Buddy laughed at me, shooting an old Fletchunter.
Then he tried it.
Ended up winning the IBO triple crown with one.

Went to a shoot, dealer that ran the place laughed.
Let him try mine.
He started selling them.

Another bud works pro shop, just hunts though. He tried a Fletchunter shorty wrist and liked it, then tried the "latest and greatest"
and went back to the Fletchunter after a couple of other releases.
Looks like most places don't carry em anymore.

Dunno if still available from Fletcher. Were not cheap, but not expensive either.
Never see them advertised on the TV shows either. Dunno if they ever had a "pro staff".

Think around 75 bucks.

I put proly 50K shots through one, zero problems. Sold it with the bow when I went recurve for a stretch.

To be honest, I started early 80's w a Joy Valley, and it broke a little spring.
Said EF that and went Fletchunter.

Single jaw, over center linkage w rollers. Simple and durable.
Since I got an old Oneida to mess with, will try to find another newer style "shorty" version.
