If your bow is adjustable (2 inches longer) and you can shoot the new release without a reduction in accuracy....why not.

I know a Guy who shoots one and he shoots it well.  He shoots a lot of 3-D shoots and does really well at most of them.

I am intrigued.  As long as you comfortable with the release style.  You would gain not only the speed, but also the increase energy, and mass in a 2 inch heavier arrow.

When I first saw this release i figured it was a gimmick, but after shooting a few rounds with it with a 1.5" longer draw I was very impressed!
If i had a short draw i would have bought one :twocents:

I was thinking the same.  I am shooting 29" dl.  My bow does not go up to 31 so Im not sure I could use this.  I am shooting longer arrows just so that I am at legal weight.  It would be nice to get the extra speed benefit from a dl that matches my arrows.

So you aren't interested in shooting 35 inch spears?   :chuckle:

 :yeah:
that would put me at a 32inch draw so would it still be bow hunting or assested javelin hunting?

I knew it was too good to be true.  $199 for a release.  I think I have about $40-60 into my Scott release. 

But they make the release in 1, 2, and 3 inch versions for those that are interested.  Could be great for Women and some youth?

Adding 2 inches of draw will give you the 20 feet per sec. Not the release. Might just make it more comfortable for the shooter?

I already shoot 30" draw, but i think my bow goes upto 32, it may be worth checking out, but at that price you may be better off selling your bow and using the extra cash to get a faster bow, or just crank up the draw weight. my point being that there are cheaper/more practical ways go get 20 fps

I like that. If I get more serious into archery hunting next year I just might have to invest in one of those. With me being at only about a 26 1/2 inch draw length, a couple extra inches could sure help my arrow speed. Right now it just wouldn't be worth the money for me. I'm not even shooting past 30 yards so I think at that range my slow arrows will do just fine. But if I decide to switch to archery for elk next year I'll be thinking about it really hard.
