I presently use a Scott Little Bitty Goose which I like but they came out with a new twin caliper one ( Wildcat I believe ) with the trigger much closer to the front and jaws. I was thinking of going back to shooting off the string and getting rid of my loop and think this would be a better setup. My question is what effect would the twin caliper have over the single ?

nothing but ithink ia double both jaws move and a singlethe one moves to close it

terry, why would you get rid of your loop?

Because he can LOL

Because I am finding its just something else that takes a little attention and time to attach to compared to shooting off the string. I would also go back to a 27" module which would also gain me a few FPS which at my short draw is always a bonus. Feel free to try and talk me out of it, I wouldn't switch until after hunting season though.

I shoot a mongoose, which is also single caliper, right off the string. I think there's less string wear than with a double caliper.

ok, i will. i bet you're using a wrist strap release aren't you. want to keep the loop and your 1/2" of draw? check out the truball sabretooth handheld. or the extreme. it has to be the extreme for hunting that you don't have to cock. the pro-diamond will leave you 'anchoring' in about the same place as your wrist strap, but the 2 mentioned above will save you what you feel like the loop is costing you. i can get you a deal.

Terry,
You're going to go from a Long barreled rearward trigger release off a string loop, to a short head, extreme forward trigger off the string?
Holy change in anchor point batman.[:-]

IMO opinion most long barreled releases and loops make for a crappy fit.
The new breed of short forward triggers (Like the Wildcat) and a nice short loop are just right. No need for long crazy loops, tie it short, combine it with the Wildcat and that's about right. assuming you have the correct draw length to start.

By going to the extreme and saying you'll shoot that loop release (and that's what it is) off the string and adding a higher length module is going to create problems with a proper anchor. It will probably feel like crap because you to get a good repeatable anchor you will now wind up with a bowstring that is jammed back into your face.

Wildcat + Short string loop = good.

i just can't figure out why anyone shoots a wrist strap. talk about a weird anchor.

The Wildcat is the one I was thinking of. As for draw length I am 27" but when I tried a loop for the first time felt it was a little long so dropped down to a 26" module.Also I kept reading eveywhere that a shorter DL bow is better and most people are overdrawn length wise. I think part of my problem is my loop is too long but as already said I am tuned perfectly and with a hunt coming in 2 weeks ( bear ) I won't change anything now , only after the season.
