Carter 1st Choice Release Aid

Carter 1st Choice Release Aid

Carter 1st Choice Release Aid, based on their ‘Too Simple’ release aid, features the same comfortable and universal fit handle as the Too Simple but now incorporates a longer neck that matches their standard target models. The 1st choice features a self-closing jaw and the set screw tension adjustment system from its predecessor. All of these great features result in a quality but budget-friendly thumb trigger release aid.

To adjust the trigger travel, turn the set screw counterclockwise for more travel and clockwise for less travel. After adjusting the set screw, test the release by hooking a string to a stationary object and pull-test and fire the release to make sure it is safe to hold drawing weight. Caution: if the set screw is adjusted for insufficient travel, the release may fire prematurely and possibly cause damage or injury. 

*Travel refers to the degree that the trigger will move prior to the release firing.

Trigger Tension Adjustment:
Using a .050 hex key, loosen the locking screw on the side of the case. This will allow you to use the 3/32 hex key to adjust the larger tension adjustment screw. In gives you more tension, and out gives you less tension. The screw gives you a micro-adjust feature to allow you the perfect amount of trigger tension. After adjusting to your preference, snug the locking screw to keep the adjustment screw from moving. Caution, over-tightening the locking screw can damage the threads of the adjustment screw. 

General Directions for Use: 

Simply slip your d-loop into the jaw slot and push in on the cocking lever. This will close your jaw on the loop and lock it. Draw and anchor while keeping your thumb away from the trigger. After anchoring and acquiring your target gently rest your thumb on the trigger. Applying thumb pressure will fire the release.
