I wish I had done this a few years ago.

What do you plan to do for SxS competitions? (Is the Fabarm still in transit?)

 

Not sure yet. Yes, the Infinite is still in transit.

 

Let go triggers are the work of the devil.

 

Your post echoes something vaguely familiar.

 

I did the same thing and it really made a difference. Happy to hear the release trigger’s working out for you.

 

I was told years ago by an All American that if you needed a release you were just a coward.

 

I was told by a moderator that you are a Troll.

 

Tron transitioning ! What other news on Trapshooters.com could top this story ?

 

I had the same problem and made the switch 8 months ago and it has made a huge difference for me. +Congratulations on making the successful move to a release trigger.

 

As an addendum, I spoke to Robert Paxton a while back and he said that after 15 years of shooting release triggers he had gone back to pull. Said he couldn’t explain it. He Is shooting primarily Helice these days. Anyone else successfully gone back?

 

In my Perazzi, I "pull" out one release trigger, then I "release" another trigger to replace it.

 

Trying to switch now and struggling, so far after about 600 targets I am considering reverting. FRUSTRATING. The guys I shot with tell me to keep going it will come.
Getting old is rough

 

When Tron says he's going to shoot a Guerini, we will know it's over for sure. Good luck and happy shooting.

 

I’d rather die.

 

I went to a release in my TMX when I was 27 after 11 years of release and a few double release i decided to try pull trigger and go back and forth this year i shot a pull trigger the whole season it was good till I had the 2 rounds were i flinch 5 out of 25 now im looking for a different guns and both will be release. I don't flinch as bad in singles but in doubles, sporting Clay's and helice it is bad. Tron congratulations on the release! To anyone that starting to flinch that is not a visual flinch try a release

 

Just curious about shooting sporting clays, skeet and doubles with release trigger. I feel I could shoot trap with release alright, but maybe confusing a little for release-pull-release again.

 

I do all of them with a double release with no issues at all. Now I am being asked to go Pheasant hunting un two weeks and have to go back to a pull for the first time 7 years...should be interesting.

 

Do you see many folks with release triggers shooting registered sporting clays?

Its All Good

Very very few. All the ones I know were originally high volume Trap shooters.

 

Tron, do you shoot sub-gauge? Tube set? I have double release in my pro sporter and use the Briley Sidekick 2.0's.... they work great.

 

Haven't got a tube set yet, but it's on my want list.

Ive been contemplating a release. Shot my buddies the other day, couldn't make myself fli ch.

 

@Snooky pull release numbers would not work for me but his knowledge of what works for him is all that is important. KNOW WHAT WORKS FOR YOU and forget what others want you to try

 

At one point my flinch was so bad that I was considering a release mouse for my computer. LOL
