New release advice
 

Right now I shoot a trufire hurricane and even with it screwed all the way in I still find myself reaching for the trigger. Can anyone recommend a good shorter release? Would a back tension release be better than a trigger? I think I would definitely want to stay with a wrist strap style though. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks, John

I shoot a Carter Quickie 2 Plus...I've tried lots of others. The Quickie is the smoothest and quietest for me. You won't be disappointed.

i shoot a cobra green mamba. i never thought I would have cobra anything, but it is really a great release. Adjustable length (goes VERY short) and adjustable trigger pull. leather buckle strap and great quality.

I use the Scott Wildcat with a buckle. Very compact and works great.

First off, the hurricane is a tru FIRE release...not truball.....

If you are shooting w/ a rope loop, get a release w/ smaller jaws, such as the truball Titan or copperhead.

Absolutely correct sir, that is what I meant. I have this unexplainable gap between my brain and my fingers when it comes to typing.

Believe me when I tell you I understand......COMPLETELY! :eek:[&o]

check out scott.

I just switched to a sabertooth and love it.

wow, i've got the same release and if feels incredibly short to me and i'm not someone with freakishly long hands/finger or anything (can't palm a basketball), i like this release so far, has a nice smooth feel and seems built very well... do you need your finger to wrap all the way around the trigger?? mine hit between the first and second knuckle (a touch closer to the first)... maybe it has to do with where you are strappin it up at? just wonderin...

RE: New release advice
 

I'm not a big man by any means. I have the buckle strap and the tightest I can put it is the 3rd to last hole. Even with it this tight I'm always hitting it with the first section of my pointer. No matter what I do, I cant get it to fall between the 1st and 2nd knuckle.

what i was gettin at is that maybe you're strappin it up to low on your wrist... maybe it needs to come back a little toward your elbow... a thought anyway... but then again, maybe a shorter release is something you need... i guess i'm just cheap, i hate spendin money more than once, I'm one of those that "can't afford to buy cheap stuff", just absolutely hate havin to buy things two or three times to get the right one... rather spend good money up front and not have to deal with the aggravation of that stuff... when i bought my hurricane I got to try it out and get it adjusted before I said "ok" to it...

RE: New release advice
 

I'm pretty much the same way. If I was bleeding to death, I'd use my shirt rather than buy a bandage, but if there's a new whositwhatsit thats going to help me kill deer, ski, or make my sled run better, sign me up for full retail. Wife hates it.

RE: New release advice
 

ya, i have my vices as well... but they are always well researched, particularly with regards to my sled...

A short and Sweet II is an awesome little release that goes REAL short.

I have kid hands and wear it up near the palm of my hand and can get my finger wrapped over it.Wrist release cut off the circulation if I wear them all the way down on my wrist like you are supposed to.:eek:

Check out the 3rd shot.

Mine is a little different but this one goes just as short.Mine actually has a rope that attaches it to the strap.

Trigger releases that fit like a glove that provide security in the palm of your hand work the best for me. I still have my 8 year old free flight release.

RE: New release advice

RE: New release advice
 

Free Flight Release...Mine is 8 years old..a trigger glove release with support in the palm of my hand...
