Description
Hardcore's were designed to be the ultimate hook (single jaw) release with more features than any other. For starters, the hardcore has a self centering knuckle located behind the main body which eliminates side to side torque which is a major design flaw with other hook style releases. The body will actually pivot left or right for a total of 20 degrees to compensate for varying anchor point positions. Once attached to a bow, the loop or serving will line up straight with the centerline of the release which allows for a perfect shot every time. The solid steel jaw automatically closes when you depress the trigger and when set with minimal travel, trigger pressure is a mere 4 ounces. This release is the ultimate for hardcore hunters as well as serious tournament archers. As always, proudly made in the USA. The max has a separate screw that will adjust trigger pressure (separate from trigger travel) from 3 ounces to well over 16 ounces by just a couple turns of the screw. This feature is useful when wearing gloves during late season so you can now increase the pressure on the trigger for a solid feel. Target shooters can also now increase the trigger pressure for more of a "back tension" feel. Key features: trigger pressure Adj from 3 to over 16 ounces, super plush black buckle strap, over 1" length adjustment, fully adjustable trigger travel, swept back trigger, guaranteed not to slip off loops.6.
