Default RE: what release?

Ditto the True Fire.

I have used my X-Caliper for four years or more after switching frim Instinctive Archery to Sights and Release. It has two ways to release the arrow (shoot) the standard by lockig the caliper on the string and pulling the trigger to release (fire) the arrow. The second and my preference is called Relax To Fire method [which in my opinion is every bit as good as the back tension release system we have all heard of; and I am just now switching to]. After properly adjusting the trigger pressure setting when I think of firing . . . surprise . . . it fires. It is not easy to explain but if you're interested, I have a letter fron the Tech at true Fire that I'd be willing to share with you.

Since you are new to archery and releases I think that learning the Relax To Fire would be the right place to start. You actually draw the bow while pulling the trigger then to fire just ease off the pressure on the trigger. When it fires you are indeed surprised.

I agree with you though the release is the way to go and the True Fire X-Caliper release is the best place to start. Try it . . . you'll like it.
