Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Off-On' trigger reset technique?

The 'Off-On' technique involves letting the trigger reset just past the audible click during the gun's recoil. You then immediately bring the trigger back to the 'wall' (prep stage) for the next shot, enabling faster follow-up shots.

Why is proactive trigger reset better than pinning the trigger?

Proactive reset is faster because you don't wait for the click. Pinning the trigger causes a pause, slowing down your rate of fire. The proactive method allows for quicker transitions between shots while maintaining accuracy.

How does trigger reset affect shooting speed and accuracy?

Mastering trigger reset significantly increases shooting speed by reducing the time between shots. When done correctly, it also maintains or improves accuracy, as the technique helps manage recoil and follow-through.

Can trigger reset techniques be practiced with dry fire?

Yes, dry fire practice is highly effective for mastering trigger reset. Focusing on the 'Off-On' motion and feeling the reset point without live ammunition helps build the necessary muscle memory.
