Default Anyone using a glove release?

hi all,
(((my G key is sticking and not working all the time so please ignore typo's)))

after being frustrated with my wrist style mechanical release for too long I decided to try a glove style one. I switched from finger shooting for 10 years to a release, and it felt like my hand was about to pop off as I was pullin the strin back. I could pull the string back about 100x with my finers, hold it for 5 minutes . . . but after pulling back once with a release I couldn't pull back the second time. I detuned my bow from the factory settin of about 61lbs to 56lbs and still had the problem. I read that usin the glove type may help, because there's something to hold onto. I can pull back 63-65 lbs max w/o a release. I picked up the tru fire x-caliper bear paw glove release for under $30 at walmart.

Am I on the right track? Are there any suggestions as to using it? ie: does my hand hold it up and down like holding a handgun with the trigger to the right side, or do I turn my hand sideways with the trigger still pointed sideways?


Thanks,
p man
