Trigger setup debate

[dr.strangelove]

Joe Bob,

Buy a utility spring kit from your local hardware store and find one you like, or find a nice "click pen" spring and use that.

In answer to the burning question, I've got my trigger set as short as I could possibly get it. It's less than 1mm and light as heck. If you smacked the gripframe in "live" it'd probably shoot. I've got both my angels like that. I just bought a hinge for my backup 'cocker, but the slide trigger that I had on there before was as short, smooth and light as they come, I can actually shoot faster with it than I can with my friend's hinge (but his hinge is setup LOOONNNGG) I like very sensitive, very short, highly reactive trigger setup.

Mouse click light, for those who don't have a mouse (how the hell did you get on this forum without one!) Tiny amount of pre travel, hardley any post and the spring might as well not be there. That on an I-Frame I can get 14.7 Bps in non vision.

re

got my X-mag set up sooo light that if a strong gust of wind passes it it 'll fire.

at the indoor this year the chrony judge shot 3 people in the back of the head with me gun cos its sooo sensitive. oops!

I heard a bout a guy who had a super light trigger, he would take a step...POWPOW!
it think it would be funny to see a guy shoot himself in his foot

I prefer definately short trigger pull i have a impulse without vision but i have a i frame which increses the speed the gun can be fired drasticallly, oh it looks wicked as well!!!

It is Some guy at our field borrowed a timmy, and shot himself in the foot in the start box, delayed the game about 5 minutes. Was funny as heck to watch

A subject near to my heart

Well, I normally like my trigger very short and activated at the beginning of the travel but occasionally it sticks...and also, when I hit the ground, I'm careful to point my gun forward 'cause the shock does cause it to shoot. It was actually funny this past weekend, I dropped into the diamond and came out and I think I fired 'cause my elbow hit the ground hard as I peeked and a single ball came out, then I shot a couple more, but that single ball hit the back corner in front of me then I leaned a little more and got the guy in front of him...he didn't even know I was there...I was of course amused, I kinda looked at him and he just kept shooting my old bunker so I smiled as I pulled the trigger LOL.
But after I mentioned to a 'timmy tech about my occasional sticking (the switch would be closed so sometimes it wouldn't let the gun boot up...while spectating, my gun took a hit directly to the trigger area) he said to move the activation point back more (make the trigger travel longer but keep the back travel very short) and I remember watching his boss do the very same thing to his own gun a few weeks earlier so now my trigger travels maybe 2 or 3 mm before firing. We'll see how I like it with paint coming out. This is with a flat trigger. I think I can shoot a tiny bit faster with a flat trigger that's angled forward more. I put one in on a friends gun this week and it's awesome (the Bob Long flame trigger...I don't think he's making any more of those, though).
