Sogaard Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I've had the same release for almost 10 years now (Scott Little Goose), but the stitching and leather is finally showing enough wear to make me concerned. I want to pick up a new release in the next couple of days so I have enough time to practice with it before the season starts. Anyone have any suggestions? What's your favorite release?

bowaholic Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I got one of the TruFire fold back releases and I love it! The one I have the length can be adjusted by spinning the body of the release and tightening a screw. Its nice because you can customize it to the exact length you want. Kind of pricy at $100 but I think it was worth it....I spent over $1200 on my bow so what's another $100 for a good release right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowaholic Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 It being able to fold back is such a great idea too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogaard Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) One other question, as stated above, I've always had a single-caliper release. Is there any significant difference between single and a double caliper? Bowaholic - thanks for the suggestion, I've never seen a fold back release, I'm going to have to take a closer look.

jjb4900 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 the fold back option is great allows you to tuck it under your sleeve and keep it out of the way while climbing your stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuseHunter Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I just got the spot Hogg wise guy release, and it is the really good quality, super light trigger, and the best customer support you can get. A little pricey but worth it in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefbkt Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Honestly, if you like the Scott little goose, buy another one. They still make them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogaard Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 I did like it, but I'm just wondering, after 10 years, are there better products on the market. I was looking at the open hook "no look" releases and I'm wondering if I should upgrade to something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coonhunter Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 If you shoot to your satisfaction and harvest your deer humanely evry time, I would buy the exact same release. Why change something that you like and are used to. I have used the exact same tru fire release every since I went to a compound bow many many moons ago. I wouldn't even dream of using something else because it works well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phade Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Big +1 on the Spot Hogg Wise Guy. I bought two in case...should buy another if they ever stop making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I have a Tru-fire Hurricane with the fold back buckle. I really like the adustability of the release. Plus that fold back option is super sweet!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogaard Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 I ended up going with a Tru-Fire Hardcore Buckle Release Max Camo. I love the fold back, the easy adjustments, and open hook. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I just wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions and opinions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
