Fixed my problem.

Not really a problem , but since I'm shooting a hinge I have been worried about dropping my release or it not being where I need it when I need it .

I was sitting here thinking " dangerous, I know ." and came up with this idea . It works pretty well and now it's not in the back of my mind .
I just took an old wrist strap and tied a piece of d loop material onto the release and the strap .

Very cool.

I was considering going with the Scott Longhorn Hunter which is basically a Scott Longhorn Pro dipped in camo and attached to a wrist strap. I decided I don't want to take the hinge to the woods though. I want to be able to punch if needed and I'm terrible at commanding my hinge.

I weighed those options as well . But decided if I was in a position where I had to punch , I probably shouldn't be shooting anyway . I can rush my process and get it to under 4 seconds from the time I draw, anchor , and the shot breaking . If I need to shoot faster than that I'm not gonna shoot .

I am by far more comfortable with my hinge . I tried shooting my thumb trigger and a wrist strap last week , it felt terrible .

The hinge was the best thing I done for my shooting. As in throwing it down and getting far far away from it. lol. To each their own I guess. I was surprised to see Levi having a wrist strap release in his hunting pics from this yr. I figured he would be a handheld release guy all around.

Looks good buddy. Know way I would hunt with my back tension release. I did think for a moment about using my absolute 360, but as loud as that click is when it goes off...no way.

If you would have told me last year I would hunt this year with a hinge , I would have told you how crazy you were . But I have shot it for so long now , it's te only thing that I'm actually comfortable shooting . I don't want to have to think about which release I'm using at crunch time . I just want it to happen , and I felt the hinge was the only way that would happen .
But maybe I will regret it later .

The hinge in combination with Larry Wise's "Core Archery" are the best things I've done to my shooting.

The word "punch" has a bad connotation. I choose the wrist strap so I can "command" a shot if needed in a split second. I have found no loss in accuracy if I settle the pin and squeeze the shot vs a surprise release. Granted I shoot with a surprise release 99.99 % of the time when at home or on the range, the occasional punch doesn't hurt a thing.

People run into problems when everytime they take a shot it is a punch. That's when target panic can set in. Shooting a hinge with a surprise release for close to a year now has made my "command" shots much better. No longer do I slap the trigger but settle the pin and squeeze if needed.
