Title: Crick- It Question / Help
Post by: MJB on January 02, 2010, 03:24:00 PM
My shooting I try for a fluid motion. Focus Pick a spot, draw anchor release. I was thinking about getting one of these to insure I'm getting an consistent anchor/draw check.

Can they be used in a (fluid motion) anchor (click) release ?

Thanks

I think if you used it as a draw check it would work just fine for that.

It will work well to verify correct draw length,

even with a fluid draw,

but not necessarily correct  anchor    :D

just a quick note about the draw checks. works great once you get it set. helps you to slow down your shot sequence and center your focus at aiming.
but an important sidenote to remember. when you mount the clicker on your limb with double stick tape take note of how long the metal chain is. you will want to shorten that chain as short as possible. that chain if not shortened will continue to fly forward on each and every release and clip up the finish on your limb. i don't think it is anything to major, just some nicks in the finish. i just remember my first thought when i saw my bow after a good day of shooting.

I cut my chain down as short as I could so that it would still function, then adjusted the string from there. No troubles with it hitting my bow. I also mounted it on my lower limb to avoid any distraction on the draw. Another helpful tip I got here on tradgang    :)

If you can get a copy of Howard Hills "hitten  em like Howard" the method he uses to draw the bow made it easy for me to become consistent with my draw.IMO   :readit:    :campfire:

I think clickers are great, throw the cain away and use "release rope" cord, you can find it at any bow shop.

put a piece of mole skin on the limb to keep chain from hitting it

Do as bshunter said throw the cain away and use "release rope" cord.

Also mount it on the bottom limb up on the fade out not the working limb section.

it will work fine. However replace the chain they provide with some braided string.
