How to Shoot Faster, More Accurately: Trigger Reset| Gun Talk

Published on August 25, 2018
Duration: 2:22

This video explains and demonstrates a technique for faster and more accurate shooting by optimizing trigger reset. Instead of deliberately finding the audible reset after each shot, the instructor advocates for allowing the trigger to reset during the firearm's recoil cycle. This allows for a continuous trigger press for subsequent shots, significantly increasing shooting speed and accuracy. The instructor emphasizes that this is the technique used by top shooters.

Quick Summary

Learn the advanced trigger reset technique: press the trigger through the shot, hold rearward pressure during recoil, and allow the trigger to reset while the firearm is in recoil. This minimizes manipulation, enabling faster follow-up shots and increased accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the traditional trigger reset teaching method?

The traditional method taught for trigger reset involves pulling the trigger through the shot, then slowly releasing it until an audible click is heard, indicating the trigger has reset. This is often done deliberately after each shot.

Why is the traditional trigger reset technique considered flawed for speed and accuracy?

The traditional method is considered flawed because it requires a deliberate pause to find the audible reset, slowing down follow-up shots. Top shooters utilize a more efficient technique that integrates trigger reset with the firearm's recoil cycle.

What is the recommended trigger reset technique for faster shooting?

The recommended technique is to press the trigger through the shot and then maintain rearward pressure during recoil. As the gun cycles, allow the trigger to reset while the firearm is in recoil, enabling an immediate press for the next shot.

How does resetting the trigger during recoil improve shooting?

Resetting the trigger during recoil allows for a continuous trigger press, significantly reducing the time between shots. This leads to faster shooting and improved accuracy by minimizing unnecessary manipulation of the trigger.
