Thread: Dealing with a flinch

trigger pull is a funny thing...2-3-4lb works great..too light and you will stuff it up on quick shots,trigger finger will rest on trigger as going onto target and fire too soon...lost pig on dairy pasture from that...I also found back in my bad flinch days..too light made it worse as I lost control of when it would fire...3lb is pretty good FOR ME.

funny wee flinch story to show how bad it can get.
3 of us on range,all young fellas all wiht 270s .mate had trouble zeroing his ruger so I had a go..trigger was terribly heavy and I had fired a few rounds..I LITERALY could not make it go bang... I too kround out and could pull trigger no worries, pt a round in and just could not do it.. my mind knew the boot was coming and remembered the heavy triggerr thing from back when my rifle was bad for it.... it was that balls up that made me go and buy a thick bisly recoil pad for the old rifle..no limbsavers back then..... I spent next 15 years happily shooting rifle as it was ,with lightish reloads,then fitted suppressor and worked back into hottish loads.
keep at it bud....you WILL beat this.
