My evo arrived this morning. Had a go in the garden. Hit my botton lip with my fist on three seperate occasions. Everytime I take a tea break, I seem to forget about holding down the safety trigger. I'm off to a christening in the morning and will have to explain the strange appearance of my botton lip.
On a more positive note, the holding weight was spot on from the box. I don't have scales and have no idea what it is set at. My bow is set at 53 lb. I am not sure if they send all releases from the factory set to the same weights.
I'm not too sure if I will be using this as my usual everyday release aid. I went back to my usual thump release later in the day and was amazed how different the shot felt. I was actually shooting the thump release in the same way I shot the evo. The shots were a "suprise" even though I was activating a trigger. The sensation was fantastic. So even as a training aid, I am chuffed with it. I am not normally aware of activating the trigger but today it was more than just a subconscious event. I was certainly much more aware of the muscle tension building of my back and the push-pull feel between the bow arm and release arm.
My second though: I am sure this surprise release is not going to last forever. I think after some shooting, my muscle memory / brain / subconscious will very much memorise the amount of muscle tension required to set off the shot. I think the next evolution will need to be a BT release the varies the amount of tension required (within a set range).
