Please Help Me WALK!!!

[purplemag]

Ok, got my baby back from AGD with the 3.2 on it. Now I played trumpet for a good 8 years, and know my two fingers are plenty fast to be able to walk a trigger. So I think I need some advice on how to setup the trigger to walk it. Like a good combo of magnets in the stack, how many turns out for the trigger travel adjustment? Those two should be it, I can adjust the magnet in the trigger I think after the other two, but I need help!!! Please!!! Help me guys!!!

p.s. it is like the trigger is not coming back to the resting position fast enough (or maybe I am not moving my fingers far enough away???)

i had that problem, i could walk it plenty fast, but i felt i could do better.
right now i have 2 cocker 3way orings, and 1 magnet, and its a short crisp pull, and the trigger comes back quicker.
now i can really rip on it.

its not too strong, and not too loose

So is that everyones concensus with less magnets and maybe an oring or two? See I thought more magnets would snap it back faster? Might go try that tonight!
Anything else, c'mon guys I know some of you can absolutely rip!
Shot buffering setting?
Magnet Stack?
How much trigger travel?

[rikkter]

more magnets will make it snap back faster, however, it'll make it harder to push the trigger. i tried, 1 oring 1 magnet, and the trigger was too stiff for my taste.
my shot buffering is on 4

yeah that makes perfect sense now, I can move my fingers lightning speed but when moving that fast they aren't pressing hard enough on the trigger, especially the bottom finger/loop.

[rikkter]

well i like to hit the middle hump with pointer, and the lower end with my middle.
then its all in the timing, i can moves my fingers fast just my timing is off.
i did hit 16 on the chrono we use tho, so i can't complain

everyone tells me how sensitive my trigger is. i think its not all that bad, i guess compared to everyone elses

[purplemag]

if you had to take a guess, how many wrench turns is your trigger adjustment screw? Like starting at where the trigger will not move.

[rikkter]

dunno. but its like this:

however i think im'a make it a tad bit shorter

alright going to the workshop(dining room table) to fix my walking problem!

[paintpiggie]

i say there's no real set setup for the trigger

got 1:1 magnets

it took me a while to get the real feel for my trig
tweaked the trigger magnet to the point where
i would always have accidents. it's nice
and sensitive. then i'd sit in my bed with my mag
and drive my roomie crazy practicing the trigger.

mmmmm, num.

My only words right now are "So that is what this thing is capable of!!!!!!!" I have now finely tuned the trigger to my fingers and this thing absolutely rips. 2 o-rings and one magnet. A little bit longer trigger pull, with the hes magnet set to fire right before the end of the stroke. Ropes of paint, I mean ropes, and yes after using a mag for like 9 years now, that is the first rope of paint I have ever shot. Thanks AGD, and all the people on AO for the help!
