Default RE: Thumb release guys.....question(s)

Jeff,


It won't change your anchor point but it will make your anchor "feel" a little off until you get used to it. Like anything else, it'll take some getting used to. It may also make your draw length shorter, or atleast feel shorter. If that makes any sense. I also think I remember you saying that you ordered a Carter, I know with my Carter, it changed my POI. The way I use a thumb release is that, I draw it with my thumb behind the trigger, I then get settled in at full draw, wrap my thumb AROUND the trigger, applying a little pressure, I then start floating the pin and pulling with my back. You want the release to be set a little on the heavy side, allowing you to use backtension. The most important thing that I had to remember was that I needed to wrap my thumb around the trigger and just start "pulling", while I "float" the pin.
