[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 568970, member: 3745"] Thanks for starting a good thread Wild Rose. Using the laser as you described is a great way to get visual feedback on your trigger control. My Daughter is becoming a rather serious small bore and air rifle competitor, as a result I recently discovered (and purchased) a great training tool. It is called a SCATT system. Much like your laser idea, an invisible beam laser is mounted on your gun or even bow. An aiming device is placed downrange, both are connected to an interface module that connects to a PC. As you aim, the computer draws a trace of your barrel movement on the screen. When you (dry) fire the device picks up the "click" and fires a dot on the computer screen. The trace changes colors in the last few tenths of a second before the shot and after the shot for follow through. The trace for each "shot" is stored in the computer for analysis. If you have the least little bit of a flinch or are twisting or otherwise moving the rifle during your trigger it will show up on the screen. These systems are not cheap at around $1400 but they are an awesome analysis tool. You can dry fire while looking through the scope and think you are rock steady. This device will tell a far different story. We all think we are holding steady, WRONG, and this device will prove it. As the old saying goes, you can't fix what you don't know.... You can actually do live fire with the system as well by "aiming" the laser at a different place than your actual point of aim. This will allow you to see if you are tensing up or flinching during live fire when you might not during dry fire. I will do a full write up on this system soon, but anyone interested can just google SCATT shooter training systems. [/QUOTE]
