Mechanical Release advice
I was curious to see what mech. releases different ones of you use and recommend? I'd like to use a trigger style with a wristband attached. Also which is better a caliper style or ball bearing style release? Thanks!!

RE: Mechanical Release advice
I can't tell you what is best for you, but I would stay away from the "ball bearing" types. They realy do a number on servings. I personaly realy like The Scott mongoose, I have tried many differnt release aids, and the mongoose works the best for me.

I bought a cheap release first time. Don't do that. I now have a Scott 'lil goose & love it. It's just like the mongoose, but a little shorter. You can adjust the length & trigger. Very smooth release.

I would take pdq's advice and not get something cheap. Here is what I use.

RE: Mechanical Release advice
I bought the cheapest caliper release that Cobra made for my first year with a bow. I didn't want to invest a lot in case I didn't like bowhunting. Now, two seasons later it is still functional but has lost any smoothness that it might have once had.
