Hello, new to the forum. I am having an issue with the trigger on this bow. Right from the get go the trigger is either the worst I've ever used or there is a problem. When you go to squeeze the trigger it is very heavy{feels like 8-9 Lbs} and then just gives way. Every other crossbow I've ever used had at least a small amount of slack before releasing. a the amount of pull and the sudden release causes a slight jerk and affects the accuracy. Anybody else got this trigger problem?

Just wondering if something in the linkage is set too tight or
does not have the proper clearance. If a compression spring
happened to be used in the trigger system like some other
crossbows use, it might be too strong. Strength in a compression
spring is set up by the diameter of the wire in the coil and the
number of coils in a certain length.
Maybe a bit of lubricant spray could help.
Wishing you all the best.
Take care.
