I'm just about to get back into compound archery after a couple of years concetrating on trad archery.
I used to use a wrist release aid ( a Copper Head which I had to fire off with my wedding ring finger due to hand/wrist injury) and this time I want to have a go using a handheld release. I've been told that I could get a better release using one and that it might help in getting rid of my 'punching' habit.
I was thinking about buying a True ball Chappy Boss with the 360 swivel head as I will have a 'D' Loop fitted. I've held one and tried it with a length of string with two loops as they had no left hand bows at BS when I popped in and my new bow has not yet arrived. It felt strange but I think I could get used to it.
After observing me Steve feels that the Carter Chocolate Addiction would suit me better and is going to bring his in for me to feel/try.
I have to have the back of my hand towards my face because I have a fused wrist and pronation/supination is limited.
keeping that in mind, my concern knowing absolutly nowt about hand held release aids is that without the swivel head won't I be twisting the loop thus torqing the string?? Does this matter, I feel it does but stand to be corrected?
My fingers have little feeling/dexterity so I know putting loop through loop is going to be a real pain for me. It has to be as fiddle free as poss.
Your advice and experience would be most welcome guys an gals.
