Great for target shooting, I guess.... Though when I asked this bunch about using them for hunting, I got a whole handful of thumbs 'down'....

So how do you let down with one of these? Get back on the trigger, or... :confused:

I don't know why such a release aid would be unacceptable for hunting... the squeeze me is a hunting model...

Designed after the sleek shape of the NEW IMPROVED Back Strap this innovative resistance activated release shoots in the reverse order. Just draw to anchor, press the trigger and then just pull to activate. Your shot will go off with bow weight. No punching, no panic! For a full range of pulling weight the springs can be changed by using our unique Interchangeable Tension System (I.T.S.). To let down release pressure on your index finger, engage safety with your middle finger and let down. It is sold with the popular Scott Archery Buckle Strap. Get your hands on a Squeeze Me for that perfect shot and a happy smile

I shoot a 3 finger release. It can be set to pull the trigger rather than the thumb push, but I don't think it is the same as what you are talking about.

I use this because I used to be a finger shooter back in the late 80's, the days of the PSE Carrol Intruder. When I converted, I chose this because I still get to use my three fingers. A semi-natural transition.

the shooter's pulling tension so many pounds above the peak weight of the bow activates the release.. this is a true tension activated release I'd love to try one out. Carter makes first class release aids and they have a price tag to match

the price of quality archery gear is a factor for sure. :D

There's a certain attraction to mastering something new but when what I use works so well for me, I just can't see switching or even trying something else, ... let alone paying not a cheap price to play. :rolleyes:

I dunno. I'm at a point where I doan need to shoot better. I just need to shoot often enough to stay in the groove, something I'm kinda slack on during fishing season.

This time of year if I got two hours of daylight left when I get off work, I'll hook to the boat rather than shoot the bow. :D

So how early do you have to start in order to get home with a couple hours of daylight left? :rolleyes:

O' dark thirty, I'd guess, but maybe there are certain guidelines for how early you start bangin' on da roof!

Trouble around here is that the fish are still out in the deep water - 40-60 feet or more - and we can only get out on the water about half the time, 'cuz the tide keeps going in and out.

O' course last night, it was damngood'n'dark when I got home anyway...:p

Depends on weather, work load, what I'm gettin into, and MOSTLY, how sore I am from the previous day. :D

After splittin 3 cords of wood tuesday, I'm still plenty sore. :o

3 cords!!! Good Lord. I'm sore hearing about it. I still use a maul though.:eek:

I'm with you on the fishing (or other stuff) at this time of year over bow shooting. Some bowhunting friends give me grief that I don't practice year round like they do, but once you've been shooting for a decade or more, you're form is pretty well set, imo and what you're practicing for is strength and concentration.
