well this morning i was practicing as usual and i drew back and i didnt hit the release but it released the arrow anyway .
at first i thought i might have niked the trigger but i got another arrow and concentrated even more and i didnt hit the trigger but it sent the arrow flying again just before i got to full draw :evil: .
looks like i need a new one , any ideas ?
i would say get a new one just to be on the safe side hm

Coach, If I take the grub screw out of my release it fires under load as Hunting Maniac's is doing.
Coach once when I said you could cut an inch off an arrow and be ok you said I was irresponsable and might get sued and now you are suggesting that people should moderfy their release aids, do you think that is smart. :shock: Unless you have tried all release aids on the market and know that it is safe mabey it is best not to put this on a public forum.
Cheers KIM
Not sure what release you guys use but Hunt Boy do you have you finger behind the trigger when drawing

Coach, I stuffed up on that reply :oops:
My release is the same as yours.
About a year ago I was having trouble with my release when the grub screw worked its way out.
Normally I have mine set so there is fairly light pressure on the trigger, so when the screw worked out, I was punching the release and having my arrows pull hard right.
Adam might have twigged to the problem, maybe Hunt Boy is pulling the release back with finger on the trigger rather than behind it.

yep finger behind the trigger always untill ready to fire
, getting a new release aid of kimall :D
I have been toying with the idea of switching to thumb trigger release aid... maybee one of the true balls.
Yeah just started shooting a carter target 3... well for target and have found I am much more consistent and dont tend to punch it every now and then.
I was also looking at the TB diamond with the wrist strap. Still my budget has been used elsewhere.... just got my new/used Pro-Elite.
