A long time ago, when I was in my early 20s, my brother and I were out in the mountains trying

to help a young family that needed meat by bringing home a spike yolk.

We grew up in an area that was either a draw tag for a big bull elk or you could

buy over-the-counter tags for spike bulls. And I was laying on a little knob 420 yards from a little herd of elk filtering through a fringe of

quake and Aspen and there were several cows I knew there was probably a bull at the back, and I had a round

chambered the safety on, and I was shooting a really accurate 270 equipped with a timney trigger.

Now my brother's rifle at the time was a

1903 Springfield that had been sporter-ice had a good barrel on it,

very accurate, but I had that original Springfield trigger in it,

and it was heavy and

unknown to me at the same time he was

oh at an angle probably a 30 degree angle from me and he could see the bull with that group.

And he had pressure on the trigger but he wasn't real steady. He was trying to get a clean shot

off that bull paused just for second. He didn't get the trigger to break. The bull walked on

over the hill and neither of us saw it ever again. And when we met up as it got dark

he said, I'm going to buy a Timney because he'd shot my rifle and he knew what a difference it made and he said

I had my crosshairs glued to a bull but I wasn't

super steady and I couldn't time it and I just couldn't get that trigger to break

when I needed it to I'm gonna get a Timney and sure enough that very week he

ordered and got a timney trigger in the mail and we installed it in his

rifle and he went on to hunt with that gun for years to come and shot a lot of big bucks

and bulls with it. So kind of a cool example, real world example of how big a difference
