I have searched everyday that I can think of and can’t find an answer. Does anyone know if Winn is still around? I want another Free Flight and the site says that the store is closed until 1 April 2022. Any info would be awesome. I would also be very interested if anyone is selling a right hand medium. Yes, I am gonna post a WTB thread too.
Thanks in advance.

Chuck it appears they are gone. They stopped selling to shops a few years back and have been difficult to get ahold of ever since. The last few years they seem to have disappeared.
There was a thread a few weeks back about the samething.
PS it was a small family business here in Michigan.

I shot one for a long time. But if you trying to hold or pick up something it was always in the way. I moved to a Carter RX1 and will never go back. My son has it but he dont hunt. It was bought in the mid 90's and I won a lot of shoots with it back in the day Its a classic for sure.

I still have mine that I bought in the early to mid 90's. Loved it but I wouldn't go back because of the gloved hand. But that was the release to have back then.

I bought 2 because I figured if I kept one in my backpack I wouldn't have to worry if I dropped mine from a tree stand. I've been using one since 1990 and used the extra one to practice to break it in. They both have worked and still work flawlessly. Too bad they went out of business.

I still shoot one. My glove was getting kinda ratty a couple years ago so I bought 4 gloves (2 Med, 2 L) and a C-10 and C12 release. Kept the one I wanted and sold the rest. Recouped my funds plus and got an almost new glove and release. They do come up for sale now and then. Jump fast when you see them.

I am not crazy about the glove and how that forces the release placement on anchor. But the relax release Winn made is the only release that I have used where target panic does not show up for me. Closest mental process to shooting with fingers, which i love.
