While Ive been told that the Chocolate will close...I know what you are talking about. When you pull one of the types with just the hook you have to keep the release perpendicular to the string until there is tension on the release, then your rotate the release with your thumb going downward, just like you see when everone shoots. The pressure on the release should keep the d-loop on if done right. As I told you my friend shoots one like this and has no problems. However the first time i tried it i didnt do it right and the release went off when i wasnt ready. Thats why i went with the caliper thumb style. I know the Carters are way better releases but I guess it takes some getting used to.
Thanks............and yes, I believe you understand what I am describing. However, my question is not about whether the release will stay closed or open when tripped..........but rather how do guys hook onto the string or loop perpindicular to the string (thumb facing left for a righty) and then rotate at full draw to parallel with the string (thumb facing down) and not twist the heck out of the release, string, loop, or all 3?? It seems to me like the head would have to rotate to avoid this.
