Thank you for making this video. Your video is the only video on youtube that test the trigger pull weight of this trigger. For sure gonna get this trigger, no wonder why my standard trigger feels like almost non shootable, 9 lbs is a lot for the trigger pull.
In Sept, 2024 the Tuning Trigger sells for $25 USD. Way too expensice for 2 plastic pieces and a spring. But then again . . . Thanks for all your videos
Thanks for this video. I fitted a 90 ib limb on my compact but found the extra trigger resistance does effect accuracy, i think a trigger upgrade may resolve that.
For anyone who wants to see the trigger being upgraded, steambow has a step by step how to on their channel along with every other installation process video (Yt is stupid for applying firearm guidelines to a xbow vid, buncha droolers)
This kind of depends on your hand/finger strength, I would say. I find the standard trigger fine at 55 lb in general, but the tuning trigger is still nicer and allows for cleaner trigger breaks. I would say especially with the lower stability that the Compact affords without a buttstock. If you have the budget, I would say go for it, but you can get good service out of the standard trigger if you don't have the budget now.
@@ericgraham3493Thank you for the feedback. It's not an expensive upgrade, so I'll go for it. cutting the trigger pull for almost half the weight can probably contribute for better accuracy.
I got one for mine, simply because if you want to build your initial compact with a quick change frame, a la carte, the upgraded trigger is the only one available as far as i could see
Interesting review! What about the trigger travel? It should be longer because of the construction and the physics behind. Is there a break anyway? In Germany we say the trigger is crawling, if there is no break after the wall.
Thanks! I measure the total trigger travel at 7.6 mm / .2995" on the standard trigger and 9.41 mm / .3075" on the tuning trigger. Both triggers have a couple of millimeters of play almost like a two-stage trigger until the mechanism contacts the string, then it is all creeping (kriechen) until the string is lifted sufficiently out of the notch. The only "break" in any sense is when the string is released.
@@fletchedevolution thanks for these informations! That sounds good that the saved power not completely stands in relation with the travel of the trigger!
Any idea on how the new trigger affects accuracy? Are the groups any better? I'm not just referring to the easier pull, but whether the string is more consistently let off since the angle is flat when pushing the string "over the ledge". It'd be interesting to know. I'm glad to see these product improvements.
I have been shooting mostly the new trigger, but now just shot for about an hour side by side, switching back and forth between new and standard with 55 lbs limbs. My accuracy with the tuning trigger is definitely better, I can feel and also see the string lifting steadily out of the latch with the same force required across the pull. Very consistent and easier to predict how the bow will act when the string goes over the ledge. Comparing directly, the standard trigger makes the string progressively harder to lift, so I am now sure there is pinching, and I have more varying movement with the bow once the string does release.

Thank you for your comment! I figured just saying "it feels better and lighter" would not help anyone at the end of the day :-D

I tried the 120lb Magnum limb is very hard to pull on. So I just ordered the tunning trigger, I also ordered the Upper M10 Magazine.

Awesome trigger mod!
Indeed, brilliant solution!
Will the teeth on the trigger gears wear out or break by them being polymer?😮
No problems for me so far even with many, many shots at 150 lb
@@fletchedevolution ok Thanks

Hi Erik, do you think that the geared trigger is justified for a Stinger II Compact upgraded to 55lbs limbs? Cheers
