ATTENTION: The manufacturer, for your safety furnishes all releases with wrist straps. It will protect you in the event the release is let go. It is not designed for the purpose of drawing the bow. It is to be used in combination with the release for added safety. If for any reason you receive a release without a wrist strap, please contact us. If handles are damaged from misuse, return damaged handles with $45.00 for complete repair. Removal of wrist strap or disassembling of release will VOID warranty!

OPERATING THE RELEASE:

1.  Push the rotor into place so the polished portion holds the rope.

2.  Wrap the rope around the bowstring then onto the rotor. Use a rope length that gives you the most comfortable anchor.

3.  When shooting, come to a full draw, push thumb lever in to engage and relax thumb to shoot.

CARE OF YOUR RELEASE:

• If lubrication is needed, spray the inside chamber with WD-40. Then hang the release overnight, by the rope. The next day, wipe off excess lubricant with a paper towel.
   
• Silicone sprays build up sludge, do not use them.
   
• If the release gets wet it is best to lubricate and clean as soon as possible.

ADJUSTMENT GUIDE:
This release comes adjusted and it is ready to shoot. However, because of wear or some mishap, it may require a resetting of the release’s adjustment. Any adjustment can affect the performance of the release. All adjustments should be tested thoroughly, prior to shooting, to insure desired performance. Constant adjustment of screws may cause them to loosen, affecting performance. If this happens, contact us.

Adjustment ‘A’: (the screw directly under the rotor)

1. With .035 Allen Wrench, which was provided at time of purchase, turn counterclockwise 1/16 of a turn or less for slower action.
    
2. Turn clockwise for quicker release.

Adjustment ‘B’: (the screw at the bottom of the release)

1. With a 5/64 Allen Wrench, after A is adjusted, turn clockwise to eliminate unnecessary travel after the engagement click is heard.
    
2. Turn counterclockwise if engagement click is not heard.
   
   Important: If adjustment A is made adjustment B must be checked.

TO TEST ADJUSTMENT:
It is recommended that a dead weight of approximately 80% of the peak bow weight be found (such as a large chunk of wood) with a loop of 1/8" rope secured to one end. Take the release rotor through this loop directly and pick it up off the ground an inch or two and release it to the ground. Adjust until satisfied. Then, use the release rope and make a normal pull. This should produce desired results, eliminate the danger of premature release and will give you confidence in your adjustment. Test 5 - 10 times. If problems persist contact us.

This service is free during the first year that the original owner owns the release, unless you take your release apart . To receive the free adjustment, you must send the original invoice with the release for repair. It is the shooter’s responsibility to inspect the wrist strap and rope, and keep them in good repair.
