Mitch is right, Mudd made a nice one. There might be a learning curve to getting used to it though.
I have a Samick Night Hawk recurve with 50# and 55# limbs I'm not using as I can't put my longbows down. It's a good shooter and you're welcome to borrow it for the season. I personally wouldn't want to make a major change like a release aid with the season upon us. It's time to start filling the freezer, not learning a new shooting style.
I'd be honored to help a Brother save his season, so shoot me a PM if you want use her.

I tried one of the old "Hot Shot" type with the rope and a caliper type for fun when I started. I could shoot pretty good with both. The caliper did better with a loop. Still have the "Hot Shot" if you need it.

There is an old thread from a gentleman with a deformed hand. I cant find it right now though. His was similar to Mudd's in just a leather strap.

I tried it once when I ran a broadhead into my finger right before a hunting trip. Didn't work for me at all.

The easiest way would be to pm Mudd. He is a good guy and I'm sure he will help you.

To try and shoot 64#s with the one Mudd designed you better have some strong hands. I believe WildmanSC shoots with a trigger type release. I would thing off a loop it would not be that hard to adjust too. Probably a couple hours. I too have a couple bows around 53#s that you could borrow and matched arrows as well. Shawn

That looks like a very "traditional style" release to me. I may have to look into something similiar as I have some jacked up, arthritic fingers myself. Keep dropping in bow weight to still keep flinging arrows for now though.

Bob Morrison is also a resource for this topic as he shoots with a release. Some people have no choice if they want to continue shooting.
