You need to find someone in your area that can help you learn how to draw and fire this release properly. It is hard to tell you how to do it over the internet. If it is hard to get to go off it is either adjusted wrong, or you are executing your shot wrong. And if it is going off when you draw it or let it down you are holding the release wrong.

When you draw the bow and let it down all the weight should be on your first two fingers, and a thumb post works even better. Or invest in a release with a safety, so you can come to full draw and release the safety.

What you really need is someone to watch you shoot that knows how to use one, and then do a LOT of blind and blank bale shooting. It is a must that you get to used to this release before trying to aim with it.

I have played with them and my girlfriend uses one. I personally don't care for them, but have never punched myself with one or lost an arrow. However I had someone show me how to use one. I just like a trigger is all.
