does it release when you draw?
Above plus: quietly?
Not when you draw. But I messed with the angles so that it is super easy, even with cold fingers. You can affix it to the side of your bow with double sided tape, or whatever adhesive you prefer....or just leave it loose like I do.
Yes, it is dead silent.
I have messed with this idea for years, finally built them exactly the way I want them.

Nice idea Roger. Priced right too.
Thanks Pete. Yessir, it's one of those simple solutions that doesn't need to cost an arm and a leg.
Thanks to all for the orders this morning!!!!
This sure got me interested. Placed an order today too. I usually use a rubber band and paperclip, but like the look and color of the canoe. Priced right as I saw they are a package of 5.
Too funny Roger I was going to post about this item two nights ago and ran out of time cuz I had to run out of town.
:biglaugh:
Over the years there have been various do-dads designed to hold the arrow on the bow, that looks like a real good one. :thumbsup:
Gee Ron, I think with a little "arm twisting" you could have them "field tested" at Shrew Haven this season...
Just ordered some, exactly what I've been needing. I've got that sweet looking hatchet on my shortlist too. That would make a nice Christmas gift to myself.

All orders have shipped, thank you!
I wanted to get them out yesterday, but my day job kept me in Kentucky longer than I thought.
Thanks again!!
Sorry but if it doesn't release on the draw it wouldn't seem to have much value, at least not to me.

I have never found "release on the draw" devices to be quiet enough. I shot this buck this afternoon. I had literally just sat in the stand and affixed the Arrow Canoe when he walked in.I was able to grab my bow off the hook, disconnect the Arrow Canoe, and send an arrow his way in one fluid motion. To each his own though. My Dad used to swear by a rubber grippy thing that was glued to his bow. It worked for him, I just didn't like it.

so you have to push the elastic off the plastic thing before you draw?
Looks like a good idea. How do you "actuate" it ? Just a flip of the thumb or do you have to pull the rubber band off the hook ?
I can't see how the release on draw devices can possibly be too noisy, been using them for decades and they make no sound what so ever.

Yes. just flip it off with your thumb

I would suggest that you continue using them then.
Great idea Roger!
I receive my order this week. I couldn't be happier with the price, quantity, and ease of use. A great product! A great feature is they are orange so you can easily find them once you calm down and gather your gear to track the game.

Thank you for that excellent review! We appreciate your business :clapper:
Hey Guys.....thank you for all of the orders. We are really appreciative of the response.
We just changed the pack size on our website. I had wildly miscalculated shipping costs on his item. Those $3.99 5 packs were costing us $3 just to ship. But it has worked out.....we adjusted the pack size to 15 pieces, and are charging $9.99 plus $1 for shipping. So in reality, they are actually cheaper now, you just have to buy 15 instead of 5. Thanks again!!!!
neat idea! in the past ive used just a small twig with a rubber band affixed just as this one work.
I just ordered the large set of 15. Now I don't feel bad about not sharing my 5pk with my trad buddies. I think once they get to use one of the 15, they will want to make a personal order. Come to think of it, they would make a great gift for the holidays coming up.
Good idea Roger!
I nocked my arrow off a few days ago. grrrrr
Looks cool.... I just simply use a pieace of velcro .. wrap around the bow and arrow leaving a tag end. Once you see the deer just ease the tag end off and put velcro in my pocket...simple as that. Been doing that for a few years with my longbow.
Great idea Roger, just sent my order in

Believe me i know the feeling Terry. And for me, it's always at the worst time....and the arrow always bangs it's way down my steps or ladder, "clinking" all the way.
Hey....we need to catch up, I just got some hunting landing over in Gregory....
