Hunting Release
It has been a couple of weeks since I had the chance to shoot my bow. I cannot find my release, don't ask because I don't know how I could have lost it. I usually just wrap it around my bow but being an ole fart, I just don't know.
This release will be for pratice and hunting. It is possible that I use it a couple of times for 3-D but doubtful.
So which ones should I look at. I'm not even sure what my last one was. I just think I want an adjustable double.
If it matters my draw length is 27" and the bow is an 03 BowTech Pro40 Dually with 60lb limbs.

RE: Hunting Release
I just picked up a Tru Ball tornado glove and am pretty inpressed by how smoothly it shoots. I've shot cobra, jim fletcher and now the truball and hands down the truball is the smoothest release I've shot.
To anyone who has shot a truball and switched. What did you switch to and do you like it better? I'm forever trying to find the best gear and am pretty confidednt I have found the best in the tru ball but am open to suggestions.

RE: Hunting Release
Anything by Carter, TruBall or Scott is quality equipment and you cannot go wrong with any of their models.
I use a Carter One shot & Two shot, as well as a Scott Rhino. I'm going to be giving a Tru-Ball Short & Sweet a go soon enough.

RE: Hunting Release
Tru Fire hurricane glove or a Winn release.
IMO the glove style releases are so much more comfortable than the wrist strap style. The glove distributes the pressure over your entire hand VS. concentrating it all on the left and right side of your wrist.
Give them a try I think you will really like them as I did. I absolutely refuse to use a wrist strap release any more. I have tried to go back to them but they don't hold a candle to the glove for comfort.

RE: Hunting Release
I recently switched from a tru ball loop master to a tru ball short and sweet. I didn't realize a release had so much to do with accuracy. My groups shrinked nearly in half. I am very happy with the short-n-sweet!

RE: Hunting Release
Look at your hand. Those things growing off the end of your palm... They're called 'fingers'. They're the very best hunting release ever invented.
Shooting a 40" bow at 27" draw length, you don't need a hundred dollah release. You need a $20 flipper rest and a $5 tab.
