Nub, I have walked that road so I know exactly what you are talking about. Here are a few of the symptoms I have found for the release "not wanting to go off" in my case.

1.I was not closing my hand down enough on the release and just found myself pulling and pulling and pulling and pulling with nothing happening...

2. I find that if I rotate and put just a little pressure on the release with my thumb I get a little better "back tension" release.

3.My anchor was just off slightly causing my hand to sit a little different and making it harder to pull and squeeze correctly.

4. I was just searching for the trigger, fixed this with a little trigger shoe.

5. Adjusting the travel and spring tension will help....


Obviously, with any new product you will have a learning curve. I did very well at first and once I was "used" to the release things got a little messy but I am cleaning up again. Been shooting very well since then... I hope this helps you out. I think a lot of it has to do with having a new and different sequence to get the release to fire. I believe in time it will become second nature just as it did with an index finger style. Let me know if any of this helps. TGK
