Sounds like a great shooting system you have there.

Somehow??? i am having a hard time thinking you are enjoying shooting an inline. I have always considered you the ultimate Sidehammer shooter...

For myself a 2# trigger pull is way to light in the hunting situation... shoot my gloved fingered might set that off getting on the trigger.

I am with you, #2 is great for a dedicated range rifle , i prefer #3-3 1/2.

Love the 2lb trigger for field shooting. I wear mittens with a flip cover that exposes your fingers when you need use of them. Shooting with a glove on isnt the greatest for accuracy as its hard to feel even a 3-4lb trigger.

Maybe for you that might be a problem but for us folks that live and hunt in the type of weather I am talking about... you adapt! you know that thing... that man has a greater capacity to do than any other animal....

So.... not if you spend some time shooting as if you were hunting.... Practice at something usually results in a better ability to do the difficult. If all you can do is the easy stuff - ah! never mind you would not understand.

I don't wear gloves,switched to the type of mittens that you simply pull off your fingers when it's time to shoot and they velcro on top of your wrist. i can't deal with anything on my trigger finger when shooting.plus mittens are a lot warmer to me than gloves.
