    Question Bought a new release

    Hey guys i just got a new release the Tru-Fire Lost Camo Edge Buckle Foldback and when i went to pull my bow back it fired aka dry fired and im curious as to why then i shot it a couple of times and it was fine. Then on the next pull it dry fired again and im confused as to whats going on? Any help would be appreciated.

    Not familiar with that one. Does it have a adjustable tension?

    how light is the trigger set and is it capable of pulling back your draw weight. i know its a dumb question but anything possible.

    I've had that happen in bow season - had to leave an arrow 20 ft up in a tree 'til after the season was over. I have since gone back to using my slow, longer bow, and shooting fingers!

    maybe it was the trigger tension... factory settings should work, unless you lightened it. sometimes it packaging/instructions will tell you how low you can set it. i try not to draw my bow without an arrow nocked and pointed in a safe direction(also at something that would cost less if i hit whatever is in front of it). d-loops can break and all kinds of stuff could go wrong. you never know.

    i do know some others on here (joe aka rangerclay comes to mind) shoot that release or very similar TruFire and like it a lot.
