I've had this release for about 2-3 weeks now and was really digging it.........until yesterday. I was outside shooting my bow at my 18-1 target and allwas going as planned. I moved the target out to 30 yards and pulled back on my bow, gently squeezed the trigger, heard a little click and then nothing. I was kind of stunned for a second and didn't know what to do, the arrow was still there and my release was half cocked so I gently let my string go froward then the release let go of it and the arrow sailed into the ground. I thought this mjust might be a fluke so I tried it again and it did the same thing. This happened severl more times and i ended up going back to my FletchHunter release. Anyone else have anything like this happen before? I love that release but this has me worried.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

I use a Quickie II, but have not had any issues. Have you checked the adjustment screw? Backed out too far? That screw is freaking tiny, but I have adjusted mine. I would do that first, and then contact Carter 2nd. If you do not have the instructions for the adjustment, they can be had on the Carter site. BTW, I love that release too. Here ya go. Instructions are on the bottom of the text. http://www.carterenterprises.com/products/quickie2.htm

Funny thing is I shot this thing a bunch before I started hunting with it, then I decided I better check my zero on my bow when this all happened. The owner of the bow shop where I bought the release gave me another to use and told me if I didn't like it or still had issues that he would gladly refund my money. I'll give'er another shot tonight and see what happens. By the way, I did adjust it a little bit and that didn't help.
