Default T.R.U. Ball Tornado

I found a used one. Any feed back on this release, should I stay away from it?

T.R.U. ball makes a good quality release. If I remember correctly it's designed for a string loop. NO I'M WRONG
If it's not banged up, I would not be afraid of it.

I use the tornado and a buddy of mine just bought one after using mine. You can also adjust the trigger tension by the little allen screw right behind the trigger. I use mine with a string loop. I think it works great.

Great little release... I liked the swing-away feature which allowed me to tuck the release under my sleeve as I climbed into my treestand -- yet have it available as it was already strapped on in case something showed up unexpectedly.

I have several releases in my archery tackle box. For some reason, the Tornado is the one I usually reach for. Many have told me that it has too much trigger travel, but if it does, it suits my shooting style/preference.

One thing for sure, it's a quality piece of construction. I've easily got more than 100,000 shots on mine and it still works perfectly.

Like Greg/Mo said.. I have one also, I really like the idea of having it fall away on it's little hinge,Comes in handy when you want to retrieve your arrows from the target also. Won'g get in the way.

We shoot the Tornado and love it. It performs flawlessly and like Bowtech, they are a Christian company.

The only head I've used that didn't chew up my loop. The only problem I have with them is they come in different sizes. Kind of confusing.

It was just a statement. Some people find it a plus to buy from something they like to support. Please don't slit your wrists.....OK.

How is putting christians down any different than christians putting anything else down. Same people to me. If you want to be different then be different.
