Thought I might try to air this out here and see if some of you doubles shooters can help. I shoot a release for singles and handicaps due to a timing flinch I developed with a pull trigger some time ago. Works fine. Where I’m hung up is on doubles, occasionally flinching on the second bird. Maybe as bad as 3-4 out of twenty five when using a release/pull trigger setup. With a double release, it’s worse. I don’t flinch, but it isn’t pretty either. Kind’a like a monkey and a football if you know what I mean. So I’m somewhere between a single release and a double release, but really can't use either effectively. I do best with the single release, but those occasional flinches really take all of the fun out of shooting doubles. The only way I can totally avoid flinching on the second bird with the single release is to shoot extremely fast on the second shot, but that’s not the answer either as it causes other problems, i.e. dropped targets, etc.
It doesn’t matter whose single release I shoot, (and I’ve tried several), the result is the same. I’ve tried starting over with the double release setup and I just can’t master it. Does anyone out there have any (serious) suggestions I might try?
