I've read a few posts here where you guys mention getting "trigger finger" while shooting and I'm curious what that means/entails. The reason I ask I that I had a minor issue about an hour ago while shooting. I stepped outside and was about halfway through my sequence and upon release had a "pop" at the last knuckle on the middle finger of my string had. Thought nothing of it until I drew again and there is this sharp pain right in that joint. I can bend it but it's painful to do so. I stopped shooting and took some Advil and have put some tape on the joint to hold it still but it's getting more painful. I'm wondering if it's a failure on my part in form as if I'm holding too much of the draw on that finger. (using a tab) When you folks draw do you use all three fingers equally or do you place more emphasis on one or two other fingers. I intentionally left my weekend wide open to shoot as much as possible since my wife and daughter are out in West Virginia with family, I didn't have enough leave saved up to join them for two weeks.
Help with the injury and how to fix it quickly? I'd considered using mole skin in my tab to cushion my middle finger but fear it will throw my release off and I'm just now, after almost 10 months of this, getting things set in my mind for consistency.
