After a shot, the trigger does not need to travel all the way forward again. As you ease your finger off, it passes a point where the mechanism re-engages with a small, distinct click. That point is the reset, and it sits much closer to the break than the trigger's full forward travel. Working from the reset means letting the finger out just to that click and no further, then pressing the next shot from there. It removes the wasted motion of slapping the trigger fully forward and slamming it back, which costs both speed and accuracy. You learn it by feel: press a shot, ride the trigger out slowly until you catch the click, and start the next press from exactly that spot. The reset is easiest to groove in dry fire, where you can run it slowly and deliberately without recoil hiding the feel. It pairs directly with trigger control: a clean press and a short, precise reset are what let you run consecutive shots quickly without the hand disturbing the sights.
Concept
Reset
The reset is the short click you feel as you let the trigger out after a shot, the point where it re-engages and is ready to fire again. Running each shot from the reset, instead of releasing the trigger fully, keeps a string tight and controlled.
