TRU-FIRE Bow Releases

man, this product is amazing! I love taking it out and getting to shoot with it. this also is not at all intended (I assume) but as a KC chief fan, the arrowhead logo always gets me in the mood for victory and bulleye's! I keep it in my bow case so it is always ready for me whenever I take my bow out. I love it and it was well worth it! its extremely adjustable and ultra-reliable!

This is a nice release. I was using this release this season when I killed my buck. I was so excited about the kill, that I ended up leaving this in the woods. I took it off to gut the deer and forget to get it when I drug the deer out. I was never able to find it but I did by a replacement. It fits good and the trigger is very nice. There are other releases on the market that are probably much nicer and definitely more expensive. For me this release is a great value, and it works great. No need to spend a ton of money on a more expensive one.

Had the strap of my new Trophy Ridge ArchX (that came with Bear Species RTH Extra package) come loose from the release part sending it somewhere in my back yard as I pulled back, not sure how it happened as I only adjusted the length and never messed with how it was threaded....Anyway, needed a quick replacement to help start tuning new bow and this was same day delivery available so I ordered it....It works fine, I definitely like it can rotate being a lefty. Only issue I didn't care for was the sensitivity of the lever on pull back, and the fact when putting it on the D-loop ANY amount of touching the lever caused it to come off. There is no comforting "click" letting you know the clasps are closed around the D-loop....The flip side is I do like the quickness of the lever release, there is no lag, so once you're on your target, touch the release lever and off she goes....Like the velcro strap vs. buckle as well....Fyi, one thing I agree with others have mentioned, this is not for bigger wrists/hands, there is no adjusting the length from the strap to the release. It's a fixed length and you can only "adjust" the length in to your hand by loosening the velcro strap and allowing it to slide further into your hand....I have smaller wrists and hands so it wasn't an issue, but can see how it could be....I will be buying a different one for actual hunting though as the sensitive nature of it and the lack of knowing it's locked on the D-loop is too unnerving to trust in a tree stand, at least for me....but pretty nice release for the money, but could be great with a few improvements.

I read all the reviews prior to purchasing this release aid. Many of the reviews lead you to believe that the quality control may be lacking, causing the release aid to misfire.Welp, when I received mine, I read all the instructions - set the tension properly (instructions were included) for a 70-pound draw weight on my compound bow. The release aid functioned perfectly...for the first 20 or 25 arrows. And then I had my first misfire - the release aid let the arrow fly with the bow half-drawn. At first, I thought maybe that I accidentally hit the trigger during the draw. So I tried again, and another misfire. Each successive arrow after that misfired more and more quickly.So I took the release aid apart, to try to diagnose the problem. I didn't find anything, so I reassembled the release aid. It functioned flawlessly again for the first 20 to 25 arrows, and then the same thing started to happen again.For those of you who are experience misfires...here is what is happening. Per the instructions, to set the tension, you pull the trigger to the rear and expose the screw in the back. Then turn clockwise or counter-clockwise until you reach your desired max tension. Tighten the screw back up, and you're in business. What the instructions do NOT tell you is that each time you attach the swivel head to your D-loop, the 360-degree rotating head turns. Each successive time your clip on to your D-loop, the swivel head turns again. Shoot enough times, and the swivel head has turned so many times that the jaws WILL loosen up. And then you'll have a misfire.Once you realize that this is what is happening, it becomes second nature to just check it / turn the head with your fingers after each shot. You really don't need to do it after every shot, but it'll become a force of habit to check. So if you're currently experiencing misfires with this release aid - pick up your release aid, do not depress the trigger or anything else, use your fingers to turn the swivel head clockwise until it stops. No need to loosen any screws or anything else. If you do that before you shoot, it will work flawlessly, reliably, and you'll never have another misfire.If yours seems to be noisy, a little WD-40 will fix that right up. I did not receive anything from the manufacturer for this review. Tru-Fire should really put this in their instructions - it would help out their reviews immeasurably. Hope this helps someone. Be safe out there.
