what happened? last year my hubby broke his hand, i bought him the rip shot, and he fell in love with that release. it is made by riparchery. after his hand healed he went back to his Fletcher release for 2 shot and been rip shot every since. if anyone is interested pm me i will send link.

That thing is different....

Now I've seen everything. maybe next they will come up with a gremlin that attaches to your back and pulls the bow back for you so you can eat your lunch while shooting at a deer...lol

the ripshot is cool though when hubby broke his hand and it also effected some of the fingers he tried to use the JimmyT and he could not control that to draw the bow back and with the ripshot he was able to and the company stands behind their product cause the one strap was getting a tear in it cause of a bur on the metal part and they sent out a replacement for free we have told alot of people about the ripshot and they love it is also is good if you have a bad shoulder too my FIL has a bumb shoulder and he was able to shot the bow with ease with the ripshot. I want to get myself one and maybe our 2 son's one if they want one.

I looked into the ripshot, still considering it. Looks as if it would take the agitation off the wrist / carple tunnel. And if I'm not mistaken you can adapt most releases.

yes you can, from what Mike says no tension at all on wrist

had atorn tendon fixed in my left shoulder, can't even hold up my bow. I'm hoping to gun hunt with a shooting stick, thanks

I have to have surgery on my shoulder which would have left me in a sling also.....I made the decision to postpone it until after hunting season...I made that medical decision easily

I missed last year's bow season as well due to rotator cuff surgery. I salvaged the season sitting behind a .243 Thompson Encore pistol propped up on a camera tripod inside a pop up blind. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do !
