My first year bow hunting when I was 16, left the truck in the morning and set off into the woods. 30 mins later I was broadside to 4 cows and 2 spikes at 20-40 yards and realized I left my release behind. I sat there for 5 mins deciding wether or not to shoot fingers and decided against it. It happens. Now I put it on whenever I'm in my camo.
I switched to a Thumb release last year, the tru ball absolute 360, and a Tru ball back tension release. my reason for switching was to help some target panic issues I was dealing with. Back tension pretty much eliminated the problem. As far as it helping to not lose it while in the woods it does nothing. I've hunted with a wrist strap style releases for years and was always used to feeling it there. Now im using the thumb release and keep it in my pocket. IMO its easier to forget the thumb release vs a wrist strap style.
Paulie is making his own release? I ddin't know that. I knew he made his own tree stand, table for camp, that extension thingie on his boat motor..He has some skills.
