^ If you are looking for speed shoot a handheld and a small loop. You can adjust the little bitty goose all the way in as well. I had it all the way in just experimenting and couldnt even touch the triggerhardlylol!

Making a trigger that touchy can lead to target panick and is really hard to relax into the shot so it really isn't advisable.
I was referring to the length the release goes in or out (distance head is from wrist strap). I was assuming BS was trying to find a way to get more speed by changing the release mechanics. If you make the release shorter, you can lengthen DL which in turn would make more speed? I wouldnt do it, but some do.

Pertaining to speed... the first time i chronoed my 101st it was at 29" of draw. It went 316. I bumped up the draw to 29.5" and shot it, through the exact same chronoe at gandermtn. and it went 318. 1/2" gave me 2fps. Ive heard people say that 1" of draw is about 10fps[>:] I know each bow is different but i dont thinkk that rule of thumbis accurate at all for most. Like I said before, speed is not an issue with me, and i could care less, but i do like to say the changes that certain things do to my bow. In turn, I dont believe that altering your form would be worthy of time for speed BS. Just a thought...
