[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1062678, member: 30902"] You're probably creating a little torsion by trying to "pull it in tight". You can also cause the butt of the rifle to kick down and a little out by doing the same. Set everything up the same BUT, Don't grip the stock at all with your trigger hand and simply put your thumb on the triggerguard and squeeze and see what kind of reaction you get. Also be sure that you are only using the last joint of your trigger finger to apply pressure to the trigger. I see a lot of guys really jamming their TF in there and "pulling" the trigger with the second joint or even fold between the 2nd and third segments. This very much can create torque. If you imagine making a "C" with your thumb and forefinger and pressing your forefinger into your thumb that is the correct application of the finger in the trigger. We use the term "pull the trigger" but in truth the proper action is to "press" the trigger. Another way to think of it is to use your thumb and forefinger to make a chicken's head when you were a kid doing shadow figures against a wall. To quote an old instructor of mine "Less finger in the hole equals better trigger control". [/QUOTE]
