Recommended Release?
Looking to get some feedback on a reliable, easy to use, release for hunting. I'm looking to relace my old Fletchmatic. Suggestions?
|
RE: Recommended Release?
I use a Scott Little Goose and like it.
|
RE: Recommended Release?
I also use a Scott but it's a Shark. Anything by Scott is very dependable and easy to use.
|
RE: Recommended Release?
I really like my TruFire Judge. It's the most adjustable out there and very smooth in every way. Check them out. [/align] |
RE: Recommended Release?
Scott Mongoose.;)
|
RE: Recommended Release?
Scott little bitty goose but will try the new scott wildcat with the forward trigger next.
|
RE: Recommended Release?
Like others have said, anything by Scott. Whatever brand you choose get one with a buckle strap, stay away from the velcro. It is noisy and it will wear out.
|
RE: Recommended Release?
i like my little bitty goose alot.but like terry i am willing to try the one with the forward trigger. either way i dont think you could go wrong

Scott sabertooth is by far the best release I have ever used.
|
RE: Recommended Release?
Yes, I agree. Prior to my current release, I had a velcro and it was certainly noisy if for some reason I had to take it off in the woods and over time the velcro started to lose its grip. Thanks for the feedback. Looks like I venture towards Scott.

RE: Recommended Release?
I like my Trufire Judge Buckle Release
|
RE: Recommended Release?
Scott's little goose, I have used it for 5 yrs and no problems.
|
RE: Recommended Release?
Does the Mongoose Have a verco strap?
|
RE: Recommended Release?
i like my trufire. i think its a hurricane model. but ive had a few and they all still work great.
|
RE: Recommended Release?
yep i have a trufire release to they are great can be a little costly tho (40+$$)
|
RE: Recommended Release?
Why would you ever want to stop using your fletchmatic those are the greatest things ever.
|
RE: Recommended Release?
I just got the Scott Sabertooth and really like it. I have huge hands so the easy adjustment inside the hand is real nice. Buckle strap also.
|
RE: Recommended Release?
velcro is noisy but normally you arent taking it on and off in the woods and ive had mine for 6 years and it haasnt worn out
|
RE: Recommended Release?
are there any other companies that make those palm hand type releases? (not the strap kind)
|
RE: Recommended Release?
i like my trufire patriot it was only 20$
and its great |
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...
|
RE: Recommended Release?
I got a scott little goose and love it. Any scott will work well for you

Oh Archery Gurus.... [8D]
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: J |
RE: Recommended Release?
what ever is comfortable for you.You can spend 20 bucks or 120 bucks and I havent found a whole lot of defferance in the two
|
RE: Recommended Release?

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 |
RE: Recommended Release?
Shoot. I thought I was on another thread. Didn't want to hijack. I will start a new thread.

RE: Recommended Release?
genesis archery has a new interesting rest out.

RE: Recommended Release?
I've got a Truball Tornado, with the velcro strap, and I can honestly say it's a surprise almost every time it goes off. The trigger is simply amazing on this release. At first I was almost apprehensive about it's ability to repeatedly hold 70+ pounds, but after trying a few more of the same model at the store, I found they were all similarly set. Hair trigger, but enough of a pull to be considered safe. No creep, no gritty feeling at all.
This thing honestly has a better trigger than the Smith & Wesson Model 41 22 LR pistol I shoot target league with. I can see other's issues with the Velcro possibly being an issue, but I haven't had mine long enough yet to show any signs of that. Actually, with the double Velcro, I don't think it will become a problem. Another thing I like, is the swivel feature seems much smoother than some brands. --cutthroat |
RE: Recommended Release?
If your using a loop the Tru BaLL Short and Sweet cant be beat.....
|
RE: Recommended Release?
Take a look at the carter quickie.
|
RE: Recommended Release?
So, I am looking to try something a little different release-wise. Been using the tru-fire patriot... it is ok, but wanted to go with one of the 3-finger releases.
Anyone have any insight on the Tru-Fire Stalker 3 Finger? TIA! J |
