Since many don't know how to properly install, hold or use wrist style releases, anchor points sometimes become almost mute.
Len, please explain how you installand holdawrist stylerelease. My thinking is you strap the release onthe way it is intended to go your wrist to draw the bowand hold the release in a natural way that allows you to trip the trigger. What am I missing here?

Len
I too would like to hear your thoughts on wrist releases. That is what I sue and feel the most comfort with.

Many leave them way to loose and don't adjust the length properly so the release is too far forward to get the trigger finger in a position to execute a backtension release correctly. Many also set the trigger waaay to light as well.

I won't go into detail in the hopes that Len or Arthur will explain it better than I can. I don't use backtension when I use a wrist release so it would be hard for me explain well. However I understand what he is saying

Gibblet should be able to explain it as well I think, Haven't seen him around since I came back though?

Thanks Paul. Funny, I just adjusted my releaseThursday to be longer as it was in it's shortest form and all the while I thought it was adjusted to it's max lenth. I had just switched from the WinnFree and was about to go back to it. I'm now shooting the wrist release with only mytrigger fingeron the release and groups have become tighter.
