If you are referring to a "SET Trigger" on a rifle. The Set Trigger releases all the normal mechanisms in the action but does not release the hammer on the rifle, but it sets up the firing trigger to act like a "Hair Trigger" just barley touch the firing trigger and the rifle goes off. It's used in hunting. It is common on black powder "Hawkins Rifles."
