@E-Shot - I haven't tested it at all in regards to accuracy as of yet. I probably won't even use it much because mechanical releases aren't allowed in competition.

There was another thread about mechanical releases and when I saw it I just figured I'd try to put something together. It's cheap, it works and if you play around with it a bit I bet it would be
quite accurate.

The only real expense is the pouch.

As far as the release goes, You can find them at Dicks, Sports Authority, any archery shop, Ebay, or online.

I found one that would work fine on amazon here >> http://www.amazon.co...e/dp/B000KKD3G8

How about making two rings, half the thickness of that one, and this should help you with ammo pouch center. oh you and you might want to tie the two rings together where the release grabs it.

@Lightgeo - thats a great idea. I'm also thinking of maybe 2 small holes in the pouch equal distances from the center with a d-loop tied in. I have to go to my archery guy this week for arrows and I'm going to see if he can work something up. The guys a master with the bows and shoots with team Martin so I'm sure he should be able to figure something out.

You could figure 8 the D Loop string so one loop on each side of ammo and crossed at the back of the pouch. You ould also use two loops and run them both through a small piece thin tubing like shrink tubing for the release to hold onto.
