Default New release with more forward trigger

I shoot a few different releases, and all have jaws very forward. Works great with my >40" ATA bows. But I need a release where the trigger is more forward made for getting longer draw for short ATA bows.

I like the truball short and sweet but want a jaw release like my mongoose.

Any suggestions.

I'm eye-balling the new tru-fire bulldog with the fold back spring thingy that keeps it back out of the way instead of releying on your sleeve to do so.

It also has the press to open let back down to close jaws that I prefer to hunt with. Reminds me to call my shop and see if he has any in stock.

Forgot about trufire. Thanks

So far, looking at the Truball Xtra line, Scott sabertooth, and wildcat. I have a trufire, and swore never owned another but I will check it out.

Yeah that kinda worries me, I've never owned a tru-fire and don't want to regret it.

My second vote would be for the Tru-ball Titan xtra.

I have the standard Titan and love the small head and central hook up.
It also has the press to open and let up to close jaws I prefer.
Hmm, might have a change of heart here......

Not a jaw type release but try a Carter Quickie if you can before you buy anything. The wife and I both shoot them and they are super releases that don't wear the string loop. They also reset them selves at the shot.

Good to read, is the trigger pull as smooth as the rest?

The tru-ball Judge is supposed to be a pretty good release. I see quite a few guys shooting w/them @ the shop. I'm lookn' 4 a new release myself, & like the looks of the bulldog, but will compare it to the judge.
