  • A bit twitchy, but works
Style: Patriot
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. ... show more

  • Fantastic release
Style: Hardcore Buckle
By far the best release I've used, & well worth the money! The trigger pull is crisp with little creep, and it's adjustable, although the pull was about right for me straight out of the box (light enough for accuracy but not so light that it felt unsafe). I think the Tru-Fire strap/buckle design is the most well thought-out on the market. Unlike velcro it's very quiet, and it's much quicker and easier to put on than most other designs, thanks to the wide end tab that prevents the strap from ever coming completely out of the buckle, and to the sliding clip (rather than a loop) that secures the loose end of the strap. There's never any fiddling around trying to thread the end of the strap through the buckle or securing loop. Also, the foldback design of this particular release (not found on all Tru-Fire releases) is handy in lots of situations. The best feature of this release is the hook design of the string catch. It's much quicker to engage than any caliper release, and can be done entirely by feel while your eyes remain on the target. WAY faster to engage (especially in a dark game blind in twilight, or while walking and suddenly coming upon a buck or bull), plus it's more secure than a caliper (there's no chance of accidentally not getting it fully closed over the string loop, as with some caliper designs) and faster to disengage as well - which is especially nice when hunting on foot in rough country. You'll see in the pictures that the trigger is angled back a bit rather than sticking out 90 degrees from the body. Ergonomically, this just makes sense. With bow drawn, your index finger isn't parallel to the body of the release, is it? Of course not, since it crosses over the release at an angle - so why are 95% of the releases out there designed as if your finger should pull straight back along the body of the release? It may not matter much, but this release gets it right! That may be one reason I shoot a little better with this release than with others. Some people will tell you that a caliper release is more accurate than a hook release, because a caliper grabs the string evenly on both sides, so it won't push it to one side during the release. That seems intuitively correct to most people, and widespread belief in this theory probably explains why caliper releases (unfortunately) dominate the market. However, this release proves that theory wrong! Here are several reasons why calipers are NOT more accurate than a good hook release: 1)The design of this release is such that the hook rotates out of the way of the string loop with little to no sideways force on the string loop upon release. This can be seen by drawing the string back lightly (1/2" or so, with no arrow nocked) and looking closely as the trigger is pulled. The loop pulls out straight forward, with almost no sideways motion; the string/nock point itself has no sideways motion at all, at least none that I can see. 2)Even if the hook *did* push the string loop to one side (which it doesn't), if it did so *consistently* it wouldn't affect repeatability at all, unless it causesd the arrow to fishtail side-to-side. If it did cause the arrow to fishtail, that could be detected by a paper test, and could be corrected by adjustment of the arrow rest. 3)In any case, this release certainly does NOT cause the arrow to fishtail; with my bow set up correctly, paper testing shows my arrows flying straight as a bullet, with no detectable difference between this release and a caliper release. 4)Most importantly, the results speak for themselves. I generally shoot tighter groups with this release than with my three other releases (all caliper releases), and using this release doesn't change point of impact compared to the caliper releases. On good days, I've shot sub 3-inch five-shot groups with this release at 60 yards (using a Hoyt Faktor bow), which is better than I ever expected to be able to shoot any bow. Don't waste your money on cheaper releases, and DON'T make the mistake of thinking that caliper releases are (even theoretically) more accurate. Try it, and you'll be glad you got this one. ... show more

  • Sturdy and helpful
Style: Patriot
I’ve only been shooting bows for three years now, and only during the few warmer months. I only shoot at a target for fun. I bought this trufire last year, and it has held up perfectly the entire time I’ve been using it. The clasp is sturdy and always holds onto the bowstring without fail, and the lever is easy to flick open and closed. The touch to do so requires enough force that it’s safe, so you don’t accidentally release it, but light enough that it doesn’t take any real effort, so it doesn’t throw off your aim. Speaking of aim, this helped me keep my aim far more accurate than just using my fingers, especially for a rookie like me. The wrist strap makes it easy to pull the string back (my bow takes around 50-60 lbs of force), though it’s definitely easier to pull with just my hands. The strap is comfortable and secure, though it starts to chafe after while. I usually shoot anywhere from 30-100 arrows, and it starts to hurt around 35 arrows-just a bit. If I do 100, I’ll have an irritated red mark on my wrist that will hurt and itch for a day or two. Though considering the amount of arrows being shot, I don’t think that’s too bad. Overall, I absolutely love this trufire and highly recommend it. ... show more

  • So far so good
Style: Edge 4-Finger Release
Shot with this release for the first time today. Put about 30-40 arrows down range with it. Took a few different adjustments to get it to where I’m getting a surprise shot with every release. My groupings are already way tighter. I also like how it grips in my hand, allows for a good pull when drawing. This is my first thumb release and I’ve enjoyed it alot so far. For people complaining about misfires, they probably just don’t know what they’re doing. It’s pretty self explanatory just make sure you tighten the set screws nice and good. Read the instructions and make very little adjustments at a time. Initial set up can be a little tricky but once you get it dialed in close enough it’s easy to get it where you want it. ... show more
