kwp Report post Posted February 1, 2005 I have one of the cheaper releases that I got for Christmas and today it started to prematurely release. Did it three times in a row in the middle of my draw. Managed to bloody my nose so I've decided I better get a new higher end one. So what brand and model are you guys and gals shooting and what are their pros and cons? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azpackhorse Report post Posted February 1, 2005 I use a SCOTT model Wolf, it has the velcro strap. I've used it for around 7 years without any trouble at all and I have beat the crap out of it. They run about $70. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Scott is a reliable brand and I have heard good things about that release. I personally have used a truefire for the last 8 years or so and have never had an issue w/ it. I would not recomment the walmart cheapy releases though.

runningbird Report post Posted February 1, 2005 get a scott, you can't go wrong with any of their models. I use velcro straps, they are all a double strap. you do not have to worry about them coming off. the trigger through is also adjustable,and you should adjust it to you. the ONLY good release is the one you don't EVER think about......

Arizonabowhunter Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Maxim Stanislawski release (back tension). I have been fighting target panic for a very long time and this releas has helped me tremedously. It is hard to use but once you get use to it, it is a surprise every time you shoot it. They range from $80 to $100 and have only replaced it once. Target shooters use this type of release alot.

coues addict Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Arizonabowhunter I use a Tru ball tornado and works just great. Trigger pull is adjustable and has camo velcro wrist strap.I also know that the manufactures are Christian`s and that means a lot to me!

Red Rabbit Report post Posted February 2, 2005 I purchased a Scott Mongoose with the velcro strap about 13 years ago. I shot about 200 days a year for 10 of those years, and have not had a problem with the release or velcro. Last year, I got a Scott Itty-Bitty Goose with the NCS system and velcro strap. I like the lighter weight and strap attachment to the release head. Doug~Red Rabbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
