Release Shooters?

[Loggy]

What release do you use?

I tried several of the Cobras but ended up with the Winn Free Flight. A high quality release plus you can buy replacement wrist piece if wears out. I have the caliper model. See they now have a brushed SS model. Price bout same whut I paid bout 5 years ago...$50-$60 range.

Scott Mongoose with the nylon connection system for adjusting the length. A very good release.

I use a T.R.U. BALL STINGER with a buckle strap

The release I use is called The Avswer bought it several years ago and when set up properly you have to have a smooth triger control for it to go off.

Cheap, WalMart Cobra for me. I have to work at it not to yank the trigger.

 

[ABinMD]

You're right Loggy, I use the Winn Free Flight also, it is the best I've ever tried. Mine is the hook version instead of the caliper, with adjustable trigger pull. A crisp quiet release you just can't beat!

 

[Loggy]

AB, never tried the hook version but know alot of guys like it.

I use a T.R.U. Ball Short-n-sweet. It has an open head that loads really quick and has an awesome crisp adjustable trigger. Awesome release! I highly recomend it.

Mine has two names on it. One is Tru-fire and on the other side is Split-fire.
Was a medium priced release and served me well last season, 2 shots, 2 deer. The trigger pull is adjustable.

Very interesting, after about 2 months Thread duration & approx 100 reads. I never would of guessed that there were so very few release users & so may finger shooters out there.

I shoot a Jim Fletcher Fletchhunter wrist strap, and I have a Carter 3D Target. I really like the Fletchhunter, and have used the same release for the past 15 years and it still works like a charm. Easily adjusted from heavy to hair trigger, and tucks away nicely when you want to climp a tree and need to not have a release buckled to the palm of your hand. I may give the Winn Free flight another try. I tried on a few years back but ended up giving it to a friend who needed a release since I had the Fletchhunter. He loves it, and I think they make great releases. Gives you bit more draw length, which for me is important since I have a short 27.5" draw length.

loggy I shoot a scott caliper release for shooting targets but I shoot bare fingers or a wool military glove liner to hunt with. I just feel like I have better control of my bow when things start happening fast. Plus I never left them in the truck.

I use a Cobra release like the one pictured above... great release and has been flawless for many years now. I know when I bought it, I kind of hated paying what I did for it since there were many less expensive ones out there, but I now am glad I went with the Cobra. It was recommended by a fellow that shoots and owns his own bow store/range. He is also the one that set my bow and matched the arrows to it. A nice outfit overall.

I used to shoot a Scott little goose, then I switched to a Carter Insatiable 2. You can not ask for a better trigger on this thing and it is alot easier for me to use as a form of a back tension release

 

[redfish]

Scott Itty Bitty Goose NCS

 

[bloodtrail1]

I am shooting a Carter Chocolate Addiction and a Carter Just Cuz.
Also have a Cater 2 shot that I used to shoot but right now it is a back up.
I shoot the thumb trigger releases better.

 

[gshunter]

I use a Scott wolf model, with buckle strap, have another older one for a backup.

 

[Mountain Man]

I've got one of the T.R.U. caliper models. I've used it for four seasons now. I'll probably upgrade at some point, unless I go back to shooting a recurve and cedar arrows instinctive and without a release. Decisions, decisions...

 

[Hunt 4 Bucks]

I agree Loggy, the Winn Free Flight release is the one I have using for 11 years now.

I was a fingers only shooter for first 24 years, this release made the conversion easier. I also need to have the support wrist band replaced, but hate to because its broke in like an old pair of jeans.

 

[yoyodoc]

copperhead. works well. made the change from fingers last season because of tendinitis.
