Had a bit of a run with the SR3. Upon opening, everything looked great.
I snugged up and waxed the fall then took it out. Made it 4 whole throws and the fall apparently vaporized as it was no longer present and nowhere to be found. Fortunately customer support was able to send a replacement. While attaching the replacement, I decided to check the other connections and also found the knot by the finger loop to be a bit loose. I snugged that up as well and took it back out.
Once everything was properly tightened it worked like a dream. The finger loop is amazing. Throws aren’t wonky from the knots or the keeper loop thing. Throws are about as accurate as with the original pan. I haven’t had much chance to play with the spin correction yet.. that will be one of the next times. I did get the loudest crack out of it yet though… sounded like a gunshot and made me jump a little! It was pretty cool.
Anyway. I’d definitely recommend the SR3. I would strongly advise thoroughly tightening all knots before taking it out slinging. I have also been checking the protective rings on the release cord as they do occasionally start to slide up a bit. Besides the initial learning and tightening/snugging, I really really enjoy the SR3.
