I'm wanting to buy a release that you can snap onto a D loop without looking? Does anyone have any suggestions?
I think what you want is going to come more with practice than a new release. But to minimize the amount of looking and precision you need I guess you need to go with narrow jaws and ones that lock just by pushing the trigger forward. Cobra has some descent releases with narrow jaws. I'm sure about all the manufacturers make some with narrower jaws its just a matter of what you like. I use a Scott Little Goose and have no problem getting it on the D-loop quickly and can usually just do it with my peripheral vision or just a quick glance.
I switched to a thumb release so soon as I get in the tree I put my release on my bow and it is ready when I need it. Main reason I made the switch though is because I self film all my hunts and I didn't like having my release get in the way or banging the camera. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2
An open style hook that is made for loops is what you want. Take a look at the truball short and sweet. Very easy to load while keeping an eye on your target. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
I love the Scott release I have listed below because it's dual caliper and very compact. When its on my wrist but I'm not using it I can just tuck it inside the buckle and it's out of the way. I also never look as I hook it on to my D loop and it works great once you get the hang of it.
Love my Tru-Fire Hardcore single jaw release. With a hair trigger and the foldback option, I really like it.
Well I own a scott little bitty goose and love it. But I've owned it for about 6yrs now and the pin that holds the actual trigger fell out last week. So I'm just exploring the options. I'm really considering the truball short and sweet or the bone collector release. Has anyone used those releases.
A hair trigger on a bow release can be counter procuctive. They are too touchy to be able to lay your finger on and fire with back tension.You must fire them by punching which can cause target panick and sweeping across the target and punching when the pin hits the spot.
X3 Tru-Fire Hardcore. The Hardcore Max has adjustable trigger pressure and travel. Quality and made in USA (WI).
I think you're right tfox (I'm sure you are). I feel like you just described me with my little goose. What should we do?
Increase the tension as high as it will go. Read punching the trigger thread Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
I want to pick up the Tru fire Maxx Hardcore. I used one when trying out a bow at the local shop and fell in love. With the adjustment in tension and the head can swivel its an amazing release that i feel might help me get more accurate. I dont tend to punch the trigger but when i do man does it irritate me. I like to squeeze the trigger and hold it there after the shot and during the shot pull back while lightly squeezing the trigger. I feel being able to adjust the tension i can see if lighter or heavier will surprise me more on the shot.
Second this, when I got my finger resting on the trigger waiting to take the shot I wouldnt want a glove or something to have it go off when I wasnt expecting it. Wrist slap and a miss at a dear of a lifetime would infuriate me.
I dont agree with the idea that a light trigger = automatic trigger punch. I shoot on the provincial handgun team, just won four gold medals this weekend and I am shooting at nationals on august 21'st and my gun has a light trigger. free pistol is a ten gram trigger and people shoot bullseye at 50 meters no problem. trigger control does not come over night but to say you MUST punch a light trigger seem totally wrong.....in my opinion.
We're not shooting guns. We are shooting bows that require back tension to be shot effectively and accurately at distance. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
