Small Hands?
3 Attachment(s)
A hundred years ago did Parker shooters have smaller hands?
I've been trying to shoot a little more to practice up for the Southern and have done a little damage to my right hand. Img 1 - When I fire the second trigger the recoil begins to shave off skin just below the nail. Img 2 - Recoil bounces trigger guard against middle finger. Now quite swollen. Img 3 - to solve this I have to wrap pinky around pistol grip to move hand back. Am I doing something wrong ? Have gone through a number of bandaids! Thanks |
try lighter loads?

That could get a fella into a terrible flinching habit ! Just the thought of what's coming would cause me to jerk the trigger ! Hope you can figure out a way to correct it ! Years ago learning to shoot a recurve bow ,the string kept hitting my left arm to the point that six inches of my forearm would turn black and blue from it ,it gave me a severe dose of target panic it took me years to get over !!!

Clark;
You might want to try wearing a pair of golf or batting gloves along with the lighter loads. Does the gun stay on your shoulder or flip up under recoil? |
Target Panic is right!
About to fire, close eyes, lift head, pull trigger, check to see if still bandaid came off. Wonder if I hit they clay. I've tried gloves but haven't found any yet that seem to fit right. I told my wife the solution might be to shop for single trigger Parkers. You know how that went over :) |
I believe the best argument with her majesty might be it’s a medical necessity…. I’m sure we have a number of M.D.’s in the membership that would be willing to write you a script…..

They make a little rubber attachment that fits behind the trigger guard that will cushion the middle finger. That might help. As to gloves; I wear thegunglove.com. And I cut the trigger finger off at the middle knuckle. Best shooting gloves I’ve found. Summer weight.

We switched over to buying Golf gloves for a single hand as needed. We learned to try on several brands and see which one actually fits , one brand "Large" is smaller or just right as we've found. And you can buy just the one hand you need. I love using a Left only glove for my Splinter forearm guns. And a Right only when hunting.
l"Dicks Sporting Goods" has been our go-to for golf gloves for years, both for shooting and our Archery needs... Found out if I used a Left only glove for my Bow hand ,my groups shrunk considerably. I'm right-handed in both sports. Mattly |

But she’d get a kick out of seeing a script for me for “PGPT” Parker gun purchase therapy |
