I think you’re right. It’s advertised as 8-24oz first stage and 8-32oz second stage. That’s .5-1.5lbs first and .5-2lb on the second. A total of 1-3.5Since no one is replying, let me see if I can help.
The fundamentals of marksmanship are muzzle management and trigger finger discipline. Put the muzzle on the target, press the trigger in a manner that does not move the muzzle, and you will hit the target.
That's why most benchrest shooters use very light triggers, so light they would not be safe in the field. That's the role of the two-stage trigger. A first stage to make the rifle safe to use in the field, and a much lighter second stage for a release that does not disturb the muzzle.
What are you trying to accomplish? Most are seeking a heavier first stage for safety and a light second stage for accuracy. A 3.5-pound second stage is counterproductive. You might call TriggerTech, but I suspect their trigger is not designed for what you are trying to accomplish. You might be happier with a single stage or try a 3.5-pound first stage and a 1.5-pound second stage.
I hope that's helpful.
OP-looks like you are trying to adjust it to heavier than it’s capable of. So question, why are you using a good trigger if you are going to set it like a heavy crap trigger?
