I feel your pain, literally. I have this release that I have had for 15 yrs and it has
always worked great. This year I started shooting with a loop really liked it. But, after about 3 month of hunting and practice the batting that is stuffed in the center of the loop material broke free and the loop lost its bulk. This allowed the loop to flatten and my old release has just enough gap to allow it through. Pow!! right in the nose and two lost arrows.

I laugh about it now, but keep a closer check on the loop. Im going to get a different release this spring.

Keep trying with the release, it will improve your accuracy, and when that happens you' ll wonder why it took so long to convert.
