Dont know if this has been done before/recently but im in the market for a new hunting release aid and have no idea which one to get .At the moment I clip onto the serving but will be using a d loop in the future.I lost my release earler in the week and am spewing cause i have 4 days off and cant go bowhunting without one thanks.

i have a scott im fairly sure....its a claw one...scott make quality realeases...really nice trigger...can adjust the touchyness...the only thing is that its a little shorter than my other one so it takes a bit of getting used to...
cheers,

I use a tru-ball caliper release that clips directly onto my string.
It is heaps faster than trying to clip onto a d-loop...

I have the same release, i believe its suitable for all bows up to 100lb's
How ever your not getting the most out of ur release aid if your not using a D-loop the guy told me at the archery shop, Best to just get one its 6$ they put it on for you etc, best thing to get thumbs up for this release aid, all conditions in the bush, your D-loop breaks you can attack directly to the string.

My son and I both use an "Scott Itty Bitty Goose", have had no problems and if one of use forgets his release we can borrow each others whilst out hunting etc.

For the "D" Loop I just buy 2.5mm venetian blind cord from the hardware store and tie my own loops. Here is a link that shows you how.

I think there is also a how too in the Tech section of TBGA website.

A mate told me if you if you use super glue on the loop part of the D after you tie it, it will stiffen the D shape so that it is easier to clip your release aid to. I have not done it to mine yet but I am planning to.

I use a Fletcher .44 Caliper. Nice release for a good price...

Me and my mates use scott sharks and they have given years of service without fault.

Did I mention my tru ball is over 15 years old and still going strong? I have the exact same release as a back up.
My draw length is only 25 1/2" now, thats why I dont use a d-loop...

Cant go wrong with Scotts range of releases, they are a bit more expensive than some, but they are quality and thats what your paying for.
