kontaktlängd

Kontaktlängd is a Swedish term that translates to "contact length" or "length of contact." It is primarily used in the context of sports, particularly in shooting sports and ice hockey. In shooting, kontaktlängd refers to the duration of contact between the firearm's trigger and the shooter's finger during the firing process. A shorter kontaktlängd is often desirable, as it implies a faster and more efficient trigger pull, which can be crucial for accuracy and speed in competitive shooting. Factors influencing kontaktlängd include the trigger mechanism design, the shooter's technique, and the type of firearm.

In ice hockey, the term kontaktlängd can refer to the duration of physical contact between players. This could involve body checks, stick checks, or battles for the puck along the boards. A longer or more sustained kontaktlängd in these situations might indicate a more dominant or effective play by one of the players involved, or conversely, a struggle where neither player can gain a decisive advantage. The context in which "kontaktlängd" is used is essential for understanding its precise meaning.
