hope im putting this in the right place ok i am in a wheelchair and im looking for something to go on my trigger to pull to fire my gun my dad just made me a thing to go on my wheelchair to hold my gun i tried pulling the trigger with my thumb but its to hard i was hopeing i could find some one to make me something or might be something out there for me to use or any ideas sure would help thanks
 
I hunt with a guy that has to suck on a straw looking thing to squeeze the trigger as he cannot move his hands. I don’t know exactly how it works or where he got it. But if no one has an answer that helps you, I can call him and see he uses. He can also fire his crossbow using the same mechanism.
 
Well, I hate to sound a little redundant, but how about local machine shops? A lot of these guys love challenges and have the skills to safely take on a job like this. Along this same line you might consider local Technical Colleges or even High School machine shops.
 
yea i been looking for a machine shop but nearest one is hour away was hoping to made find one on the net thatdoes lil stuff
 
Try a camera store. The sell flexible cables releases in many different lengths so you could attach the one end to the trigger guard with the plunger contacting the trigger & route the flex cable to where it is comfortable for you to work it.
 
Are you looking to push or pull with your thumb, or use a shrug of the shoulder or other body part? I work with OTs and rehab engineers and have seen it all, but I'm not a tech expert myself. I'm on the counseling/job services end of it. Anyway, I tried searching google with 'handicapped rifle shooting' and got a lot of results, some that apply and some that don't seem to.

Here are two ideas.

Have you considered contacting the USA Shooting Team, NRA or US Paralympics? These organizations might be able to steer you in the right direction.
