Turkeygirl Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'm just wondering because I'm use to a release where you squeeze the trigger to open the jaws and let up to close them, I just got my Scott Shark in the mail the other day, so far love it, but I noticed if the release is not on the string, if I just open and close the jaws, one light touch to the trigger and the jaws snap right open. Now if I have the jaws on the string and there is some pressure, it's fine. I'm just wondering if this is normal for a Scott release? Guess I'm just adjusting to a new release.

Turkeygirl Posted December 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I also noticed when adjust the trigegr pressure - the heavier I go, the closer the jaws are together when open, compared to if set light, they are wider apart....

dbHunterNY Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 i don't think you're really changing the weight. you're increasing the travel/reducing the sensitivity by turning the screw clockwise and the opposite applies also. can't remember the standard settings or recommendations... it's been a while since i've fiddled with mine. that might be why you're seeing a difference in jaw spacing. the first post you made is normal. it'd take very little to open it without any tension against the string.

Straight Shooter Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 DB is correct about the travel, I have four Scott releases and the tension screw is only for the travel adjustment. This actually increases or decreases the sensitivity of the trigger pull. If you adjust it to the point beyond the roller staying in contect the jaws will not stay closed. I have all of mine adjusted just before this point, so I don't have to feel like I am yanking the trigger to get it to go off. The trigger pull being very light when not attached to the string, is only because the jaws do not have pressure applied to them. This is turn allows the jaws to open more freely, these are designed to apply counter pressure to the roller when attached to the string. Hence, you've got tighter trigger pull when at full draw.
