How to Adjust a Response Trigger

Paintball can be a fun and exhilarating sport to play. Paintball matches are typically played in groups of friends or with other teams in a paintball circuit. The world of paintball also incorporates a variety of weaponry and accessories, such as an optional response trigger. A response trigger offers a faster trigger pull rate because it uses the extra gas that is required to fire the paintball. Every so often, your response trigger may need adjustment to continue working properly.

      Back the adjustment screw out one full turn. Pull the trigger lightly until the weapon fires, and then hold the trigger down. You should feel the response trigger module kick back and reset its position. Continue to adjust it out by one turn at a time, and then pull the trigger; repeat the adjustment until you obtain the trigger pressure and response time you prefer. An ideal trigger adjustment is a short easy pull with an instant kickback and reset. This is the fastest trigger response, perfect for multiple firing in paintball matches.
