Ez pull Trigger

[SwampCat]

Is there anyone out there that has been using a EZ pull trigger? I came across this site http://ezpulltriggerassist.com/ and at first thought it was a little bit of nonsense but the more I looked at it and thought about it I realize I probably have a little involuntary flinch:gun_bandana: just as I'm pulling the trigger.

Looks a little "gimmicky" to me. The best way to correct a heavy, creepy trigger or one with lots of backlash or all of the above (most American rifles have crappy triggers from the factory, liabilty issues) is take it to a competent gunsmith and have them fix it for you, either by replacing the trigger assembly or by repairing the factory trigger.

Another gimmick....yes.Another million dollars....yes.(well maybe not a million)

Invent anything new that "might" work in the hunting/fishing industrie and introduce it to the good ole US of A and you've got yourselves a lotta extra cash to play with.

I think alot of Canadians fall for the same gimmicks.

If you don't like your trigger get it adjusted or changed by a competent gunsmith if you're not comfortable doing it yourself. I think it is worth it.

A trigger job will certainly help to a degree but your flinch is more likely in anticipation of the shot itself. Even if you don't go to a smith, spend time with some snap-caps or EMPTY cartridges and do some dry fire exercises. Concentrate on your trigger pull maintain a constant sight picture until after the hammer falls. Once you have mastered that, head to the range and live ammo. You will quickly find your groups are tighter and the flinch will start to disappear.

I used to have a bad flinch, one way to correct it is to go to the range with a buddy, and have him load your gun for you.Every once in awhile without you knowing get him to load a dry shell. You will notice the first few times you pull the shot withoutout a live round.After awhile the jerking of the finger or pulling motion goes away.

Shoot with a 22 instead of a hard kicker, better practice and a lot cheaper. Experts agree that this is one of the most effective ways to evercome a flinch. I routinely shoot large magnums (416 Rigby, 378 Weatherby) and have to park them every so often and break out the small guns as eventually the flinching will start.

If it lightens the trigger pull through leverage, its going to increase travel and creep, which I don't think you want either.

As mentioned, a competent gunsmith can lighten most triggers. Many companies like Timney make aftermarket triggers that are safer and easier to adjust to low poundage.

If you have a flinch, I would make sure that all practice is done with more padding on your shoulder, like a passt recoil pad, maybe add a better pad to the end of the gun, wear better ear muffs and possibly wear ear plugs under the muffs. I think a flinch is more likely shooting off the bench. Out in the field your out in the open and your attention is focused on the game and you don't hear or feel a thing. I think you need to make sure your practice time is as comfortable as possible. If shooting from a bench, sit more upright, not leaning into the gun, as that lessens the recoil. Put the seat lower or gun higher on the bench.


Most of all, try to relax. You are completely safe, just apply smooth steadily building pressure to the trigger and hold the gun in a relaxed grip while you focus on the center of the target. Your natural instincts will keep the sights on that spot. Kinda like Luke Skywalker using the force.

I agree with GrizzlyPeg when I actually have my sights on a deer I probably don't flinch because I have never missed a deer yet in the last 12 years of hunting except for my muzzleloader delay in firing by 2-3 seconds. but when I target practice I find myself to flinch a little every time I pull the trigger. I get a 4.5" radius grouping at 250 yards with my .270 Browning, or is there a possibility of the bullets not being accurate enough. I usually use the Hornady 135 grain.
AND I'm taking my gun in to have the trigger adjusted. any gunsmith you guys recommend. I'm from the Arborg Area. So someone in the Interlake Area would be great.

There's a guy in St. Andrews that SIR uses, he's really good but I can't think of his name. If you call the gun dept. at SIR they can probably help you.

That would be Genes Gunsmithing, 204-757-4413, He is by far the best.:gun_bandana:

Genes has done good work for me in the past. Jim Schelenberg in Mitchel has also done good work for me.

I'm bringing mine to Jim in Mitchell. Bringing my Model 700 down to 3 lbs. even. Jim quoted me $20 and told me to drop it off, go do some shopping, and then it will be ready to pick up. Can't go wrong with that!
