That didn't take long did it???No permanent damage, is there?

I found that my natural (and comfortable) alignment was tricky with it and the strap. I'm very comfortable shooting a wrist type release, and a handheld release as well. When I try to combine them, it just doesn't seem to work well for me (alignment issues). If I could use it as a handheld release I think I'd get along well it. The problem there is drawing without my middle finger; can't seem to do it. It felt VERY awkward to me.

On a positive note, I love the feel "at the shot" of the trigger mechanisim and its adjustments (which work very well-better spring tension adjustment than most) and the basic mechanics involved in using backtension to trigger it. I tried it on a genesis with a safe fire thingy at Bedford last year and loved the way the shot broke. But again, pulling weight without my middle finger was plain tuff FOR ME.

I wanted it to work because of the feel of the break and how it allowed the use of proper back tension, but there were too many obsticals to overcome. There is so much more to using a release aid then the actual "firing" function, and that became painfully obvious to me when using this one.

Oh yeah, it fit my hand great. But so does my tru-tension and my trail boss.

My opinion anyway.
