What are some ways to get your trigger fingers moving faster besides practicing (I already do that).

I'm not exactly understanding your question. Are you asking ways to help you shoot faster like walking and fanning, or what?

PLay videogames that require you to push a button really fast. Or do finger pushups.

Play PS2 with games that require your index finger and middle finger to move, like Tony Hawks Pro Skater games.

Mod, delete thread. It's pointless. I just wanted some suggestions to speed walking.

Rubber bands around the fingers; practice while you watch tv. Then go back to the trigger. After a few months you'll notice an improvement.
Also make sure your trigger is set up as you like it.

the rubber band works very well, your fingers start getting pretty strong after awhile.
Its good to try it on your non regular shooting hand, make it so you can shoot fast using either hand.

A little harsh are we. J/K , yeah just practice with a pencil or something. seems to be very sloppy and feels good to me.

Well, my left hand is about 3+ bps faster than my right ( I play guitar ) and I want to get my right hand caught up with it.

My right hand is faster because of guitar.
I'm a lefty.

rubber bands work wonders

good advice but seriously just put a rubberband around each hands index and middle and watch TV. Do them both at the sam time so that one doesnt get stronger than the other.

If you have a bass or a guitar, just sit there and walk the strings. It helps me. When I play guitar, just fiddling around, I walk the string and the fret board. It helps your finger's speed on both hands.

I just walk my pencil a lot during school that seems to help. I do 15-16 bps consistently with my right and about 11-12 with my left

I do the same thing but get consistant 16-17 with right hand and only 10-11 with left. Also walk erasers, desk, book, binder, person infront of me, paper, and anything that makes a sound.
The pencil however can be set like a trigger to tap the desk. It annoys everyone around me, and I love it. My teacher gets annoy with a rapid clicking noise also. Thats the best part.

Darn tootin! its fun to irritate people, i always do it with mechanical pencils i think its easier just cuz they're lighter

Now I want to tape two of those clicky pens together and start walking that, not only would it be good practice, but annoying as hell to boot!

I thought they sold some kind of finger weight. I remember the slogan "Get the ladies or your money back" or something stupid. Or you could tape a bunch of fishing weights to your fingers. In class, use 4 clicky pens, two in each hand, and hammer with those. I got yelled at a ton when I did that. But it was fun watching my teacher ( this giant fat guy)'s chins wobble when he hollered out my name.

An excellent suggestion, now just try and find two girls willing to be your paintball practice toy.
I shall now take this as my life crusade.

Sounds like you broke your arm Ben.
I was pretty much ambidextrus after i got my cast taken off, but then my right hand became the dominant one and now lefty is weak.

Women are like voltron, the more you get to hook up, the better it gets.
I use a rock climbers grip excercizer. Works like the rubber bands, just a little more sophisticated.
here is a way to see how fast you can click.

my personal best is 84, so thats 8.4 clicks a second.

Nope, 2 of my knuckles. I cant wait to paintball with the cast, work on my left handed shooting.

as long as he's not in a softcast and doesnt do something dumb like fall on it, he'll be fine.

HA! Cats tummy<< I laughed so hard when I saw that.
Yeah, I walk all the time, infact I walk my mouse and my space bar when I'm on the computer. In typing class I just about got kicked out for it, instead I got a screaming...
