OK.......for those of you who haven't seen it yet , here's your chance to put "The face with the Name" so to speak.
Hey Jeff!...,
You know that yuo don't need to give up the draw length with a string loop?
I shoot the same exact 30" model bows I've always shot with a regular caliper release........but now I use a string loop.
How?......simple, a Scott "Rhino" release.
The Rhino allows you to assume the same anchor as you would with a long barreled release like a Mongoose......I tie a short 1/2" loop, and the trigger sits just behind the end of the loop.
The head is super short which "imitates" the length of a regular sized caliper release, and the fact that there are no jaws to put thru the loop you can tie it pretty short.......it's just an angled peg.
This set up allows me to shoot my normal draw length + a loop = no loss of performance......if anything I GAIN some because of the ability to use such a short loop.
On top of that, I think the "Rhino"'s design is superior for loop shooting because there is no jaw "Kick"......the entire peg assembly "Free floats" on a pivot point allowing the string to fire dead straight away.
My anchor with the Rhino and a loop is identical to how I would shoot off the string with a Scott Mongoose caliper release with the same 30" bow......
Try it and go back to your normal draw length!!!
BowTech_Shooter....thanks for chiming in with the $$ of the TomKat......now that I really think about it, I think that particular dealer had it on the rack for maybe $390ish.00
You guys are gonna dig that Patriot.
