I've done numerous trigger jobs on guns. This is unlikely to be fixed by shooting. I have to take up the slack in the trigger before it starts to disengage. After that the pull isn't smooth with several ragged spots before it releases. The release point is a measured 3.5 lbs, that's less a issue tha...

Trigger pull/Equinox
I find the trigger on my new Equinox annoying at best. It is ragged (jerky) until releasing at 3.5 lbs, with a relatively long take-up. It also has considerabel creep before even starting the release. The latter I've compensated for by taking up the slack (WITH THE SAFETY ON) prior to starting the t...

Lately there has been a trend toward lighter factory and safer triggers (on rifles). Savage produces their Acu Trigger which has a special block that prevents the trigger from releasing until it's depressed, making the release itself much lighter. Ruger just announced a new adjustable trigger. Even ...

My new Equinox trigger is not noteworthy either. Way too much travel and hesitation. I can shoot it but have to concentrate hard tp prevent jerking. The trigger on my Parker Terminator, by comparison, is smooth and has short takeup more like that of my firearms. It's the only thing that detracts fro...

I shoot and Equinox and a Parker Terminator. The Terminator is 150 lb draw but generates 320 fps, the Equinox is 225 draw to get 350. IMO the extra 30 fps just isn't worth it. Equinox is accurate and simple but louder, much harder to cock and, being wider, not as well balanced or handy in tight plac...

Last time it happened,[b] I moved on the turkey[/b]. Sneaked real slow (took me about 45 minutes to walk 200 yards), I stayed just behind the crest of a hill, stopped often and made like a hen while doing so. When I got within 100 yards of where I last heard the gobble, I set up and stopped calling ...
