Rammer, If you need to extend it out more try the Scott Wolf. It has an adjustable head length and you can loosen the wrist strap a bit to get even more reach if you need.

I love the wildcat too. I might not buy another release until this one takes a dump on me, which i'm sure it will be a long time.:D

The WildCat is awesome I had to go get another to keep handy as the back up. Wife not happy!

Rob,
If you look closely they are actually quite different.......the easiest way to tell is the location of the trigger in relation to the jaws. I think the Copperhead trigger lays 1/2" or more farther back than the Wildcat, and the swept trigger design exaggerates the loaction even further.

The proximity of the trigger on the Wildcat allows you to maximize the bow's powerstroke by not having to drop down in draw length to accomodate the addition of a loop and maintain a proper anchor.
Believe it or not with a loop specific release and a properly tied shallow string loop it's possible to actually INCREASE your bows draw length and still maintain a proper anchor.

Long gawky loops and long barreled releases are a horrible combination for proper fit.

(The trigger on the Wildcat is better too ;))

We'll play around with different stuff when we get together, but until then, consider what I'm saying and look at your set up........with that long loop you have and a release that is already giving up hand position you aren't getting the most out of that bow that you could and still maintain a proper anchor.

Plus a short solid loop connection just FEELS more solid and consistent.

We'll play, you know this bow and it's loop are new to me....I suppose you can teach an old dog new tricks...so, what are you doing tomorrow?;)

I use the most reliable release anyone can have my fingers. Im a fingers shooter.

I use an old Cobra Armstrong glove release for hunting. I like it because its a glove and fits pretty good and the arm swings down so you can tuck it in a long sleeve and its out of the way but easily pulled out and you can climb or handle stuff with the glove on. I also have a Cobra strap with the swing away arm and its o.k. but the butt where the arm attaches still sticks out and kind of bugs me when its bumping stuff, etc.
