    Trigger Tips for the Automag newby?

    Okay. I've been using Piranha Pros for all of my Paintball life. Now I have this 68 Classic. I just got the 68 firing nicely, but I think I am short stroking or something. I chopped 5 balls in the first 100. Can ya'll give me tips on how to set this 68 up so it fires smoothly, help me how to handle the trigger so I don't short stoke, and any other tips?

    Thanks!

    Oh, one other thing:
    I have a Benchmark single trigger on there now. Should I go to a double trigger? I'm used to doubles, but will that help me on this gun do you think?

      i had a mini, benchmark single trigger
      i used my middle finger to pull the trigger.
      with my forefinger against the side, for more stability.

      just pull all the way until you cant pull the trigger
      anymore. also, get the Level10. it'll help you out.

        Somebody suggested I adjust the sear pin to give it a shorter pull. Do you know if you can do that on the Benchmark?

          DO NOT adjust your trigger rod. It changes the relationship between the trigger, sear, bolt and on/off pin.

          It's a real quick way to screwing something up.

          Learn to pull the trigger all the way. Otherwise, the level 10 is a great upgrade. If you go to a double trigger frame, go intelliframe. Plain and simple.

            Oh! Okay, then. I won't mess with it.
            I can't afford the intelliframe and the level 10, too, so I'm going to go with the composite double, I guess.

              Just save up for the level 10.. It's one of the best upgrades you can get for the mag..

                Will do. Thanks. Someone has offered me a composite double trigger for $25. I think I'm going to take it. I should then be able to get a level 10 in the next couple of months.

                  just practice....
                  shoot your marker completely each time... meaning, dont try to rush or get snappy and whatever, just make sure you pull that trigger each time all teh way and let it all teh way out..... once you do that about 2000 times your body will build up muscle memory. the firing will be second nature at that point and no matter the situation, you'll pull correctly... dont worry if you cant rip on a marker that you just picked up... you're super human if you can.... just let yourself learn that tigger naturally... i dont know when the last time i acuatally short stroked or chopped in my lvl 7 mag was... i use warp, so it cant really mis feed, and my muscle mem. doent allow me to error with the trigger, no lvl 10 needed... lol

                    Thanks!
                    I don't know if I'm ready to give up my E-Force just yet, but we'll see. I've been getting up to 12 balls a second on my e-force, but it's been known to spring a leak just before a game. I hate that.
