NCG Rules

Post by The Wiz » Fri Jun 28, 2019 7:48 pm

The other day i was at the range with my SGR/Scope and I was all over the place. Definitely me. I just could not relax and I was so frustrated that I was not going to finish the session when for some reason I remembered a piece of advice from NCG about a different way to hold and pull the trigger. It was to remove your right thumb, tuck it behind the trigger guard , hold and squeeze. After a few shots to get use to the feel, I was hitting the 10 spot on a regular basis. It seem to take some tension from the right arm and it just felt right. I believe she said a lot of competition shooters use that technique and I can see why. Not going back to the old way. Thanks NCG.

That's great! Glad I could help and thank you for the nice comments.

There's so much more to good trigger technique the squeeze, don't pull. Good point on on muscle tension in your arm. I actually practice relaxing the correct arm and hand muscles during my dry fire workouts. It really is the little things.
