Roddy is correct. There is a mod. for the Sniper trigger. Look for a post in the "Gear Review" section titled "Center Point Sniper 370". Page 19 is where the discussion takes off.

Looney developed a way to remove 50% of the trigger travel with a simple mod. to the trigger mechanism. The factory 1/2" of pull is reduced to 1/4" of travel and it could be made even less if you really wanted to.

Simply put, it's a physical stop added to the trigger rocker and a mild change to the pin it drives. Just .020 of a change to the pin will make a huge difference in the trigger. This work preserves the shear relationship of the trigger rocker for safety. The internal spring also can be changed which will change trigger pressure. That's being worked on as well. If we can replicate the test spring Looney has used with one that has the physical and compression characteristics we need, you will see your Sniper trigger pressure drop from 5+ lbs to about 3-3.5 lbs.

I've been shooting my Sniper with the travel mod. for about a week. It certainly changes the character of the xbow. No more serious concentration necessary on those long shots. It's the only critique I've had of the xbow since I first started shooting it and now the trigger matches the performance of the rest of the xbow.

If you are a DIY I can send you a drawing for this piece. If you're interested in a kit, I've got 50 being made by a local machinist and they will be available to any of the folks on the Forum. Price will likely be about $50.
Any word if CP improved the trigger for 2017?
 
I am back dabbling with bowguns again,I picked up a whisper sniper elite and topped it with a tact 100 scope and am picking up 6 22" Burt coyote lumen bolts today to get it dialed in.It took me three shots to get the stock scope and stock arrows hitting dead on at 20 yards.I plan on using it a fair amount the last 5 or 6 weeks of our season after gun season is over.

I will be setting it up with 125 gr qad exodus and 125 gr chinadermics,and a black quake shotgun sling as well.It is definitely an upgrade over the original which was a great setup.I am going to buy the Amped 415 as well,It was not in stock,It was sold out.I will just wait for it to come on sale and pick it up.
