Title: Pull
Post by: LURCHWV@BJS on March 18, 2010, 09:07:14 PM

  I've heard people talk about it, ask questions about it, but I really don't know what people are talking about when they ask or say "What's the Pull?" ???

Could be asking pull weight or pull length?????

Pull weight is how many oz it takes to pull the beastie off of full draw...

Pull distance is distance from center of buttplate to release trigger/trikker. :)

"Pull" is the distance from the buttplate to the firing trigger.  It is usually measured from the center of the buttplate in a straight line, to the firing trigger.  Old timers like to measure the distance from the crook of your elbow to the bend in your trigger finger, and make the pull length of the rifle to match...which may or may not work for your individual body dimensions (but should get you in the ballpark).
