Those of you shooting red dots

Are you squeezing the trigger like a deer rifle or are you just letting her fly when the dot is on the mark?

I've had trigger jobs done on all my turkey guns. Red dot where I want it, squeeze it like a rifle...

When sighting I squeeze slowly enough for the gun to take me by surprise.  In the field, I squeeze thru when I want to send it.  The secret to field shooting is to train the brain and hand to isolate the index finger and move it alone in a smooth motion without moving the other muscles of the hand.  This like most any trained skill is learned thru repetition to create muscle memory.

^^^ This.
I love golf.  It keeps a lot of people out of the turkey woods.

Prefer to squeeze; have snap shot.  Same result.

My girls both use a red dot. With them the squeeze can take too long and allow birds to move as they shoot. I have them apply pressure just before the shot and deliberately "break" the trigger when I say to. They are very young and have been very successful doing it that way. It's basically the same way I do with rifle sights on birds. If they are in your lap, aim small..miss small.

Red dots, scopes, or open sights, squeeze just like shooting a rifle.
