Pinning Trigger

Fundamentals with Mike Hughes: 4 Going Beyond Pinning the Trigger

To shoot off the reset the shooter must prep the shot, break the shot and then return the trigger finger to the "reset". We want to minimize wasted motion therefore, when we release the trigger we want the trigger finger to come forward enough to hear the click which means the internal seer mechanism has reset and then reapply slight pressure to the trigger.
You can see when the shooter is not shooting off the reset because the red laser comes completely off.
It should be noted that the red laser will only come on when the trigger is prepped but will turn off when we come off the trigger.

LE 1:4 Diagnosing and Fundamentals: Pinning the Trigger

In this video Sprout discusses the habit of pinning the trigger rearward. Pinning the trigger is important when you're first learning but it can be a determinant over time. Basically pinning the trigger is defined as holding the trigger all the way back after the shot is broken. When you first start out this is an important skill set because it teaches full follow through but to progress beyond that we have to reset the trigger as quickly as possible.
