I can' t believe this happened to me, much less writing to you all about it! But I actually dotted my eye shooting today, not once, but TWICE! Let me say it didn' t do myself a bit of good on this release aid thing. Some may recall about month ago I wrote asking several questions about switching from fingers to a release. aid. I' d been shooting fingers for at least 14yrs, tried a release here, and there. But I wanted to make a good honest effort, and see if I liked it better. I went with the Tru-Fire excaliber glove. I liked the relax trigger mode option. Anyways after playing around with it in the house, putting a string loop on. I went out today to do some serious shooting. Right off, the relax trigger mode started malfunctioning. When I released my finger from the trigger the jaws wouldn' t open everytime. I had to jerk it to fire. So I switched to push trigger mode, still wanting to shoot with the release. Took 3-4 shoots no problem. Next shot I began to draw, and wham the release let go at half pull, and I punched myself right in the eye, ouch. Pissed me right off. I thought maybe at first it was me, and I accidentally hit the trigger. Next shot I was very careful, made sure jaws were shut on the loop, drew with my trigger finger not even near the trigger, wham! It does it again, and I punched myself in the eye again!!!! I was so darn pissed I took off the release, and threw it across the yard. Put my bow away, and said thats it. I' m a permanent fingers shooter!!!!!!
Later I called my brother about the ordeal. He was laughing so hard over the story I' m sure I' ll never live it down. After that I figured why waste $60 on this release. I' m going to send it back to Tru-Fire, and see what they find with it. But I' ll be hard pressed to get the nerve to go through that again, but knowing me I will! Oh, and my eye its ok except for the shiner[X(]
