pressure it will result in a shot. Two-stage triggers are used for maximum accuracy and precision. The force required to break is split into two cycles. First will serve us to prepare for the shot, and the se- cond will already be used to gently pull the trigger bow with a reduced risk of jerking. Two-stage triggers also have some disadvantages. In dynamic sho- oting scenarios, due to the longer reset of trigger, the trigger bow may stay in the second stage position if the index finger pressure won't be released. TriggerTech two-stage triggers are available with flat or rounded bows. Personally, I use a rounded trigger bow wherever I care about repeata- bility and precision. The rounded shape allows us to repetitively pla- ce the finger on the trigger always in the same place, and minimizes the risk of using too much pressure on the lower part of the bow, which can cause a broken shot. The flat trigger is commonly used during dynamic shooting scena- rios, where splits matter. Thanks to its flat shape, we can not only reset the trigger faster, but also, by pressing on its lower part and thus lengthening the lever, so to speak, reduce the force needed to break the trigger. On the other hand, the ability to work the finger across the trigger face does not give us repeatability and can often lead to a jerk. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that TriggerTech's flat trig- gers have an easily felt protrusion at the very end of the bow, which we can use as a finger stop for proper positioning. There are several rifles in my arse- nal, and one of them, the 16" Faxon Sentry, has a two-stage trigger with a flat trigger bow. With 1-10x LPVO I use it for my flagship Fast and Ac- curate classes.
