Not a problem at all. In fact, squeezing the trigger may slow you down and stop you from punching that release. LOL. If you plan to shoot the muzzleloader a lot make sure you stock up on cleaning supplies. Depending on you load, but no matter what the load, those things need to be clean.... A LOT. 3 or 5 shots later you'll notice it's harder to shove the load home and all that. They are tempermental and need a real good cleaning immediately after shooting. If you plan to shoot a lot in one sitting take your cleaning gear to the range for in practice cleaning.
