Improve Your Shooting Accuracy by 29% in Just 10 Minutes
The Struggle for Better Accuracy with Your Rifle
You want to improve your shooting accuracy. Tighter groupings, quicker follow-up shots, and more consistent performance—it’s what every shooter strives for. But if you’re like most people, you think better accuracy means spending hours at the range or investing in expensive upgrades.
Training is always valuable, but here’s the truth: you can drastically improve your shooting accuracy with a 10-minute change—and you don’t need special skills, range access, or even much effort.
That’s right. With one simple upgrade, you can achieve
- 29% tighter groupings.
- 33% faster follow-up shots.
- 4.5x more “great shots.”
Sound too good to be true? We get it. That’s why we designed a controlled test to prove just how much of a difference this change can make.
The Secret to Better Accuracy: Your Trigger
Most shooters don’t realize how much their trigger impacts their accuracy. A standard milspec trigger often feels gritty and inconsistent, and it takes a lot of pull for it to fire. This can cause unnecessary movement, throw off your aim, and make quick follow-up shots more difficult.
A better trigger doesn’t just feel smoother—it directly improves your shooting by eliminating these issues.
To prove it, we tested the Rave 140, RISE’s entry-level drop-in trigger, against a standard milspec trigger. Here’s what happened.
The Test: Discovering the Rave 140 Difference
A controlled, unbiased test measured the true impact of upgrading to RISE’s Rave 140 trigger.
Here’s the setup:
- Blind Setup: Shooters tested two nearly identical AR-15 rifles—the only difference was one had a standard milspec trigger and the other had a Rave 140 trigger. The shooters weren’t told what was different, so their focus stayed on their performance.
- Controlled Conditions: Testing was conducted indoors to remove outdoor variables like wind.
- Advanced Data Tracking: We used the Mantis Blackbeard system, a training tool that replaces your AR-15’s bolt carrier group. The Blackbeard tracks every shot with laser precision, measuring data accuracy, trigger pull efficiency, and follow-through.
This setup ensured that the results reflected the true difference between the triggers—not the shooter, environment, or ammunition.
The Results: Accuracy Transformed
When it comes to upgrading your shooting performance, the data from the test makes one thing clear: RISE’s Rave 140 trigger delivers measurable, significant improvements across the board. Here’s a breakdown of the results and what they mean for you:
→ 17% Average Accuracy Improvement
Participants consistently achieved better accuracy with the Rave 140. The average improvement in shot scores was 17%, with some shooters seeing gains as high as 29%. Even advanced shooters, who already had refined skills, saw a notable 14% increase in accuracy.
What This Means for You: Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, the Rave 140 helps you hit your target more consistently and with greater precision, taking your performance to the next level.
“It was much easier to pull and easier to stay on target with.”
– Brian, Accuracy Study Participant
→ 33% Faster Split Times
Speed doesn’t have to come at the expense of accuracy. With the Rave 140, participants reduced their split times (the interval between shots) by an average of 33%. While maintaining comparable accuracy, shooters were able to fire follow-up shots faster and with greater control compared to the milspec trigger.
What This Means for You: In dynamic shooting scenarios—whether on the range or in the field—you can stay on target and deliver faster, more reliable results.
“It was easier to keep where you were at and just go to the next shot. It had a continuation from the first shot to the second and third, whereas with the milspec, you had to find it again.”
– Juan, Accuracy Study Participant
→ 433% Reduction in Trigger Jerking
“Jerking the trigger” is a common issue that can throw off your aim and cause missed shots. With the milspec trigger, this error occurred 5.3 times more often than with the Rave 140. The smoother pull and crisp break of the Rave 140 helped shooters maintain control and avoid this mistake.
What This Means for You: A smoother, more predictable trigger pull reduces one of the most common causes of missed shots, helping you improve your shooting accuracy with confidence and precision.
“The reaction time was a lot faster—it’s crisp and doesn’t drag.”
– Scott, Accuracy Study Participant
→ 4.5x More “Great Shots”
The Mantis Blackbeard system analyzes each shot to identify potential issues like trigger jerking, poor follow-through, or improper finger placement. A “Great Shot” is one where no corrections are needed—it’s the ultimate indicator of a clean, precise shot. Shooters using the Rave 140 recorded 4.5 times more “Great Shots” than with the milspec trigger.
What This Means for You: The Rave 140 doesn’t just improve your results—it helps you achieve excellent execution more often, increasing both your accuracy, control, and confidence in your rifle.
“It had a shorter take-up and just a better feel. You could feel the shot breaking and then the good reset.”
– Roy, Accuracy Study Participant
→ Reduction in Common Shooting Errors
The Rave 140’s design minimizes several key errors that can hinder accuracy:
- Not Enough Trigger Finger: This issue was 50% more likely with milspec triggers, making it harder to maintain consistency. With the Rave 140, better blade shape and tactile feedback improves finger placement for a cleaner shot.
- Pulling with the Firing Hand: Participants improved this issue by 120%, highlighting the control offered by the Rave 140’s lighter pull weight. They were able to stay on target without accidentally pulling the rifle off-center during the shot.
- Poor Follow Through: While still shooter-dependent, this issue improved by 30% with the Rave 140. The smoother, more predictable action of the Rave 140 reduces disruptions during and after the trigger pull, helping you maintain accuracy shot after shot.
What This Means for You: By reducing common errors, the Rave 140 helps shooters at every skill level get better results with less frustration.
“The drift during the trigger pull was much less.”
– Mark, Accuracy Study Participant
What the Data Tells Us
These results aren’t hypothetical—they’re real improvements seen by shooters just like you. With the Rave 140, you can:
- Improve your shooting accuracy (up to 29% improvement).
- Fire faster follow-ups (33% better split times).
- Avoid common errors like jerking the trigger (a 433% reduction) for smoother, more controlled shots.
- Land more “Great Shots” and feel confident in every pull.
The best part? These numbers are just the beginning. The Rave 140 is RISE’s entry-level trigger, meaning higher-end models like the RA-535 Advanced-Performance Trigger and ICONIC by RISE deliver even greater performance.
A Little Upgrade for Big Results
Whether you’re a hunter, competitive shooter, or range enthusiast, precision matters. Every missed shot costs you time, ammo, confidence, and—let’s be honest—sometimes even bragging rights.
You don’t need hours of training or a gunsmith to improve your accuracy. With the Rave 140, you get:
- Consistent Accuracy: Tighter groupings mean more on-target hits.
- Faster Recovery: Spend less time adjusting between shots.
- Greater Control: A smooth, crisp trigger lets you focus on your aim, not your equipment.
You don’t have to settle for “good enough.” A simple RISE trigger upgrade can turn your rifle into a precision tool. The Rave 140 also delivers:
