Release aid "free flight" *DELETED*


Fishdeer

Recommended Posts

I have been using a T-handle release since going from fingers to release The one I use now is made by Tru-ball spendy but very dependable. With the a T-handle your still using three fingers to draw with and you trigger with the thumb. The biggest advantage to me is being able to leave the release on the string( I use an Ultra nock on the string.) I did end up with an inch or so less draw length and a slightly lower anchor point.

i shot a winn free flight a few years ago. It was a nice shooting release, but It had a little more trigger travel than i would have liked. I also had a hard time finding a solid ancher with it. I gave it to a friend, and he loves it. he has been useing it for 3 years. If you can, find someone who has one and try it first. I think they also make 2 different heads, 1 you pull the trigger to release it, and the other you hold the trigger and release it when you want to fire, it would probly work good for the transition between fingers and release. hope this helps a little

I have had my Wynn release for 5 years now and no complaints other than when the deer is walking down the trail toward me at a good pace and I am fumbling trying to get the release to lock on my string loop. I know I could eliminate that problem by not having a string loop but I like the fact that I don't have to replace my string as often. They are great for people who want more draw length because the head is so short and I find it to be more consistent on the anchor point than other releases. It also allows me to pull back a few more pounds because it straps to your wrist and has a palm grip.

I use a light glove under it on cold days. I have a camo muff that attaches to my waist and I have a hand warmer inside it to keep my fingers warm.

I shot the free flight for quite a few years when I just stared out. I have since moved on, but it was a very good release. I now shoot a scott for hunting and a Carter for target.(I actually have about 5 different releases for target, a couple of back tension no trigger releases, but I tend to go back to the carter.

    • Power output is:  amps x volts = watts   If your charger is pushing 10amp at 12 volt: 12 x 10 = 120 watts.  2 banks = 240 watts.   240 watts / 120v at your outlet = 2 amp.   Efficiency isn't 100% so it's gonna be more than 2 amp on your garage circuit, but maybe like 2.4 amps.     I think.... It's been a while, LOL.  Either way 20amps output on a charger for a 12v battery isn't the same as pulling 20amps off your garage circuit.
    • Wanderer, thank you. I did look at the breakers for my garage/outside outlets and they are 20 amp.  I reached out to the company that makes dual pro chargers with the question and this is the reply I received.:     Thank you for reaching out to us here at PCS. The Sportsman series charger, although rated ay 10 amps per bank, draws only 5 amps from AC when all banks are charging. As the Professional series which provides 15 amps per bank, has a maximum AC draw of 7.5 amps with all banks charging.  
    • That’s an interesting point.  While I understand how Amps work, I can’t say I’m fully versed in the draw of modern on board chargers.   By modern code, outdoor and outbuilding outlets should be 20 Amp.  If your outside or garage outlets are 15 Amp, they’re undersized.  But that is quite possible if the garage was built before that code became enforced.   With heavy use, you may not be able to keep up on daily charging without the 10 Amp per channel charger, however that’s with very aggressive use for consecutive days.  On our June muskie trip we run up to 15 hours a day for up to 7 days on a 24V Ulterra and by mid week we’re starting to see the batteries not reach full charge.  That’s a lot of bank running at nearly 2 mph on windy shores.   We charge at a dock with up to 6 boats per dock plugged in - some with 36 volt systems.  Now I’m not sure if all the outlets are on a dedicated circuit but I’m betting they aren’t.  But they’re all 20A outlets with a lot of draw on them.  At max draw, they’re not keeping up but also not tripping the breakers.   What I’m saying, without a technical review is: you’re probably fine either way.  You probably won’t tax your batteries so much that they can’t recover on a 5 Amp per channel overnight charge and a 10Amp per channel charger probably won’t be too much to plug into your 15A outlet - if it really is a 15A.  If you’re sure, you’re sure, but I would double check if you’re not 100%.
    • Another question- I wil be running 24 volts on the trolling motor for this boat, what amperage onboard charger should I buy? Some have told me 10 amps per channel, but at full draw that would be 20 amps, and my outlets at home and where I plug in at the lake is only 15 amps, is 5 amps per channel enough to charge batteries overnite after using spotlock during the day? Thanks for the help.
    • Got a look at a condor yesterday at Pinacles national park. This was the best I could zoom with my phone.
