[QUOTE="A/C Guy, post: 278444, member: 13490"] [b]Wrong solution for a common problem.[/b] SAVE THAT MONEY FOR LATER! It is very unlikely that a thumbhole stock will help with your flinching problem. Thumbhole stocks are designed for shooting off a bench; when was the last time you saw a bench set up to hunt deer or hogs? The trigger upgrade will also not only NOT help with flinching, it will actually make you a worse shooter because you are already flinching, part of flinching involves jerking the trigger and a very light trigger will NOT teach you to squeeze properly. A light target trigger will teach you to jab because it really doesn't require any squeeze to release it. Ironically, heavy, harsh triggers actually teach proper trigger control better than light target triggers. The key to proper trigger release is steady pressure (increasing the pressure gradually) and not knowing when it will release. Then there is the follow through of the trigger pull, which a light aftermarket trigger will not help in that area either. Invest in more trigger time. If you are serious about improving, take that $600 and buy a used 22 and a few thousand rounds of .22 ammo and practice, practice, practice. The second best advice for you is: Attend an Appleseed event and they will teach you proper trigger control, sight picture, how to shoot like a man standing on your back legs, how to shoot siting, kneeling, prone and most importantly, proper use of a sling. All for about $40 for 1 day (Sat.) or $70 for 2 days (Sat & Sun) [/QUOTE]
