Release triggers are easier than pull triggers for me. I can shoot pull triggers, but I do flinch on occasion. I flinch rarely (less) with a release. Im talking clays in terms of RT. I hunt with pull triggers. Its easy to go back and forth, just as easy as going from a DT to a ST. It just takes some familiarity. Perazzi MX-8 guns make it easy to pop triggers in and out. Theres a difference with release triggers too. Some are way more smooth than others. Flinching is a complex thing. I have some eye disease problems and Im sure my flinch is a visual flinch more related to what my brain perceived (or didnt perceive) as a result of the vision. Recoil may play some role, Im not sure. However, when I was an avid skeet shooter in my youth, I shot mainly .410 to practice. When I got older, I flinched with .410 with pull triggers. I couldnt even pull the trigger sometimes. So, does recoil have anything to do with my flinch? A release has solved most of that for me. I have a friend who is an excellent sporting shot who shoots a release. He flinches so bad he cant even set the release trigger at times. Its a bizarre phenomenon. Doctors call it a dystonia. My bud now sets a release with his 3rd (middle) finger and is again having more success. Its all very odd. Don Currie, chief NSCA instructor calls release triggers a gimmick or he did at least on a podcast. I beg to differ. Not all of the thousands of Trapshooters who shoot a release can be wrong??
