Default Darn it, I did it again !!

I seem to work my release like an old shovelhead Harley, wind up and give it all ya got....POW !!

Started on working on slowin' down a little on the trigger kickin'...ended up with a new Scott Sabertooth release at this point. Like where the trigger was located and the larger barrell.

So, other than turning the trigger into a razor blade, any good things that helped you NOT jump on the trigger. I do hear alot of how video systems work against you.. so I may need to rethink that one in the winter time.

Help

Practice with your eye's closed helps me.

Also shoot a short range

I saw that and man was I surprised Rob.

Instead of putting your finger on the tip of the trigger, teach yourself not to shoot until you have your finger curled over the trigger into your second (larger) knuckle....and do that as Germ recommends, up close to a target with your eyes shut or blindfolded. Practice release only, not target accuracy, think ZEN.

I like the larger barrel for a trigger and on the new Sabertooth release that I have, it sits in perfect position to do ust that. I worked on this alot yesterday and noticed a big difference within a short time.

Appreciate the help and the suggestions. I do like the 10 tie between the nock loop that Buckeye showed us. Gonna get that done by the weekend.
