John, are you sending Phillips a Parker SBT?

Here we are 4 months later on the subject of a release trigger in my SBT gun. I just got it back from Phillips Gunsmithing without a release trigger. Seems this gun, S/N 235555, has a different Parker trigger assembly than what he is familiar with. Trying several avenues of effort, Phillips was not able to install a release trigger that he felt was as reliable as I would want. He was up in Arkansas - and looked at a SBT with a release in the same trigger configuration - that he thought would help him with my gun. After time had passed, Phillip was not satisfied with the result, so . . . C'est la vie.

Huh... I don't think there was any variation in SBT trigger mechanisms over the course of production of the model.

According to Phillip Crenwelge, (I am hazy on exactly what part is different) the trigger part where he would do the release install is angled upward, where all the others he has done is a straight. I'm just the piano player here.

My guess is that he has never worked on a Parker single.

That's a possibility, Guillermo. I will take up the lantern of Diogenes and begin a search. If there's a navigator in the crew, perhaps this can be a rewarding experience.

Think I shot 6-12 feet over the bird when I "released" the trigger . That was one of the most unnatural feeling things I had ever done with a gun !
For one that flinches, be it every shot or once or twice a round it is VERY frustrating, it took me maybe 3 rounds to get used to it, and maybe another 2-3 rounds when I went from release /pull, to release /release for dubs. feels so natural now...every once in a while I'll pull out my Citori XT, with Pull triggers, yup the flinch is still hiding in there....

It seems that trapshooters are the ones most often afflicted with the flinches. Any guesses as to why that is? Intuitively, with a trap gun's higher stock, there should be less tendency for the gun to rotate up and hit your cheek.

Trapshooters probably shoot more shots in a day or a season than most other clay shooters. (300 is typical) I don't think the flinch is from gun fit, just repetition and maybe recoil.....or in my case a crappy trigger in an old 1100.
