does it help having a very short trigger pull or not? i am not very good the thread title but it does seem to be a very fast way of firing without fanning the trigger. can't work out whether short trigger pull is better or not though
walking the trigger?

Its really down to personal preferance, some find a little teavel helpfull for walking others find the shorter the better.
You got to find what works best for you!

get yourself a small rubber ball and when you are sat in front of the telly squeeze it with your trigger fingers...excersise your fingers basically!
isnt that taking it a little too far? i mean theres always more... pleasurable ways of improving your finger skills, if u know what i mean? eh? eh?
Happy training

What I've generally found to be a good setup for most people - although as Paul says it's always down to personal preference - is as a short trigger pull as you can get from the rest point to the firing point and then a longer pull of 1mm to 2mm - again personal preference - from the firing point to the trigger stop. The latter setting allows the trigger spring to provide a stronger return, which should help you achieve a faster rate of fire.
I see you have a Racegun - if you have an older version with the dome switch then you may find it harder to walk the trigger anyway. I've always found leaf microswitches and Hall (E-Mag) or optical (IR3) sensors easier to use since they generally require less force to activate. OK, it's a tiny difference and might just be me, but it makes it easier to just sort of tremble your fingers.
As far as learning how to do it, jhalad is right about the finger exercises, that really does help, plus you can also actually practice walking the trigger whilst watching TV - I would recommend watching England football matches and trying to shoot any English players, you'll be up to 20bps by the end of the match! A final tip, I found it easier to start learning the technique by holding the grip very loosely, hardly at all in fact, and then as my fingers got used to the rhythm and coordination required I gradually worked towards actually holding the grip thus giving a high ROF and a stable marker.
I used to walk the trigger and was starting to achieve decent sustained and smooth rates of fire, getting up to 16bps, but now I'm getting slower and slower for some reason so I've switched back to my vibrating middle finger method.
Anyway, hope that's been some help to you.

Thats what i do to, and can easily outshoot a revvyOriginally posted by Sinner

Walking the trigger is too hard
