A couple of things, first make sure you have a backup release. There are 4 releases scattered across the west that I managed to lose. They are next to several pair of gloves, one face mask, and a really comfy flannel shirt that also didn't make it home.
More to the point, make sure you practice with your backup release every once in a while. Especially if it is not the same as your primary. I shot with both my main releases this evening, and noted that my groups with my backup were 2-3" larger than with my primary and it just didn't feel right.
The length adjustment lock on it had loosened and backed out nearly 1/2", adding 1/2" to my draw length. I shoot claw style wrist releases.
I was stringing left and right bad with that added draw length, and it certainly increased my chances of a bad hit. Possibly a complete miss. After adjustment, everything was back to the usual 10" groups at 20 yards, and I was happy.
Getting close to the day. Hope the best for everyone's season.
