380 Trigger unit

Post by Boo »

I thought you guys would like some close-ups on the Ceasefire trigger in the new 380 Micro.
The scope base is a vast improvement over the past. It butts up to the trigger unit and dovetails in and is held by 2 beveled 4mm screws.

This is the detent that engages the groove in the Rhino nock and pushes the arrow down to have a ADF fully engaged. There will be a whole lot less semi dry-fires with this trigger unit.

Here is the ADF

It uses a roller like the ACP trigger but it is obviously more sophisticated. With the old system if you had a dryfire, depending on the bow, it may change your POI or damage your serving. This will not happen with this system. More importantly, I think it cures all of the ills of the other when it comes to the scope being loose. The old system had holes larger than the screws allowing the base to go up and down. The new trigger unit has the scope base fastened from the top and has beveled holes and larger screws.
All in all I think Kyle should be commended for his design! It is a vast improvement :thumbup: ! I don't want to know what money went into the R&D and the cost to manufacture. :eusa-think:

Looks good Don!

Are they available for purchase if a guy wanted to drop one in the micro nightmare? :)

Wyvern's has them for sale.

I really like the new mounting setup for the scope rail.
These improvements seem like they are well thought out and this trigger is sure to be a big hit! Kudos to Kyle on an excellent design!
Take care

Doubt it. The Suppressor is a bull pup. The trigger and the trigger unit are not one unit. The Suppressor has a trigger with a linkage that goes between the trigger lever and the trigger. The Ceasefire trigger lever goes into and attaches to internal parts. There is no place to attach a linkage. A linkage has to attach right at the bottom of the trigger unit, almost level with the base.

Donno Chris, but I think it is too low and would be a long trigger pull. Cut the lever and the trigger unit is useless for a non-BD bow.
