Release Advise, Please...

OSOK · Jul 27, 2005

Well,

It's now a month until the opener. And like always I decided to change the set up with ample time to figure things out!

Changed over to a D loop. Modified my Scott ol' faithful release by removing the rope and dremeling a half moon into the part that holds the string. After messing with it for sometime, I've come to the conclusion that this won't work.

So, who makes a nice clean, crisp, adjustable to hair setting, trigger that has little to no travel?

I'm all ears!

Thanks...

Tru Ball makes some of the best IMO. Take a look at the new Copperhead or some of last years stuff. Stinger, Cyclone, etc. Good luck!

What's up O!

I would pick up a scott little goose. Nice small head, crisp adjustable trigger. Not all big and clunky. I use it for everything from 3D to indoor shoots and it works perfectly.

Hope the draws treated you well...

Good luck partner.......

I also shoot the Scott Lil Goose and love it for the same reasons Larry just mentioned. Its a good solid release.

Trent:

Looks like you got some good advice. I'm still in shock that you're finally dusting off that bow of yours. Heck it even brought Larry back into the archery section.

Another vote for the Lil Goose. Now get out there and collect some points Trent. ;-)

Can you give any advice on the "Little Bitty Goose" release that Cabela's has? Or should I just be looking for the "Little Goose" release?
Little Bitty Goose @ Cabela's $64.99
Little Goose @ Obsession Archery Supply $58.00

Since you're in the process of changing and are soliciting recommendations, thought I'd give you my opinion, based on some recent testing I did. I shot the Scott Wildcat (single caliper) and Sabretooth (dual caliper) releases. I preferred the Wildcat over the Sabretooth, but only by a bit. I really liked the forward positioning of the trigger, which saved me a bit in draw length (rearward-positioned triggers cause you to lose up to an inch of draw length). And, although I shot all three models of both releases (solid rod, NCS and RCS), I greatly preferred the NCS, or "Nylon Connection System" model. The NCS attaches the head of the release to the wrist strap with a highly-adjustable nylon strap that flexes and rotates freely, allowing for almost any hand position, but giving you a very clean, straight-ahead release. I shot as well with the Wildcat NCS as I do with any "target" release. Good luck!
