Carter 2 shot release for hunting

[gregvisser]

Hi guys,

Finally put together my bow and I am pretty happy with my set up. Just really frustrating having a good bow etc and only being able to site in the 10, 20 and 30 yard pins - the other two will have to wait until I can shoot better.

The purpose for me getting a bow is for hunting (yes, it will spend a lot of time on the range as well). I chose the Carter 2 shot - good build quality, nice thumb safety, comfortable and can set the sensitivity. I have since read that it is a good release, but too noisy for hunting (I must confess that they might have a point....). Am I wasting my time learning to shoot with this or has anyone used one of these for hunting? Also - lots of shiny surfaces on what should be a camo release......

Any recommendations?

Cheers,

Greg

I shoot 3D and hunt with my Carter 2 Special with a D loop on my string. The only disadvantage that I have experience with using this style of release was cold weather! Other than that I will continue to use these hand held releases. As far as it being camo, I always figured... If an animal can see my release, then it saw me a long time ago!

I bought the Carter 1 shot and it was very LOUD so it now hangs in my garage , if the Carter 2 shot is loud also i would seek another one . i finally got the Carter Loc-Jaw 2000
it is awsome .

I have the 2 shot and love the thing! I believe the noise issue you refered to is upon connecting it to the string/loop. I had the same concern. I have found that when you press the saftey to lock it on, if you just put you index finger on the trigger then squeeze the saftey to lock it on the string, you will get zero noise. I do it now without realizing it after a little practice. I don't notice any noise on release, so I'm just guessing the noise you are talking about is putting the release on the string. Give it a shot, no pun intended
