Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary goal of proper trigger control in shooting?

The primary goal of proper trigger control is to operate the trigger without disrupting the firearm's aim. This ensures that when the shot breaks, the rifle remains precisely on target, leading to increased accuracy and faster follow-up shots.

How does one identify the 'wall' and 'reset' points of a firearm's trigger?

The 'wall' is found by taking up the trigger's slack until resistance is felt just before discharge. The 'reset' is identified by slowly releasing the trigger after a shot until a distinct click is felt, indicating it's ready to fire again.

What is 'resetting under recoil' and why is it beneficial?

Resetting under recoil means allowing the trigger to return to its reset point while the firearm's action cycles. This technique minimizes the time between shots, making the shooter faster and more efficient by reducing the distance the trigger needs to travel for the next shot.

Can trigger control be improved for faster shooting without sacrificing accuracy?

Yes, by mastering trigger control, including understanding slack, wall, and reset, and practicing techniques like resetting under recoil, shooters can significantly increase their speed while maintaining or even improving accuracy.
