It's made a huge difference in my groups. But it does make a pretty loud click when cocked and fired. Whats everyone else using?

Not had a problem with a click. I like it, you do have to follow the directions on set up or you will end up punching yourself in the face!

Recurve.

I'd like to get a Howard Hill longbow, but that will have to wait a bit.

I've been using the TruBall "The Beast" Bone Collector. Best release i've ever used. Got rid of the Scott Mongoose.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I want to try a hook release next, like the Tru Ball "The Beast" or Scott Silverhorn. The hook design is supposed to give you the cleanest and quietest arrow release of all. Plus they say you can hook it to your loop by feel without taking your eyes off the deer.

Good release but I tried one of the Tru Fire Hardcore hook releases recently and liked it better. I really want a thumb release like a Carter. I've tried a couple and I think it would be easy to improve my shooting with one. Just gotta save up my pennies.

Interesting... mine is sitting right here, and I just picked it up and gave it a shake, and there wasn't any rattling unless I shook it hard enough to make the head come away from the post... maybe you should write to Tru-Fire? I just put it on, held it, shook it... no rattling. I would get up with them. :)
