When to use heavy cocking spring in Carter release?

I have a target release from Carter, I didn't like the stock spring on the release.. I tried a buddy's 125# spring I do believe and I loved it. So I ended up ordering a new spring kit for my release. I have heard that when using heavier springs you need a heavier cocking spring.. Is this true? I know people that run two springs sometimes use this but when would it be necessary to switch? I'll either be using the 125# or the spring below it most likely.

Call Forrest at Carter directly and he will help you out with all of your questions.
Great CS at Carter.

 

That's what I was thinking I'd have too do. I actually talked to him yesterday and ordered something but totally forgot to ask him that question.

If you aren't sure what to do, ship it to him and it will come back in no time............ awesome!

 

I ended up talking to a Carter dealer, he said as long as it's any spring in the ITS kit it's okay, any more than the single spring it in or a custom lbs spring then it's a heavier cocking spring. Well at least I know now

Good to know in case I ever jump up to the heavier spring. I didn't like the stock spring in mine for hunting so I swapped it out for the 65# spring and it's great. It made a world of difference, but I'll be honest I didn't even try the 125# spring when playing around with what i liked best.
