Hey Washington Hunter,I know how you feel. 2 seasons ago I was drawing back (shooting 83lbs at the time) and my release took a crap and popped off the loop. I punched myself in my eye so hard I ended up on the floor! I darn near knocked myself out! I wrote the company and got a new release for free. A few months later the same thing happened, not quite as hard, but it still left me with a shiner. Needless to say I don't use that brand of release anymore. I can just see it....drawing back on a huge buck and the release would malfunction and I would punch myself right out of the stand [:@].I draw back more towards my chest now so if something happens I won't smack myself in the face.

I always keep an eye on my loop, and replace it with any sign of wear. Make sure you mushroom the ends over really well!
