As you can see in the video there is entirely too much play in the Bridgers and it is like that with all of them. Last edited by Aaron.F; 01/10/22 08:56 PM. 60% of the time it works every time.

Just clamp the trigger in a vice on the sides of the rivet, and then drive a nail in on each side of the notch to spread out the notch so it'll hit the dog further from the trap frame.
