Mike,

My advice is to fire the front trigger first, just as is normal. Changing your routine is a mistake. All your moves must be subconscious and without thought.

The key is to place your finger on the trigger up to the first knuckle. You are not shooting a match bolt rifle. Forget what you have learned about just placing the tip of your finger on the trigger. If you just place the tip of your finger on the front trigger, your finger may slip off during recoil and come back to tap the rear. Kinda like playing harp strings!

If this should happen, it's not the end of the world. I have doubled my .500 NE and lived to tell about it.

Practice is what you want. Practice a lot. The more you shoot the rifle, the more familiar it becomes.

Good luck,

Curl
