Do you prefer a single or a set trigger for hunting?

[Rat]

Yeah, I like them both, I'm not real "trigger sensitive", I do fine with even heavy pulls...but I do appreciate "nice" triggers. When actually shooting at a deer, setting the trigger does not seem to be anything I forget to do, or distracts me...which was a concern before I actually ever used them, although my triggers (on my Jeager) do not require being set, I can just pull the front trigger and fire it "normally". Hopefully if I have gloves on, next time I get a shot, I will NOT set the trigger....we'll see!

I think I like the set trigger for sighting in and target work, in the field, taking a real shot, I'm fine with either one.

for hunting I like a single trigger, target shooting a set trigger

Most of my muzzleloading rifles have double set triggers. I like the option of a double set trigger. I can use it as a single if needed or set it if the opportunity is provided for a shot with a rest.

Set. Most (98%) of my shooting is right out in the back acres, target shooting. I use set triggers on all my guns and all my targets.
When its time to hunt, setting the trigger comes as second nature. It would goof me up to try and shoot single while watching a buck.

A single pinned trigger can be made fairly light and crisp. What ever you choose I think spending time shooting it is the key.

My preference for target shooting is set. For hunting single is fine. When Dave Persons began building my Chamber Little Fella kit I ordered a double set option. We/Dave found out this is not a simple drop in situation. So, if you are considering building a rifle do be ready for some tricky inlay work. BTW, the triggers work beautifully.

I've owned muzzleloaders with both types about half & half. Most of what I now have came with double set triggers and I'm very used to them. In fact, three of my dbl set guns have very fine unset pulls. All the triggers when set have pulls of under a pound. So if I have to choose one or the other I'll choose double set.
