Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Great Article by Phil Shoemaker

There is obviously more than one way to get the job done. For experienced shooters the difference only amounts to a fraction of a second.

I have used both but find the trigger finger/thumb/socket slightly faster as I can simply roll my wrist up and back and quickly foreward again and my trigger finger is on the trigger. That way you don't have to also twist your hand over to strike the bolt to eject and then reverse it to close it - and then find the trigger again.
