I am also an archer and there are a fewe things you should be aware of when using a release.
1) They don't like to be bumped when they are under load. If your glider gets a rough tow up, the release might go off early. 2) The good ones are adjustable by a little set-screw under the trigger. For your application you probably want to tighter the little sum bitch down all the way. It will still only take 6-8 oz. to release and will not be as sensitive to bumps, etc. 3) It adds more weight to the plane than a conventional, proven release mechanism would. BTW, I shoot archery with my fingers because I don't like the way those releases work. 68 lb compound bow.
