    Keep working at it, I have struggled off an on over the years and this past winter I got a STAN Perfex and love it. It has helped tremendously. It doesn't fix all but I am shooting the best that I have in a long time. Good luck.

    The resistance release takes some getting used to, but, as you found out, it can be touchy. I've struggled a bit with pulling too hard into the back wall and the release going off when I let the safety up. It doesn't happen often, but every once in a while. When that thought gets stuck in your head, it's hard to get out. That's part of the reason I haven't had the courage to hunt with it yet. I'm shooting the PerfX thumb button for hunting.

    I still use the resistance release for training - blank bailing and shooting targets. It helps a lot with my form and follow-through, and keeps me from slipping back into some of my bad habits. You may want to up the resistance on yours a bit to help with some of that accidental firing.

    As someone who has struggled with target panic for the better part of a decade, the one thing I've learned that's helped me the most is that there isn't a product on the market that is going to fix it. Many of us believe that a release is going to cure what ails us. However, the truth is, the only thing that can cure target panic is the shooter.

    Interesting. Just be careful if he wants to start betting on your scores.
