A clicker??

What exactly does this do? I heard about them but not sure what they actually do/help with.

They are basically a draw check. They allow the shooter to get back to a certain point every time before the "click" goes off.

I started using one when I had TP really bad. Since having it on my bow I draw to the exact spot every time and tell my self to keep pulling until the clicker goes off. when I hear the click I release the arrow. It has helped my shooting tremendously.

hum... may need to look into that

Yep, I went through a bad bout of TP that reared it's ugly head our of no where. I could shoot targets all day, but something about live critters made me fall apart. Adding one to my bow helped a ton.

I've often thought of trying one for form purposes to make sure I was getting to my full draw and not leaning into my anchor too much.

how many people would you say use or have used one? % wise. I never hear of anyone using them.

David Mitchell · September 29, 2015, 07:30:00 PM

No idea how many or what percentage, but I have used them for years and see them at about all the shoots I go to. A lot more guys would be better off if they used one.

Landon, we just need to get together one day if you want to try one out. They are not a magical cure, but they can be a very useful tool of used properly.

Like I told you on the phone, I have shot one since 1992. I have them on all my bows.

I don't want to side track the thread, but I have to ask, how does the person using the clicker not get to a point where they anticipate the clicker going off and start releasing prematurely? I have never used a clicker, but that has always been something I have wondered about them.

Bisch, I have never experienced that, but like I posted above, the clicker is not "magic beans". I have seen lots of guys put one on their bow, only to rip it off in a fit of rage a short time later!

They take work, and dedication to execute them properly.

Bisch the key is not to focus on the click but the motion to set the clicker off

It is that last drawing,of the shoulder muscles that should reach the click.
One thing for sure the clicker will let you know if you are over bowed.
