Folks in another thread wanted a review on this release.
For those unaware this release is not available in the US... but thanks to folks on AT, I found a way to order and have it shipped to me.
I took the release out of the package and tried it on my shot trainer and was immediately blown away!!!! The trigger bar and sear have roller bearings and is incredibly smooth. I made some preliminary adjustments with my shot trainer and hit the range. I was shooting my Peak 38 and Kill'n Stix Tournaments (23 series) as I'm preparing for a 4 event series sanctioned by USA Archery.
The initial/factory setting for trigger resistance was unbelievably light but shot the first 10 arrows with only the head length and trigger position adjusted. This was too light and it would fire as soon as I started getting "into" my back. This resulted in a few errant shots. I managed to keep them in the white... but dropped points are dropped points.
I made adjustments every couple shots to find my "sweet spot". Every adjustment provided repeatable results on the target.
I think I'm about 90% set up.... I'll do some more fine tuning over the next few days. Hopefully I am comfortable enough with it to shoot it at a FITA tourney next weekend. (but we'll see how Leagues go)
I ended up at 300/50x... I'm normally a 54-56x shooter but have a few 60x games in practice. (I'd have picked up a few more Xs with 27s)

I'm very excited to see what I can do once this release is fully adjusted... I haven't been excited about a release in a long time!!!
My only complaint about the release is the strap. Very stiff leather.... Those of you who served n the Military back when we had black boots, you know how stiff and uncomfortable the leather is. I suspect this release will be just like those boots.... uncomfortable as hell until fully "broken in"
