RE: Releases
Tru-Fire Hurricane Power Strap (Camo) is all I use. One the most comfortable and highly adjustable releases I've ever worn.

RE: Releases
I like the glove type releases such as trufire bearpaw or winn freeflight. The reason for this is because compared to wrist only,they make draw weight feel lighter and with more control. Not only do they strap on wrist,they also give the archer something to grip and fit around hand.
With a glove type release,it's a lot easier to load onto string/loop without looking in hunting situations. |

RE: Releases
What do you people think about the Stanislawski Eagle Series of releases. They are designed like a BT release but they incorporate a middle finger trigger. I figure that it will help with better accuracy for target and hunting. Other than that release, what do you think about Carter Enterprises new Strapless release. I just can't figure out how the trigger works on it. It looks like the hook and trigger are one peice but then how would it release the loop??

Im a short and sweet man myself.

RE: Releases
I still use a carter big kid. The release in the picture with the middle finger trigger TO ME was the most awful thing I ever shot. It just would not work for me. I could never get my middle finger trained to stay off that trigger position. Ever time I would draw, my middle finger would want to go straight to that trigger. I hit myself in the mouth about a dozen times and thudded plenty arrows 5 or 10 feet in front of me. Might work for you though. Everyones different. I sold mine on ebay about two weeks ago. A friend of mine also has one he's wanting to get rid of.

RE: Releases
Can he ship it? How much does he want for it?
|
RE: Releases
On the phone with him right now. Said he would take $50 for it including shipping.

RE: Releases
Does anyone else have experience with this release?

RE: Releases
Who has experience with the Jim Fletcher "Fletchunter". It looks like a really good hunting release.
|
RE: Releases
Doesn't anyone use the Scott Little Bitty Goose NCS (w/ the strap). I really love the feel and the trigger is perfect? I have trried some of the releases mentioned but they all seem bulky once I get all of my hunting gear on.
Just My Opinion Thanks Jeff |
RE: Releases
I use a tru fire patriot that I got at dicks for $17. I'ts the only release Ive every used and it works great. I cant imagine anything better.
I'll add that I use a tru nok metal string loop, which I think is awesome. It may have something to do with why a cheap release works so wel for me. I'll also add that the one I have looks a little different than the one on the web site. I think it is last years or older model. So maybe they dont make em like they used to. |
RE: Releases
I used to use that release. In my opinion it is a peice of crap. I used it a couple times and then the jaws wouldn't close all the way and would leave a space in between them. I replaced the bar that attaches the head to the wrist strap with a peice of rope and my groups improved. It made to much of a noise when you closed the jaws on the string loop for hunting IMO. It was bulky and was not very smooth.Maybe mine was a bad one or something. It's good that you like yours.

RE: Releases
Carter: Chocolat addiction ( 3 fingers)
Easy, confortable for good size hands, quick to snap and lock the loop and is ajustablein many different ways to fit your hand.. Only downside: 250$ CDN:D |
RE: Releases
How do you like the thumb trigger. I have never used one. I really like the Chocolate Lite 3 finger. I just don't know how accurate a thumb trigger could be using back tension style form.
|
RE: Releases
I like it alot.
The difference beetwen the lite and the addiction is that the lite is straight and the addiction is a little curved. (depends on personnal confort.) I prefer the confort of the addiction, it molds well in my hand. Has for precision,I think most of that has to do with your shooting form. I saw someone on this forum recommend the book CORE ARCHERY by Larry Wise. Phenomanal book. Using these principles of :skeletal structure, relaxation of certain muscles, and back tension, I find that this release helps me do that and alson is user friendly for HUNTING |
RE: Releases
Trufire 3D hunter thumb release works fine for me.
|
RE: Releases
Another for Tru Ball Stinger
|
RE: Releases
tru ball chappy boss, four finger release, its awesome for 3d and hunting!!!
|
RE: Releases
I really like the Carter Chocolitereleases. I have that book Core Archery and I recomend it, it is awesome. I think Im gonna have to try the Chocolite Lite and the Chocolite Addiction to see which one feels better for me.
|
RE: Releases
If you're interested in the Carter Ember II PM me. I got it thinking I could use it as a back-up for my BK 3D but the head design is shorter causing it to change my draw/anchor a little between the two. I need to replace it with a Target4 since that's the closest they make to the BK now.
