Yohon,
Is that moleskin on your clicker?  Do you shoot it that way all the time or just when hunting?
Ordered two from Hunter's Niche and can't wait to put them on my recurve and flatbow.
If this works as well as many of you say, this will be the best $28 I've spent on archery.

I shoot it that way all the time, I try to quiet it down to where I feel it click thru the handle as well as hear it and the moleskin helps, electricians tape also works well.

Just remember though to keep pulling THRU the clicker till you see the arrow in the target. Just pulling the bow TO the click wont do you much good make your goal to pull well beyond a point of let go. Good luck, I can think of alot worse things to spend your $$ on   ;)

Spot on advice, John! What causes some folks to not see the value of a clicker is.....they pull to the click, and quit...it takes only another milisecond to pull to conclusion.

I'll concur with that from personal experience. Exellent, excellent advice!

recently put a clicker on my bow to help me stop short drawing, its great i feel that i have something very constant in my shooting now and accuracy and consistency has improved, i can't see it coming off.    :D

Has helped me tremendously--in many ways--I always end up putting it back on my bow---I use electrical tape--just have to change it every now and then--- I use a nockset on the string--

I got a Criket for my son and it saved his archery future- he had just about given up when we tried this. We should have done it much sooner.                          Grant

Guys, how do you attach the cord to the clicker and remove the chain?

Do you drill off the chain?

A.S.

Bob, if you have the Clickety Click model there should be a small cone shaped thingy that the chain is attatched to on the spring steel. Just push it out, insert your string, burn the end and have at it.

What kind of cord do you all use... or did I miss that in a former post...

Is it release rope or something else?

I've been putting trying one off for over a year and finally put it on the Christmas list... so hopefully Santa will come through...

I have a disconnected one on my 51# PSAX and another in the plastic still for one of my two 57# PSAX. I guess I shoot well enough without it? Might install it over Xmas and try er out.....

Jonathan, I am using release rope. It fits well by just burning the end that goes through the spring steel. In the past I have used heavy braided fishing long (saltwater sturr). It worked ok but tends to knot up some and will wear out after a few months of shooting.

Thanks Allen!  I have access to some of that...

I've seen a pic or 2 of them on the riser instead of the limbs.  Any advantage or disadvantage to that?

A.S.

Roknjs, I've used them on both the riser and limb. Can't really tell a difference other than the attatchment cord ends up being much shorter when you attatch it to the limb.

Jonathan, also forgot to mention that I put a dab of glue where the string goes through the clicker-just to hold it in place good.

Where can you get these at? Maybe a web page post? Sounds like it would help to stay constant.


Cecil

How long till you saw emprovement when you guys put them on?

A.S.

Cecil, I think you should see a big improvement from the first arrow you shoot. You will immediately realize if you were creaping at full draw or not coming to full draw before the release.

I've been shooting one for over 16 years, and love them!
