Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 what kind of release does everyone use? i have a scott little goose...but i have been going back and forth trying to decide if i want to try a t-handle type...kind of like the idea of just hooking it up to the bow and having it right there when you are ready to shoot. any suggestions on which one to use? i don't think i want to spend over $100 on one just yet, at least not until i decide if i like that style after using it.

Tom2008 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I'm using a Tru-Ball Stinger release right now. I might be leaning towards a Scott one soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M00N Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I use a Tru-Fire Hurricane and absolutely love it to death. Infact it's the exact one LifeNRA posted in his picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I use a Tru Ball Short and Sweet. Check out archeytalk.com in the classifieds. You can find the $100 release like you want but for half or 3/4's of the price of new and in excellent condition. Some over there like to try new types and you can really get a great deal on a like new one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I liked the theory of the handle release, but didn't like it as much as my wrist model when I used it. Casey loves the handle release and has used it for about a year. It's a Tru-ball and works very well. Lou is right about checking AT...good deals can be had there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Carter Two Shot. I always thought a light trigger on a release was the way to go. Once I started using the Two Shot, I understood why they preach a heavy, no travel trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogg6 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I use the Scott Mongoose and love it. I really doesn't take that much extra effort to hook it up before a shoot. I like the fact it is hooked to me and cannot be dropped. A buddy of mine had a handle release, hooked it on the string as he has done many times and it ended up on the ground. He has no idea what he did but it came loose, so he had to make an extra trip up and down the tree. He still uses and likes it though,now he just keeps it in his pocket until he is ready to shoot.

Straight Shooter Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I've got two Scott lil bitty goose's, I'd stick with the Scott if I was you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I tried the Scott releases today and it was a no go against the Trufire. I'm buying a used what I think is a Hurricane from the owner of the bow shop for $40. He said it was the top Trufire release 2 years ago so I'm thinking it is the hurricane.

PAstringking Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 i shoot a Cobra release from when i started into bowhunting. I LOVE IT!! i have tried others and havent found anything that feels or shoots the same. i have a Scott Sabertooth NCS that is sitting in my box because i could barely hit the paper with it. that was frustrating to say the least.

Tony Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 im using a Carter One shot wrist strap release. i have several T handle style releases i use for target shooting, but i didnt like them for hunting. i found i couldnt get a consistant anchor point when i wore my face mask like i could with my caliper release. Shoot Strong Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I shoot a wrist strap release I bought from Cabelas the trigger is set by a magnet ...
