Small Hands?

[Clark McCombe]

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

She’s a surgeon and has patched me up
But she’d get a kick out of seeing a script for me for “PGPT”
