TruFire Edge FT

Other benefits of this movement are a maximized draw length, by nearly one inch, all while allowing users to still find their optimal anchor point without sacrifices to trigger pull or hand positioning. The end result is less “floating” at full draw, a more solid anchor point, and increased accuracy.
