FYI- TriggerTech price

Post by racking up points »

I ordered a Matrix 2-stage from one of the forum's favourite vendors today and was surprised to find the price increased by almost $25. I bought one from the same vendor 8 weeks ago and assumed that the price would be the same...it wasn't. Apparently a decision came down that forced the price increase. I guess all vendors now have to sell closer to the MSRP. :?

Well I am happy with what Excalibur put in their crossbows and if I aimed at the same spot I would be Robin hooding all the time so I don't think it would help me out unless I was 3D shooting or shooting for distance but I am a hunter and for that reason I don't feel the need to have one, Plus they were to high for me to start with. Not trying to be negative its just my opinion.

What might be a bad trigger for some is really a good trigger for others, were shooting xbows under a 100yds for most here, I've got 4 different triggers, Boo trig, Danny Miller trig, Trigger tech trig and a couple excal triggers, 4 different bows 4 different triggers I hit the same hole, just have to figure your trigger out.

The price on the triggers was raised because they could.

I bought a blackout 330 that came with a trigger tech installed.
I just couldn't live with the stock trigger on my 380.
So I ordered one for it.:)

I have to disagree this some of you here. I think that the current price is not outrageous. Let's face it good archery equipment, like equipment in other sports, is expensive. Take a look at the prices for Carter releases that compound shooters use. All at or close to $200.00 and have much less parts than the TriggerTech. The cost of everything has gone up and manufacturers have to pass those costs to us. Still a great trigger and many have said so here and elsewhere. The extra $20-$25 won't change that fact.

I also thought the TT triggers were crazy expensive. Then I tried one & realized what I had been missing all along. I now have 2 TT triggers & would not hunt with-out one!!

I would imagine with all the costs of developing and producing the TT trigger, that the asking price is more than fair. Perhaps the costs of materials has risen? Maybe demand is more then supply?

I have bought something from TT, but it was just a small item. I guess their website was giving them problems and my order didn't go thru to shipping. My dealings with the guys there went very well and they corrected the problem very quickly. My item was shipped and I received it the next day. To keep me happy I think they likely lost whatever small profit they were going to make on the part to the shipping costs.

For a demanding shooter its awesome that there is this resource for those not afraid to spend some extra money to get their bow shooting just the way they want. I don't have much of a disposable income at the moment so I don't own one yet but I likely will at some point. For those of ya like me, Don does a great job of improving the factory trigger feel at a very reasonable price. A factory trigger feels pretty good but once ya try a better one you wonder how you shot a factory trigger :wink:

I'm sure they are great, hence the following! I have owned three Excalibur's, and plan on the fourth soon. All have had triggers that would provide the accuracy I demand. I am sure that the T.T. is an upgrade, but the price increase is keeping me away. Could this be driven by the recent trigger issues with the 405?? :shock:
