Anyone use a draw length check? (clickity thing)

[Junkers88]

Consistency is the key and it's one key that's escaping me right now. In an effort to get more constant in my draw length I've looked into a clicker for checking draw length. Seems like a good training aid and I have plenty of training to do.

Thoughts on a clicker?

I think I mentioned that in your wrist sling threads. Lots of aids out there. A clicker is a really good aid; consistent draw length and knowing if you hit it, and if you colapse is really good feedback. I considered it, but it was something I didn't want to put into my draw cycle/routine, because it wasn't something I wanted to bring out into the field with me. I like to shoot what I hunt with and I wouldn't personally hunt with a clicker (you can, nothing says you can't)

I would like to try it for developing proper form but I am not sure how it attaches to the bow.

You attach one end (clicker) to the upper limb, and the string end to the string. You adjust the string length until it clicks at the exact draw length you should be acheiving.

There is also the option of putting it on the flat part of the riser. I watched a video on 3Rivers where they used a Sage and put it on the lower part.

It really would not matter where you attached it, so long as it is set up so that it clicks at exactly the correct draw length. I went and watched that video. I have never seen one set up that way till I watched that video. Every single one I have ever seen has always been on the top limb, closer to the tip.

I have been using one to cure target panic. They work great. This is the first deer season. I am still deciding whether I will unhook it or not when I hunt. I hunt from enclosed ground blinds. I am hoping that it will help hit the sound.

Thanks and good luck this year!

I have read that some folks use tape or something to help mute the sound. Might be worth the try?

clickers do wonders for folks, if it helps your consistency then by all means use it, I know a few guys in my area who use them and they improved their accuracy by a mile and shoot very well in tournaments

I used a clicker back in the 80's when I was shooting an indoor target bow. I cannot come up with any negatives for not using one. I have never used the glue types that I see on trad bows but the results should be the same... There are a couple good threads on TG that talk about some upgrades to the glue on type clickers.

I have put moleskin all over one and it is still loud.
