THE CRUEL ICY FINGER OF TRIGGER FREEZE

Very nearly frozen out of the sport

Trigger freeze struck out of nowhere for Paul Henderson, Gunroom Manager at the Bywell Shooting Ground.

I’m pretty sure that recoil is at the root of my trigger freeze. Like most experienced shots I’ll track a target, come to pull the trigger, my mind says bang and the gun goes off. It’s that instinctive.

But one day, my simply brain refused to tell my finger to pull the trigger.
