What Would You Hate to See?
Along the lines of my "overkill" thread, what would be the item on your rig (again, release to other end of arrow) that you have had fail more than any other item? (possibly causing wounded or lost animal)
No innuendo here guys, just studying.

RE: What Would You Hate to See?
I've never had an equipment failure during a hunting situation.
I had a couple issues during practice when i first went to a loop.Loop pulling thru jaws of release, and/or the loop pulling free.
Went to better material and learned how to properly tie one nad never had an issue since.

Well bawana, if you had not put her between your arrow and release in the first place that might not have happened.[:-]

RE: What Would You Hate to See?
I can't speak for myself being I shoot a recurve but a few times here and there I've seen it first hand where when we were shooting league the guy's who used releases had them go off unexpected. I've had friends also who have been hunting and they claim there release went off without them triggering it. To me releases would be the biggest worry in my head when it comes to gadgets. Your fingers never lie!!!

Maybe you should have went "pure back tension".
We never got to seeing eye to eye on that release stuff.[]
