Release hanging up!
I have a scott mongoose release and shoot with a string loop. I had a problem a while back of my release not letting go of my string loop. The curved jaw of the release was "catching" the loop and not letting go when I pulled the trigger. When it would finally let go, the arrow would fly in an unknown direction because I would freak out because I am at full draw and I just pulled the trigger but the arrow is still pulled back. This was a very scary thing. I figured it was my string loop because the material was not very good and the metal jaws seemed to wear a groove on the inside of the string loop. I had the loop replaced and put around 200 shots on the new string loop. Tonight I was shooting in my wooden shed and this happend to me 3 times in a row. The first time I put an arrow into my cabinets the second arrow went through the wall and the 3rd I got really close to the bag and it happend again. I have lost all confidence in either my release, my string loop, or both. I am kind of scared to shoot my bow because I don't know when it is going to happen again. After the first couple of times it happend to me it gave me terrible target panic and I was just getting over it, then the problem came back. Does anyone have any opinions on what I should do? I was thinking about just shooting off of the string, but I am kind of scared of this still happening again. Has anyone ever had any problems like this?
