ADJUST IT.WHEN YOUR READ THE RESPONSES IT MAKES YOU WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE JUST TRYING TO ADD ANOTHER POST TO THE GRAND TOTAL OF POSTS THEY HAVE!?WHAT?--JUMP OFF THAT BRIDGE?--YEAH WHY NOT?J.K.ANYWAY--BACK TO THE ADJUSTING--MOST BRANDS OF RELEASES HAVE YOU ADJUST OUT UNTIL AN ACCIDENTAL RELEASE--I THINK THAT TOO MUCH HOLDING POWER IS BETTER THAN NOT ENOUGH.

Many good releases. For some reason I am not comfortable with the Scott. I love the Carter Lokjaw 2000(wider jaw than the original). It has a safety that I really like. It goes off very smoothly.

I think the Fletcher releases are overlooked, they have been around a long time.

Can't go wrong with the Scott Mongoose. I have used one now for 3 or 4 years.

I started off with fingers, but as my draw weight incresed, so did the beating on my fingers so I swiched to a tru fire caliper release. It was a medium sensitivity trigger. I kept pulling shots with it, so, I decided to give the cheap 6 dollar tru fire releases that you fire with your thumb a try and man, it amazed me. I didn't pull the shots at all.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)
