Jessob Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I am a third year student at the University of Gloucestershire and for my dissertation I am looking into trigger freeze in English skeet shooting. I am working with Phil Coley and Dryfire and I have designed an online survey for shooters to fill out. It requires shooters to shoot one English skeet competition and fill in their scores for each station and weather any trigger freeze occurs and to answer a couple of questions on a questionnaire. All data remains anonymous and participants must be over the age of 18. I am looking for more shooters to take part with or without trigger freeze. The survey takes a couple of mins and is really easy to fill out. I am looking for more shooters to take part, you can take part if you have or do not have trigger freeze. I'd love to get more data so I can produce a really good report. Below is the link the you would have to follow: http://myclayshootingrecord.com/triggerfreeze Any help would be greatly appreciated.

subsonicnat Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Would you believe, it also happens to people on Dart Boards, playing Darts. They tend to throw the whole body forwards, known to not be able to let the dart go. Amazing Really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie10 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Never tried to throw the gun instead of pulling the trigger, well only after some incredibly bad misses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 "Trigger Freeze" or a "flinch" occurs when your brain says "pull trigger" but your finger doesn't move on the trigger and therefore the gun doesn't fire. It may also be accompanied by an involuntary movement of the left hand, (of a RH shooter) literally jerking the gun offline. Most competition shooters have suffered from it now and again, some get it worse than others. All sorts of remedies have been put forward over the years, i.e. shoot lighter loads, use a recoil reducer, eat more / eat less / drink more / drink less, I'm not sure that there's a "one size fits all" answer....?

Whitebridges Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm only an occasional skeet shooter so don't feel qualified to complete your questionnaire. I'd just like to say i've never suffered from flinch. I think a lot of the reason is that i'm a well built fellow ( fat ****** ). I use the right gun for the the right load and have never remotely felt i've been bashed about by recoil. I don't like things like recoil pads and fancy gizmo thingy's because they are not necessary (for me). I know a few "blokes" who have had the yips to the extent that they have given up and went off to play golf and netball. Mind you these ladies were from Suffolk. Good luck with your dissertation Jessob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
