Cheap, Good trigger control exercises

[badicedog]

We are all short on time or low on ammo for range trips. I thought this would be a good alternative to help with trigger control. I started with 4 sets of 50 reps. What do you guys think?

I play Xbox, I'm using the muscles in my trigger finger, racing games are the best as you have to apply varying ammounts of pressure . this is the lie I tell myself anyway.....

Just plain old dry firing. Use a snap cap if you're concerned about damaging the gun and triple check that the gun is cleared. Make sure there is no ammunition in the room. Then do disciplined, careful trigger presses -- making sure that there is no movement of the sights. Concentrate fully on each press of the trigger.

How does the device work?

Does it break like a trigger?

Do you have a point of reference so you know you are keeping your hand tight but not moving the sights?

Still waiting on an xbox/ ps game that uses the 6 axis sensors to move the sights and shots when the player yanks the trigger.

Just basic finger strengthening exercises, which indirectly help with trigger control

I learned dime drills in the Army. It works good, and you can easily do it in your home. Put a dime on the barrel and practice trigger pulls without knocking the dime off.

I race RC cars and use a trigger for accelerating and braking… with my off hand. My off hand trigger control is as good as my dominant hand.


Not a cheap way to improve it though...

Use something like a Gripmaster for finger strengthening. You can get them pretty much anywhere - music stores, REI, Amazon... The Captains of Crush finger grippers are also quite good for improving your finger strength.

But nothing beats actually using your trigger to practice trigger control. Nothing will break the same.

+1 on Gripmaster.

A strong grip gives you a smooth, steady trigger pull, it also trains you to move your trigger finger without moving the other fingers (sympathetic movements)

One scratch on her purse and you won't be getting any...
