Wrist assisted shooting tab

I saw this a couple weeks ago and thought it very interesting.  I "had" to try it.  The darn thing is as advertised.  I can see it very useful to folks with infirmity, injury, or some forms of target panic.

I've been playing with one for six days and find it takes about all the pressure off the fingers and transfers it to your wrist and back.  It's easily adjustable for hand size.

Thought some of you may find it interesting and perhaps helpful too.

It looks like it could help with some form issues. I have arthritis in my shooting ring finger and may have to give that a try. Thanks for posting.

That's pretty slick!

I wonder how effective it is for bad Tendonitis in the forearm & elbow ?

I guess it depends on what tendons are affected.  You might try a wrist strap release and draw a few times and see how it feels.

Here's a picture of how it works on the string and another of how I just altered mine a bit to try 3-under again.

Cool idea.

Nice modification Jim!

[Bob Morrison]

Work great on Arthritis and Tendinitis for my hand anyway, not sure if it will help elbows or not.

I'm going to try one.

For anyone who has never shot with a wrist strap, you'll be amazed at how much lighter your draw weight feels! .......... Well, maybe not amazed, but it WILL feel lighter.

Looks like something to try, but I'd like to hear what Arne thinks about it first. For example, drawing with the wrist out, would this thing interfere with that?

Eric,

I haven't tried it (and probably won't at this time).  It LOOKS to set a good string hook -- finger tips pointed back at you.  AND it would appear that using more wrist to draw will help with getting into the back more.  I, also, don't see that the "wrist out" would interfere in any way with the "device."

I can certainly see where those with finger or arthritis problems may benefit from this.  Kind of a "whatever works" solution.  I guess I'm saying that I'm pretty neutral on this idea but really don't see a "downside" at this point.

Roger has just made a Talon 3.  It will have a wider strap, the angle of strap will be in line with your fingers and be more comfortable for 3-under shooters.  It will be available in a RH and LH model.  

Mine should be here this week.  :^)

[The Talon3]

There have been a few questions about the accuracy of the Talon3 this should help. This is the second one in a month. :-(  

[Overspined]

I made one for bare hands and one for a glove. It's cool you can wear regular gloves with this!

[Keith Karr]

Looks like a great idea !!!

I wonder what the trad police will have to say about using this at a tournament.

[bogeyrider63]

Interesting.

I could see where that would transfer things to your back muscles nicely..!!! If so, what a great training teaching Aid.!!!! I watched the video,......looks like a neat innovation.!!
