Fixing that Darn Trigger - Key to improving your Shot Timing

John Huber was an avid collector of curio and relic firearms, but he had a problem. He loved the look and feel of his classic Mauser rifle, but he hated to shoot it because of something he refers to as “that darn trigger.”

So, like other “can-do” creators throughout the decades, while seeking a solution to a personal dilemma. he ended up starting a company – Huber Concepts (HC) – providing products for men and women who also wanted to bring some fun back to the performance of their classic firearms. (that was 20 yrs ago)

Huber's original trigger was created with both the collector and the shooter in mind, and each successive HC innovation has kept that same audience at the forefront. Today, the company's black Teflon model continues to provide match grade performance while maintaining the original military profile of a rifle.

Huber came out with several triggers for the WWI and WWII era rifles that had distinct features for a stage two and stage one rifles. Eventually, while working on the Remington 700 triggers they worked out the details of a two-stage trigger that was from the rotation concept. This led to a guaranteed better shot timing.

Using the analogy from football: "If you think about a quarterback throwing the ball to a receiver, at the last second – when the fingertips are on the ball – is when all the zip, the spin, the direction, the speed…everything happens."

In our industry, everyone [that shoots] is dealing in degrees of being late on their shots. The crosshairs are only on the target so long.” The trigger uses what the company calls “anti-friction ball technology,” which involves some pretty advanced mathematics, but boils down to a highly improved tactile sensation during the trigger pull. Scores of people who have tested the trigger on the range and in the field have said the same thing; that you can feel the exact break moment every single time you pull the trigger.

In short, shooters really need to get their index fingers on one to fully appreciate what Huber has created, even if only for a dry fire test. "Our whole thing is that you don’t have to have a hair trigger," added Disbro. "You can have control on the trigger, you can have it where you don’t have to have anticipation of when the shot’s going to go. It’s going to fire when you are on the target, and not late."

I’m very happy with my Timney trigger.
