and that is a scary prospect, be afraid be very afraidMost certainly not.....or we will have to have words again..!
How can it be easier to accidentally discharge a release trigger over a conventional trigger? Either way, you have to pull the trigger, and if it is pointing in the wrong direction when you do, the same thing happens.Saw someone use one on a driven shoot once because his regular gun was being serviced (mid-season - good planning!!)
He only peppered one dog that day, but that was ok apparently as pickers-up should not work around the guns during the drive. The dog was behind the line by the way, as was the handler who walked off soon after he told the gun his thoughts on the way to the vets.
He had three accidental discharges that day, but again, that was ok because nobody got hurt!!
Quite honestly the scariest thing I have ever seen at a shoot. I know the clay range is a more controlled environment but I'm afraid I agree with Shootinguru. "Should be sent to room 101" :biggrin:
Quite simply Aris. When you want a conventional trigger to fire, you pull it. When using a release trigger you pull it, then wait utill you are ready to fire, holding pressure on the trigger to prevent it from firing. It's like holding a hand grenade with the pin out, and from that point onwards, you've got to throw it somewhere. Personally I don't touch my trigger until I want to fire because I know what happens when I do.How can it be easier to accidentally discharge a release trigger over a conventional trigger?
