John, do a quick search on the Shooters forum. I have posted several pics and tips on set up there.

PM me if I can help further.

thanks allen will do

Also take a look at how Joel Turner recommends to use a clicker. Its an amazing system that will really get a person in control of their shot

im taking joel's ironmind online course at the moment ,that's part of the reason for giving a clicker another try

I've revisited the clicker myself and it's made a amazing difference in my shooting. I'm even going to hunt with mine attached. When setup correctly it's a great tool !

I hunt with mine on top limb or bottom limd depending on bow. I always mount mine on the portion of the limb that doesnt bend closest to the riser.

[David Mitchell]

I always put mine several inches down from the nock on the top limb.  I don't want a bunch of string hanging down to get hung up on brush.  No problems at all with this placement. This picture shows where I usually locate mine.

thanks guys , that's about where i put mine on my coyote ,think ill order a couple more for my buffalo . any body else ?

First thing get rid of chain.

I put mine on top limb like David just posted. I draw my bow and watch for a spot on upper limb that doesn't bend when drawn and place it there. I then take the cord that replaced the supplied chain and string and just put through string and then just pull it back and forth to adjust. Once adjusted i tie a knot and cut off extra. You might have to tie on some floss above the cord so it doesn't slide up.

Here is a pic of how I have set mine up for many years.

Allen is the cord you use the same as the stuff used for D loops on compounds ? also how do you
attach it to the clicker blade ,do you just melt the end ?
sorry for all the questions but ive been playing around with mine today & managed to get rid of nearly all the chain & started to get it going off but ive still got work to do .

I use the bushing that the chain is connected on. I spread it open to get the chain out and use the release rope and put it in bushing and reinstall it. I get less cutting than just putting through blade.

Joel uses a cotter pin on his to eliminate all cutting.

Yes, I use D loop material. I melt the end after I put it through the clicker blade, then coat the last 1/2" or so in glue- pull it through and let the glue dry.

How much do you cut down the base Allen... that looks so tiny... but I love that... one reason I've gone to the Crick-it over the Clickety Clicker the last several years...

I just cut the base down until it is slightly larger than the clicker blade. It makes it much smaller looking.

[twigflicker]

Thanks Allen... it almost looked like the blade was even smaller as well...

Do you have to replace the tape when cutting it down and if so, what tape do you use to replace it...

I use outdoor double sided tape that is gray with red peel off backing. It can be removed very easily but sticks really well.

I use the same tape as David M. 3M double sided tape. You can find it at Wal-Mart
