Clickers. Who uses one?

[A.S.]

I've been shooting the Clickety-Click model for about 15 years now. I use them on all my bows, hunting and 3-d. You will quickly learn if you are overbowed!

I first put one on to cure the short drawing syndrome (I was overbowed). Now I find that the main thing it does for me is MAKES me concentrate on each shot all the way through. It also keeps you from "collapsing" at release, which I see a lot of shooters do.

Give one a try, it may be the best $15 bucks you spend this year!

As an option to McDave and the suggesteed knot to tie, I just pull the string straight through the bowstring-then tie an overhand knot in the end. You can adjust the knot placement until you get the draw length correct, then burn the end. Small changes in DL can then be made by sliding the knot up or down the string. I finish by serving above and below the knot with dental floss.

I been told that I shoot it incorect, but. I have mine set up to click at 29". I set my hand, Draw,set my "gap" or my "feel", begin to draw again, when the thing clicks, I release, dont think about release, its just gone. I dont have Panic, I am learning to get to an anchor, then expand. My shooting has dramatically improved this way. Mine is set up with velcro, one piece on the bow, one on the "crick-it". I can untie the knot from the crickit, and leave the string in the bowstring. Taking the crickit off, and put it on another bow. the set up stays the same and it is mobile.

Virtually all world class and Olympic shooters use clickers.  That should tell you something.

Ol' Alan (A.S.) is one of the best shooters I've had the pleasure to shoot with.  The clicker works great for him.  He even gave one to me to play with.  I think I might play with it again this year.  Another fun thing about the clicker is the cool Springs Gang here in Va loves to make click noises when Alan approches full draw.

I think you can see it in this photo. I use flemish twist strings and I just run the line thru the bundles of the string. I get it close to my draw length and then cut off all but about 1/2", then burn the end and fine tune by pulling it one way or the other, just afraction at a time. I dont tie a knot or serve over or under and its never moved. If you use endless strings it may be something else but with the flemish twist its solid.

 

BigCyn....sound to me like your shooting it the way it supposed to work    Great idea on the velcro too.

NOOK....thats just plain mean!!!

Feel the love Yohon!!! I get no respect on the 3D range with those guys!!! LOL

Lets go get some bunnies soon, Nook.

You actually can't hear mine.It's the same clicker but I made it quiet.When it does click,you can feel it in the handle of the bow,it's like a little "thump" and the arrow is loosed.  

[A.S.]

Hey Dirty Bill, can you give any tips on silencing your clicker? I put stick on moleskin on all parts, and seems to do pretty well. I've had a couple that were just naturally quieter than others.

I don't even know what a clicker is.

I think I will have to try one. I am needing to establish a consoistent draw and anchor.

I tried moleskin,but I had better luck with rubber dip. I sent you an e mail.

Your shooting will improve tremendously.

DB, that would be awesome if you can do a post and explain it to everyone!

Thanks again,
Allen

I made a traditional clicker out of sinew and beaver teeth that fits in my pocket...can't wait to try it out on Allen...might be shootin' against him in the recurve class this year, and will need a tactical advantage  

[A.S.]

Darryl, don't think you have anything to worry about. Can't wait to get to Dixie to start shooting. Looks like we are going to miss the first shoot as it's the same day as our rabit hunt. I'll be there in Feb, hopefully with a new bow.

[Dirty Bill]

I'll do one up tomorrow.I didn't get a chance to get the stuff today.  

[A.S.]

I picked up some spray rubber coat at Lowe's (that's all they had). I'm in the process of coating mine now. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
