Awesome video. A little trick I use for putting more holes in a strap is heat up a nail red hot and push it through with pliers. The holes are nice and neat looking with no frayed material. I’ve had to do it for a few people. Works great.

My personal favorite are the Trufire models like the smoke he showed here. I went for the $85 version, I forget the model name. It is a dual caliper spring tension release. The slightly more expensive version I use is more polished and contoured which reduces the Loop wear he mentioned. I absolutely love it! As far as the sear style, or cam style releases are concerned I don’t really like the sudden break of the trigger. It causes me to flinch or worse pre-fire accidentally. With my favorite I simply trained myself not to punch the trigger or anticipate the release. I just anchor, aim, and concentrate on aiming more than what my trigger finger is doing. Like he said 1 thought comes naturally. Just slowly ease into it and like a rifle it sends it down range when it sends it. Form and aim come first!

I love my Trufire Hardcore max. The biggest PT is what you stated. Can feel for the d-loop while still be able to keep an eye on the animal. Also the wrist strap is very comfortable and don’t feel any pinching on the wrist. Now when you release watch the hook and make sure it is completely engaged before you draw back. Mine doesn’t lock in sometimes.

I agree about the new stan, i want to see it in action from some people doing reviews. There is an index finger trigger release that i feel gets nowhere near the attention it deserves. The scott echo is a superb hybrid style release, very adjustable in terms of trigger tension and travel along with being on a strap to adjust the throat length. I found it to be far more consistent than my trufire hardcore.

I have that release you have. Well the lil goose. Had it for about 4 years now. Worked great up until today. That set screw backed out on its own over time and I didn't notice it until I got in my stand this afternoon. Release wouldn't hold the string at all. I actually had to use a tooth pick to get it out once I got home cuz I didn't have an Allen key that small. Threw the set screw in the garbage so that doesn't happen again. Not sure if you've ever had that issue or anybody else who has that release have that issue but if you do something you might want to check before you go out hunting so that doesn't happen to you. I was just shooting the other day and it was fine. Still love the release but just a heads up if you have it so it doesn't spoil a hunt for you

I use to Use release on recurve the issue is recurve at full draw has a lot more weight on release therefore when trigger sear is released the string still has a lot more force opening jaws of release causing trigger itself to fracture. Tried 3 different releases and same type damage to all 3 of them . Honestly the reason I am getting back into recurve now is they are faster to aquire target and honestly a release just adds more that has to be addressed during the shot. For target shooting recurve I can see a benefit in shoot through riser recurve and a release but need to find a release that can cushion the jaws as they are forced open .

Love my Wiseguy, but it is super sensitive (in a good way). When my Wiseguy strap goes, I'll be making a new leather one. My buddy's Scott got so frayed I decided it was too dangerous to shoot anymore. I cut the parts off and made him a new strap that will outlast his archery career and its custom fit to his wrist. Just because it came in the box that way doesn't mean it needs to stay that way. Better yet grab a used one with a bad strap on the cheap and make your own. Custom fit, fraction of the price.

I found the comment about not having to look down to hook the release to the stringloop interesting. I was born with the kind of eyeballs that move freely in their sockets, allowing me to look down without moving my head. That's a terrible handicap for you to have, especially for bowhunting, to have eyeballs that are in a fixed position. Besides that, you said you can feel the loop with your fingers, so it doesn't require you to look down. What if you're wearing gloves?

@InsideOutPrecision5 жыл бұрын
I have a Stan PerfeX thumb release and have sent it back 3 times because the springs wear out and there's a ton of travel after they do. Something must be wrong with your wise guy if there's trigger travel before it fires, because all the ones I have used don't have any travel that I can feel. Carter actually makes the best release if you're looking for something with no travel, we just don't carry them so no I couldn't review them.

There are couple things here...first, are you gripping the release shank when aiming? If so, swivel or no swivel, it's going to torque the back of your arrow.
