Scott single caliper issue

[jackelope]

The release would literally not unhook from the loop. I've shot several hundred arrows exactly the same way and not had a problem with this release and the Scott guy told me it was an issue with that release. I'm not trying to give you a hard time..,,please don't take it that way. I say that because if I really have a form issue I want to get to the bottom of it. There's several instances of this issue to be found online also. I shoot another release equally as much without any issue too. Dunno. Maybe I need to have someone watch me shoot who knows what they're doing. I am completely self taught so anything is possible.

No worries here.  So was the delayed release what caused the fliers?  Maybe I misunderstood why you were launching arrows off.

This is a hard habit to diagnose, but a release that sticks is a very good indicator.  Kind of like firing your shotgun on an empty chamber and watching the muzzle drop a foot

You can shoot good groups when you punch the trigger, but it can eventually morph into pure target panic.  Shoot some arrows with your eyes closed, about three feet and see if the release surprises you.

Yes, delayed release=flyers. Pull the trigger, arrow goes nowhere...what the heck?! Slightest movement launches arrow. All that happens a fraction of a second.

I was able to reproduce the hangup just by hooking the release up and pull the string back just enough to put a little tension on it, pull trigger, hang fire.

Did you try not grippnig the shank of the release?? On single calipers it is possible to be putting outside pressure on the static jaw of release and torquing it enough so the loop cant slide free of the release. I have been using a Scott Sabertooth with dual caliper. Love the forward trigger to maximize velocity and draw length and its narrow jaw head. Plus the polished stainless jaws are less prone to damage due to say, hitting it on a something hard. Will not flack anodizing or nick near as easily.

Jackolope I had the same problem and mine went back for good !

It's a tiny little release. I don't hold the shank of the release.
The release was screwed up. It's gone back to scott and a new dual caliper is on its way.

I think you'll be much happier with that dual caliper.  I ran a shark for years, and it's still a very trusty back up.
