RE: Recommended Release?

i have a truefire judge and i like it alot...i have had a scott release before and it was very reliable...as long as u stay away from velcro and buy a good name brand you should be fine...

I am brand new to the sport... got hooked up with my bow etc and after reading this thread went out and plunked down my $$ for a Scott Scorpion release. It seems pretty nice, I like the buckle fit etc and it is adjustable but.. man is the release SENSITIVE!!! Is there a way to make it less sensitive or are they all that way. I haven't shot with it yet, still trying to get it adjusted to the correct length, but am afraid I am going to set an arrow off due to how sensitive it is.

Along the same lines.... do you actually draw back with the release, or do you draw back with fingers and then just let the release do the holding/firing when you are ready?

Sorry for the newbie questions. :eek:

Congrats on the new set up. To answer your question, you draw back with the release. I am not familiar with the Scott you purchased but on my Little Bitty Goose there is a tiny hex screw right above the trigger, that is what you use to adjust the trigger spring tension to your liking.

RE: Recommended Release?

Thanks Guys for all the information. One question on the sight. Do you guys prefer a 3 pin or 5 pin configuration on a hunting sight? Again thanks again for all the good feedback.

Thanks,

Haakon
