[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1206977, member: 50867"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT] Sorry guys, I can't let go of this one. I've investigated more firearms accidental discharge cases than I care to remember, have taught firearms safety for two decades and trained a lot of hunters and competition shooters. I've already pointed out my opinion on the light weight trigger for hunting, perhaps these two articles will offer sage advice worthy of your attention.

Nothing personal, but these forums are frequented by new shooters and I'd hate for one of them to leave here with the idea that its cool to shoot with light weight triggers. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
