Videos tagged with Smooth Trigger Press

This episode emphasizes that trigger pull is the most critical aspect of shooting, often overlooked by untrained individuals. Instructors Brent Wheat and Roy Huntington detail how to achieve a smooth trigger press, distinguishing it from 'trigger jerking.' They advocate for slow, deliberate practice, dry-firing, and using tools like lasers to diagnose and correct issues, stressing that mastering trigger control is fundamental to accurate shooting with any firearm.

This video provides expert-level instruction on trigger control from Joel Park, emphasizing principles over rigid techniques. It details optimal finger placement, the 'stacking pressure' method for pressing the trigger, and consistent trigger reset strategies. The advice is designed to be adaptable across various firearm types and skill levels, aiming to improve shooting accuracy by minimizing disruption during the shot.

This video from American Handgunner Insider, hosted by Tom McHale, explains why shooters miss easy shots by focusing on two key factors: physics and 'freaking out' (timing the shot). McHale demonstrates how the force required to operate a trigger can move a lightweight firearm, and how the natural tendency to yank the trigger when sights align leads to misses. He advocates for prioritizing a smooth trigger press over timing the shot precisely when sights are on target, suggesting this approach will improve accuracy for both heavy and light trigger pulls.

This video details essential carbine trigger control techniques for improved accuracy and speed. It emphasizes understanding your trigger's slack, wall, break, and reset points. The instruction covers smooth, consistent pressure to avoid disrupting the rifle's aim and introduces the advanced technique of resetting the trigger under recoil for faster follow-up shots.

This guide from Geauga Firearms Academy focuses on essential trigger control for new shooters. Key takeaways include ensuring proper grip distance for comfortable trigger reach, applying consistent pressure straight to the rear until the trigger breaks, and maintaining finger discipline by keeping it off the trigger until ready to fire. The instructor emphasizes that accurate shooting relies on aligning sights and executing a smooth trigger press without disturbing that alignment.
