    I received my release last night and had a little bit of time to play with it. First of all, the fit and finish is great. The cocking mechanism has a nice tight feel and is easy to operate. The trigger is as crisp as I've ever shot. The release did change my nocking point. I will need to move my peep a little bit to compensate. I'm still playing around with that.

    I am impressed and happy with it so far.

    Yes. They are expensive but after shooting it I can see it was worth it. The other thing I don't like about them is the short warranty. I'm not getting the feeling that if something goes wrong they will back it up long term like I've been getting accustomed too with the higher end archery products today. Maybe they are bullet proof and it won't matter.


    Which one do you shoot?

    I shoot the rx1 wrist release now but also have a fits me too hand held. Never had any issues, even after gravel tuning.

    I don't think there will be any CS issues.

    The only reason I said that is because I read the warranty card that came with it and I think it was only 1 year and the lingo they had looked like the warranty for a $99.99 flat screen TV.

    My Kifaru Nomad came in a few days ago. This pack is sweet! Hopefully I have a pic of a big bull strapped to it in about 60 days!

    I had one before though. Returned it and got a backspin. I like the backspin but like to have the option too.
