Post by: whacker1 on August 16, 2011, 11:02:23 AM: 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.

If i had a short draw i would have bought one :twocents:

Post by: Kain on August 16, 2011, 11:19:25 AM: 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:

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

Post by: Kain on August 16, 2011, 11:28:50 AM: Looks like it is adjustable up to 3" but dang is it expensive.

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?

Post by: yakimarcher on August 16, 2011, 12:06:20 PM: 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

Post by: Kain on August 16, 2011, 12:09:54 PM: I think I will wait until for the less expensive copy comes out.

Post by: bobcat on August 16, 2011, 11:41:09 PM: 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.
