Mine was just delivered, can't wait to get home and install it.

Peter - hint hint, product improvement item here...
Kind of bummed that you don't get a new blue trigger lever like the ACP Standard Trigger. :thumbdown: Excalibur charges the same price, so why couldn't they toss in a new lever for the Bulldog guys? Then I'd know my blue lever bows had the ACP, red lever bows had the TT, and black trigger bows had the stock trigger.

The new blue lever just sucks ergonomically, the way I felt it.

First , it is too short for normal fingers.
Secondly, it has round edges , lacking a solid feel.
Thirdly, it has no stippling like the stock or TT and is prone to finger slipage.
Lastly, the trigger unit should have been anodized. The cheap blue paint job gives it a cheap slippery feeling.

Excal cheaped out on this essential trigger part.

Your not missing much.

The could not make the trigger longer because they had issues with some bows and the way the trigger pivots.

I saw a simple fix and suggested it to their engineers at the ATA.
We shall see what next years unit looks like after all the complaints they are going to recieve.

Just got it installed today, plus put the scope on that I want to use. Didn't get to shoot it because of the high winds and cold weather.

My linkage did not look bad, still had round holes. The instructions said replace the shoulder screw and wave washer on the linkage. Mine only had a screw, I could see where a washer would take up the slop. Also, the head of the screw hits the frame in the trigger resting position. Why would they put such a large headed screw there?

My guess would be that some engineer said there had to be a specific head diameter in relation to the shoulder diameter of the screw. :crazy:

I put a nylon washer for the linkage, no more slop.

Does the new acp trigger reduce the length of the pull or take up when squeezing the trigger? In the bulldog 400 that is... that is my biggest complaint about the stick trigger. Feels like I pull forever!!!
In single stage, there is no travel. Period

Billy can comment further as I have come to appreciate 2 stage
Night and day. Your right. There was no travel... I only had time to send a few bolts down range but the trigger breaks almost as soon as I start squeezing. The old stock trigger on my bulldog 400 felt like I pulled an half inch or more before I felt anything. Thanks for the info gentleman!!! Well worth the money 💴
