| The Loesch is not the same as most other back tension releases. The normal ones have the handle as the trigger and as you draw further round, the handle eventually moves into the position that triggers the shot. The handle is like a huge trigger. The Loesch has a handle that has to be pulled but it does not have to move into any special position. So long as you pull hard enough it will release. The easiest way to imagine it is to think that the hook snaps off when you pull hard enough. It is just about impossible to anticipate because there is no movement as such. The ember is very sweet to use and very ergonomic. The only reason I selected the Loesch eventually was because of my situation at the time. With the ember, triggering could be done two ways.One, squeeze the hand slowly , which pushed the handle and the trigger towards each other, causing the release. Two, pull harder so the hand had to hang on harder which caused it to automatically tighten and set it off. Sometimes I sqeezed and sometimes I pulled and sometimes I did some of each. This was giving variations that I could do without, I had enough to do with TP at the time.
Both are very good, both require the archer to operate them properly. I think it is easier to get the trigger ones wrong, so you hit the trigger and possibly anticipate the release. If you want to ask other questions, just let me know.
By the way, getting the recurve and compound references the same is likely to be difficult. The recurve archer tends to have the string hand under the chin and the compound with hand held release tends to be on the side of the face. This puts the body in different positions and, you know the rest.In the past, many people who changed, went for the same bow draw length, meaning their body was overdrawn, this produced floating anchors( the hand was in mid air)
So, expect to use a shorter bow set up.  |
