traditional realeses??? is there such a thing

In the 60s and early 70s releases were as scarce as hen's teeth, especially those who gravitated towards the hunting aspects of archery. Those I saw were mostly homemade devices made out of hardwood and rope.

But hey, you have guys shooting inline muzzleloaders in modern camo patterns with highpowered scopes on them and they are supposed to be primative riflemen.  They get frustrated when they can't shoot a 4" group at 200 yards now.

Wow, that golden release looks like it would pack a wallop!

I personally wouldnt hesitate to use a release if I had some sort of finger release issue. I just like the idea of putting on my glove and being ready though.

The idea of a release-or release aid- has been around a lot longer than compounds. Mongolian thumb rings to name one.

I for one am loving the old pre-compound pictures of these things....awesome stuff.
