On your TC Hawken model, the rear trigger is used to set the front trigger for as lighter pull for target shooting. When you go to full cock and set the rear trigger, it turns the front trigger into a hair trigger. Without the set, and again, in full cock the front trigger is just a hunting trigger and a bit firmer. As mentioned, there is an adjustment on the bottom of the trigger plate, located between the two triggers. At this time will not describe how it does this just say that the set trigger is an assist on the front trigger or normal trigger. I would suspect that yours is out of the adjustment range. If you have to, pull it and inspect it. Not hard to do at all. You can even observe it's operation in the removed condition. kind of neat how it works and been around for more years than you or I.

To Set; (Per The Manual)
With the rifle uncharged and unprimed, place the hammer in the half-cock position. set the rear trigger. With the trigger "set", carefully turn the adjustment screw clockwise until the trigger mechanism "snaps" into the "unset" position. Stop turning the instand the mechanism "snaps".
Do not turn the adjustment screw beyond this point for it marks the instant of total set trigger disengagement. Once the mechanism "snaps", turn the adjustment screw counter clockwise one full turn.

Might also add that there could be safety issues on not setting the "set" right as it could lead to accidental discharges. So please be safe !!


Be Safe !!!
