Default RE: stupid stupid mistake!!!

...swinging my gun and setting my hair trigger...i picked out the biggest and was starting t oget my gun in her direction when KABOM...the gun went off....while trying to move i bumped the hair trigger and off it went...stupid mistake....i learned my lesson...
Did the same thing about 10 years ago...set the trigger on a TC Hawken, and slipped a gloved finger into the trigger while bringing the rifle up...scared me more than the buck who then proceeded to haul a$$ into the next county...never used a set trigger for hunting in cold weather since...only use it for precise target work the rest of the year.

So I pulled all my TC Hawken locks, and using a dremel wheel, polished the sear tip and tumbler notch until I got the front triggers down to a nice smooth 3 lbs pull...strong enough not to be bothered by a gloved finger and still a good, easy, accurate trigger for hunting
