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.

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.

Default Trap Shooters

Trap shooter are a different bred, I collected SBT for many years and was constantly surprised by the modifications, improvements and abuse they apply to their firearms.
I've thought about writing an article about their abuse for years and it probably would be listed under fiction has collectors wouldn't believe it!!!

PS: extremely high condition Sousa with ported barrels, first years production LC Smith with butt stock modified so a ugly pierce of pine could be added to raise the comb.

PS: I love shooting Wobble and Bunker Trap but you can modify a piece of history without destroying the firearm and still achieve high scores.
