clickers

[trapperDave]

I've noticed myself shortdrawing more and more and figure its time to get a clicker and get this under control. My question is,,,which one to get. Is one any better than the others? More durable? I am looking at the two from 3rivers but open to other suggestions. Thanks

I use the Crick-It just because it has a shorter base than the other, which I figure it a good idea if you're going to stick it to a limb, which bends.

I've recently started using a Crick-it and so far I have been very please with the results.

[A.S.]

I use the Clickety Click model. I actually cut the base down until it's the same size as the spring steel piece before I install one.

I've used a "Clickety Click" for years and never had a problem. I even mount it high on the limb!

[DEATHMASTER]

Where are people mounting these high or low under riser?

[knobby]

My guess is they'll both work fine for you. I use the Clickety model. Clean the limb surface area before you apply it(I use rubbing alchohol), then I stick it to the upper limb. I also wrap camo tape around the clicker base and the limb to further secure it against being torn off. A little mole skin in the actual part that "clicks" will quiet it down, and you're ready to go. I replace the chain with just a cord. I've also seen high strength bowfishing line used in place of the chain. This makes for a stronger and quieter set-up. Good luck!

i just mounted my clickety-click on under my grip on the ends of the fadeout--right above my ef quiver mount.  i think i will like it more under my hands because it will not hang up on the hood of the quiver.

[A.S.]

Just beware...if you use the chain it WILL ding up your limb unless you cover the entire with moleskin or something.  I started using release cord or heavy braided fishing line without the chain.

clickety click w/0 chain, i use bowfishing line.
you can place it either top or bottom, doesn't matter.

[trapperDave]

thanks guys. Ordered one last night.

On a recure.....how far from the tip down (or up) should you install it?  My recurves are 60''

[A.S.]

I usually place mine just far enough down the limb so that my bowstring doesn't hit it when I unstring my bow.

[Stripstrike1]

Thanks A.S.....I didn't think about the chain scratching the finish on the bow also....great info.

Put a Criket on my son's bow and it changed his life. If this issue ever bothers me, I'll go to one in a second. Bottom limb, surgical hose over the thread.                Grant

When you shoot a clicker correctly, do you try to release immediately at the click or hold a second or two after the click while you continue to squeeze your shoulders through the shot?

[knobby]

With me,as with the Olympic archers, the clicker going off is when the arrow is gone. Try to keep pulling THROUGH the click, not just TO the click. Your release will be better and will stay in line with the arrow.If you can focus on the execution of the process, rather than the results of the shot, the desired results will follow.

[longbow fanatic 1]

Thanks for the tip, Knobby. I have been pulling TO the click / attempting to release right at the click. This causes me to pluck the string or rush the release.

[Boom Stick]

I just installed a clicker on my bow to give it a try.

I LOVE IT!

It realy calls you out when you collapse.

[trapperDave]

that it does!  Finally made it out to shoot some. What an eye opener!
