If you don't have a trigger pull scale there's an easy way to get an approximate weight. It's a two person job. Connect a gallon jug to your trigger with a loop of string and have someone slowly fill the jug with water until the trigger breaks - then weigh the jug.

I use my digital fish weigh scale/measure tape.. I attach that to the trigger and pull backward until the trigger breaks, then note the weight it took to break it.
