Do you use a release with your recurve and/or long bow?
I have a bear recurve that my grandfather recently gave me because he couldn't pull it anymore. I was thinking of trying to take a deer with it next year. I tried to practice with it, and found it to be much more difficult than my compound - I've got a lethal range of about 5 yards!
Do you guys use a release? I have a truball that I use with my compound - the handle kind, no wrist strap - will this work? |
I tried when I first started but you just won't get any arrow ossillations with a release and most likely get feather contact with the rest.
Only way i would use a release is with a elevated rest. You need that arrow to bend around that riser. |
Thanks, bigcountry.
Why would a release affect how the arrow bends? |

Why would a release affect how the arrow bends? Here is a good video showing this. A hand release induces this bend. A mech release does not. But you have more of a up and down ossilation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzWrcpzuAp8 |
I never use a release. Good ol glove for me and bare fingers when Im hunting.
If memory serves me, I believe back in the early 80 or maybe even the late 70s, there was a trend with some target bow shooter that used old flipper releases. If you choose to use a release, retune your arrows. You will need to adjust the spine. |
I don't use a release with my recurves. I use a tab; one over, two under.

Reminds me. . .
when I got back into archery, some twenty years ago, I decided to go with a release and a compound bow.
I let those Indians keep those 19th century instruments. |
