I just recently purchased this release and had a question about how it functions. Most releases I've used in the past open and close using the trigger. On this particular release the "claw"(part that grips the bow) does not come open when I pull the trigger back. It requires that I both pull the trigger back with my middle finger and use my pointer finger to open the part that clips on to the bow manually. The clip will then lock open and I must pull the trigger to close it around the string. The release seems to function well other than this, but I just wanted to make sure that it was functioning correctly. Thanks, Rob
