TARGET TRIGGER
SPECIAL SAFETY NOTE
The specialized RUGER
®
TRAP MODEL Shotgun you have selected is
specifically designed for the precision target sport of competitive trap shooting at
clay targets. As such, it demands that you take extra safety precautions.
The RUGER
®
TRAP MODEL Shotgun is a target firearm designed to have
a light and crisp target trigger pull with a minimum of take-up (“slack”) and
overtravel. Its special target trigger is externally adjustable for weight of pull, and
has been set at the factory to have an approximately 3.5 pound trigger pull.
Overtravel and sear engagement have been factory set for correct trigger
functioning and should not be further adjusted.

SHOOTERS MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR CHANGES TO THE FACTORY
SETTINGS, WHEN THEY CHOSE TO MAKE SUCH ADJUSTMENTS, MUST TAKE
FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR TAKING THE ADDITIONAL SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED WHEN HANDLING A TARGET FIREARM WITH A
LIGHTER TARGET TRIGGER PULL.
The only adjustment you can safely make to this target trigger involves its
weight of pull. Before making any such adjustment, please read and understand
this entire procedure! If you are unclear as to how to proceed with any step,
make no further adjustments and immediately contact the Ruger Product
Service Department, [phone], for instructions. Do not attempt to use this
shotgun or any firearm if you are uncertain as to its safe operating condition.
1. Open the action and check to be sure the shotgun is unloaded! Keep the
muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times.
2. Close the shotgun. On the top of the target trigger, just above where the
finger presses during firing, is a hole with a small screw in it. This is the
weight of pull adjustment screw.
