    I've been shooting a winn free flight since I started. It feels more comfortable than a wrist strap to me and any time I've changed my anchor point is all messed up. I love the triggers on the scotts though. Wondering if anybody has ever tried combining the winn glove with a Scott head? If anybody has any old releases laying around shoot me a pm....I'd hate to buy several new ones to just tear apart!! Thanks

    I have tried the very same thing that you are talking about. Used the Scott Little Goose. Long story short: Didn't work; the trigger was way too long to work for me.

    Yes its possible, I like CK have played around with it but in my case it moved the trigger to far forward away from my trigger finger, because of the longer head.
    Any Who I sent you a pm on the availability of a used Winn Glove if you dcide your still interested in trying it.

    Tommy;
    Here are the photos we spoke of. A few years back I used an Older Scott Little Goose Release with a Winn Free Flight Release Glove. I dont have the original photos so these are just cut and paste photos.

    In photo #1 you can cut the rivet ( Blue Circle ) that attaches the Scott Head to the wrist strap mounting triangle.
    And then mount it on the Winn glove, but it will lengthen the release there by altering your anchor point, I wasnt happy with the results.

    So I tried method #2

    In photo #2 you can remove the allen head screw that attaches the Scott Head to the swivel post.
    Once you remove the Scott head you will need to cut roughly two 1/2 inch slits up the sides of the Scott Head ( 2 Pink lines )
    these slits will allow the head to attach to the mounting location on the Winn glove. You will need to replace the head screw from the Scott release that will hold the head onto the the Winn glove with a longer mounting screw ( make sure it has the same threading as original screw) and then set it with a locking nut. I didnt care for the rsults of this transformation either.

    Photo #3 is just a cut and paste to show you what it would look like.

    In all I wasnt happy with the end results from either method , they both changed my anchor point and I wasnt willing to change my anchor point so I have since returned my Winn Release to its original form.
