Davidmill,the problem with the Scott caliper and a loop will show itself when using some of the smaller loop material.I have had this happen to me as well as some people that I know.If you are using the heavier loop material then it will most likely not happen.They make an excellent release but if you look at their caliper heads when closed you will notice a slight gap and believe it or not a loop can slide through it.I know a person that chipped his tooth because of this.

I' m not trying to bash their releases,I actually really like them(more than most).Just something that can happen.

I shoot the relax to fire . . . and you need to adjust the trigger pull to the lightest possible adjustment that still holds the string as you draw. I did have one problem, I need to check the jaws on my release because the jaws don' t always lock down right. I don' t know whether it is just me or my release is old and worn or what. It took me some time to learn but I complicated the learning curve by learning to do more than one new thing at a time.

So I' d like to offer a piece of advice. Learn to use the release in the pull trigger to fire. Once you are comfortable with it. Then switch to the relax to fire.

Work on learning ONE NEW THING at a time.

I agree with you on pitching the release. As you have experienced, this is just one more thing to go wrong when the shot of a lifetime appears 20 yards from your stand. I tried the Cascade release and shot it well, but just enjoy fingers shooting. Maybe someday my fingers will not work like the do now and a change must be made. At this time, I' m very satisfied with my accuracy shooting the basics.

Guys I never touched the sensitivity screw on the release at all. I test drew it a few times after I put the loop on, arrow nocked too of course. But I' ll try the adjustment screw. I like the testing of using weights, rope, and loop. Saves my face!!! See if that makes a difference. I just never figured Tru-Fire would have a release preset to a light sensitivity. I only draw 60lbs. I still haven' t recieved a return e-mail from them yet. But I' ll play with the adjustment screw, and if the relax mode still malfunctions I' ll give them a buzz.
