Punched myself today!

[Remps17]

I shot through my D-loop today and took one in the kisser. Luckily I was hardly drawn back before she gave loose. The cams are still good, thanks goodness.

Anyone have ideas on how to get rid of a burr on the hook part of a release? I noticed that there is a small burr on the hook that caused my humiliation today.

Thanks

Small file should do it, then maybe light sandpaper. Do you think you did it or did it come from the manufacturer that way? If new, I’d at least report it to them.

I took one to the cheek bone today too! Mine was me just not getting the release closed all the way on the D loop. Only got drawn back a short way but was just starting to pull hard for the 70# draw.

Paint store, 1/4” foam with 1000 grit embedded. Cut a 1/4” wide strip and use it like a rope saw.

Sandpaper, needle file, stone

Did the same thing a month ago. Almost broke my jaw and had to drop to one knee...lol

how did you get a burr on the inside area of your release jaw?

Yep, smacking yourself teaches you how to draw your bow.

Assuming Aluminum jaws...very fine sandpaper [400/600] and or some polishing compound works....too rough like a file still leaves it rough.

Yep, smacking yourself teaches you how to draw your bow.

Or how to "not" draw your bow.

Took a file on the end of fingernail clippers and used that to carefully file down the sharp part of my release. That did the trick
