I shoot more Trap than anything and have my triggers set at 3.5#. My view is, if the gun goes off before you "want" it to, surprising you, then it is too light. If too heavy, it will seem like it takes effort to do so. As Phil C stated, around 3-4# seems to be where most target shooters end up. I am so used to the 3.5# that if I go hunting with a heavier-weight trigger, such as an 1100, I may flinch on the trigger the first few times because my brain thinks it should have gone off with "x" amount of effort. It only takes a couple of those events to get re-acclimated to the heavier pull weight.
