Whalen’s Hooker Releases ® are available in a 1 inch and a 7/8 inch model. The colors available are Black, Green, Red, Gold and Cobalt Blue. The main body is 6061 aluminum. The release has two adjustable stainless steel screws and a stainless steel hook. Included is a smooth and knurled aluminum thumb pegs which are reversible for a left or right handed shooter. No moving parts and nothing to rust on this one.
The release can be used with or without a custom made non stretch leather wrist strap. The custom wrist strap maker (Marilyn) has been making custom horse saddles for over forty years. The saddles have been sold all over the world.
The design of this release allows the shooter to draw the bow back with the thumb on the thumb peg. This acts as a safety as it turns the releases as not to fire. Upon full draw to anchor point you relax the thumb of the thumb peg. This allows the release to center up on the index finger creating dead center pressure which continues out the end of the arrow. When you continue your shot process this release will fire easier than others. This is due to the fact you don’t have to fight the inside index finger pressure to get the shot off. The release acts like a teeter totter. With no inside pressure on the release… the pressure on the outside from your middle finger makes this release fire very smooth and consistent.
It’s amazing how the Hooker Release helps in the left or right arrow issue. The reason for this is……. creating that dead center first finger pressures exactly the same every time. This consistent pressure continues out the arrow. I have held my release at full draw and let many other shooters pull on the middle finger hold until the release fires shooting X”S!!!!! It’s that consistent dead center first finger pressure design. This is why the shooters are referring to my release as the Original Release Turning Heads!
Determining the size to order:
If you are going to hold it on the flat of your fingers (See diagram) the 7/8 inch usually will work. The women and kids usually get the 7/8 inch model. If you are going to hold it deep or wear a light jersey glove the 1 inch model is usually better. The overall release size is the same. The size of the hole is the only deference.
