How much would they run for a normal person? MSRP?

The ST-3 is roughly $149 MSRP and the strap is around another $30.

I was using a Carter Chocolate Addiction last year but it was just a tad bit big for my hands. I just got my Carter Chocolate Lite in today and buddy this thing is sweet! Matt you'll throw that Tru Ball in the trash if you try a Carter Chocolate Lite. I did! (Not really but I sold it rather quickly after I got my Carter)

I've shot them all and shoot various carters for competition, but still like the open hook design of the ST-3 and their modular wrist strap for hunting purposes. The chocolate and the chocolate light are great releases but just don't fit my hand well. I prefer the fit of their Just Cuz much better.

Played a little more with a Scott Longhorn Pro today. Man, the dumbest design I think I've ever seen, is having a "click" in a backtension release right before it goes off. Just my opinion, but that click kills me.

Thats because you aren't using the clicker properly. You can take apart the half moon on the release and turn it over to get rid of the click as well.

The click is the staging point in which you need to mentally flip the switch from setting up the shot to consiously aiming. At this point (the click) your subconscious should be taking over the pulling through and shot execution while your focus stays on the X.

Shot sequence with a clicker should be like this:

[ul][*]Draw[*]Anchor[*]Aquire target[*]Set release hand starting position (click)[*]Commit[*]Stare at X[*]Shot breaks[*]Finish the shot with a destination touch point w/ release hand
[/ul]

I agree, I just got one out of the package and started playing with it. Then I said that clicker has to go, so then he showed me how to fix it. I like the concept of a backtension, I'll probably own one before winter. First few shots on one are guarenteed to scare you to death [:-].



Gotta pay attention to what you're doing or your dentist will be paying attention to you [8D]

Used T handles for 20 years and never droped it or forgot it. Just got the Stan super X 4 and it's sweet.

I have to say that's one sweet looking release..

I second that, nice looking release. If it functions half as good as it looks, should be quite a piece of equipment.
