| This will be my first year bowhunting and Im also very excited. Do you have a string loop behind your arrow or are you clipping straight onto the string. If you are going in a loop you want a release with a hook, if clipping to the string then you want a release with 2 jaws. I have a cobra, but am looking at the tru fires at wal mart for only 20$ my buddy has one and I really like it and would recommend it to you. | |

| | I shoot a loop, and I shoot a two jaw release. I used to use a scott single jaw release, but I noticed after a while it started chewing up the loop. When I bought my new bow(this summer) I also got a new release, the tru-fire 360 elite(two jaw). Ive shot at least 350-400 arrows, and so far, no wear on the loop. | | | |

| | I also use a string loop, And I use a tru fire two jaw release, I have never had any loop damage with this release, I would recemend that type of release.There is a tension screw in the trigger, I turn mine way down so it is very light and touchy. I breath on it and it gose off. Very good release. IMO | |

| | Anything by tru-fire is good. My Father and I both have tru-fire releases and we both love them. He has the one with a pistol grip and i have the patriot. Good luck finding a good release! | | | |

| | I bought a tru fire release but I think I`m going to take it back.It has a screw to adjust the trigger pressure,but I don`t think it does anything.The trigger is so sensitive that I`m afraid if I barely touch it,it will fire.I would like to have something with more tension.I used to have the pistol type when I hunted years ago and I don`t remember it being that touchy.I think I will try to find something like that again.I`m pretty sure that it also was a tru fire.Any thoughts? | | | |

| | Silenthunter, which tru-fire did you get? I have the '360 elite', and it adjusts from, 'hair trigger' to (what I felt was)very heavy. You can also (on the 360) adjust the trigger"travel", as well as pressure. | | | |
