Nightmares about forgetting release.

[Txpepper]

Sounds like you should leave it on the entire trip!!! you never know when a love sick bull could stroll bye looking for some ladies!!

[sotx]

if my release is not on my hand, it is wrapped around the grip of my bow...

If I have my bow, I have my release!

Same here. The instant I take my release off I buckle it to my bow

[skyhawk]

I always have my primary release on my hand or on my bow, and my back-up is always in my hunting pack

I too keep my release attached to my bow when not hunting. When I started using a wrist strap release, It was easy to do. A few years back, I switched to a thumb release (I had 2). Well, from all the spot and stalk hunting for hogs, I got into a habit of shooting, then dropping my release from my hand to grab another arra out of my quiver then swinging the release around on my wrist to get it back into my hand... When I switched to the thumb release (Chocolate Addiction), I did that about 3 times and had to go back and hunt my release because when i'd drop it, the sucker would hit the ground, and 2 of those times, I was in hot pursuit of said hog... After spending a good 30 minutes hunting it the last time, when I got back into camp I got me some bowfishing line I had in my bow-box, and served it onto the release and left a loop big enough in it so I could hang it from my wrist. This also solved my problem of attaching it to the bow. I just loop it onto the cables/string, then put my Primos bow sling on and it's stays safe and secure... but I still keep a backup in my pack...

Great advice sir. Thank you.

I do the same as Charlie. Tied a cord to my Chocolate Lite and also keep a spare release just like it in my pack.

Always on my wrist or my bow.......ALWAYS!!!

[rbsears]

I forgot mine one morning. Shot a deer without it at 5 yards only to find it was under my hunting pack the whole time. Not suggesting you don't have a backup or leave it on your wrist or bow limb. Just sayin

If I have my bow, I have my release!

[txdukklr]

i have numerous releases.

I always carry two to the field. One on the bow, one in the bag

[Cull]

I always have a spare in my backpack.

[Outlaw_6]

I keep one release in the case with the bow and a second just like it in my pack.

Where my bow goes, my release goes. If I drop/loose one I have a backup.

If I have my bow, I have my release!

This is how I do it. No exceptions, and I will never forget it.

[segbert]

I always keep it on the bow, or on my wrist. I keep a spare in my jacket pocket, and a spare in my backpack.
