    Re: releases

    Yes I have. I was hunting whitetail in the late season and it was colder than.. well it was cold. I was hunkered down in some bush waiting for the little buggers to show themselves. I noticed a few branches in my way so I removed them by breaking them down at ground level. It came to my attention that I had released my release from the confines of my warm hand and it was now dangling in the snow. My release froze up instantly. I tried to warm it in my hand and blow the moisture out. I then affixed it to my string and held my finger on the back of the trigger. The deer started to appear and I had a fine selection of does to harvest and settled on a chubby one less than 20 yds away. I was in the process of drawing my bow when the release released. The arrow went a good 10 feet and the bush erupted with flags and pink eye.

    When I converted to the short and sweet after fingers for 15 yrs.. I left the damn thing back at the truck about six times.. not the thing you want about 2 miles back working a big bull... got a system now... only positive thing is having shot fingers forever.. I was ok with doing that.. yardage confidence was quite a bit shorter mostly due to bow setup fingers vs release. Tried a cobra.... love the short n sweet..

This is the reason I usally try to draw back on target, I have seen too many people "shoot for the stars" when drawing and can only imagine where the arrow would go during a 3d shoot or backyard event.

    Hmmmm....heard the exact same thing happen to a guy that I know. Possibly same guy?? Did you have to drive around the neighbourhood looking for his arrow??
