In defense of Andy Amyx’s release tab design, while it may not meet the specific desires of the Reviewer above, I would like to point out that all release systems are completely user - and often effect - specific. The is no single perfect bag/holder design and release system which will fit every single performer for every single dove effect; which is why there have been so many different designs we have seen since the days of Cantu and Channing Pollock. In response to the comment about the release tab being big, stiff, and chunky, well yes, it is larger than most tabs used on other designs; however, it is about impossible to miss with the thumb or blade of the hand - specifically because - of the tab being somewhat larger than the typical tab - and, the one thing that the Pro Level Dove Worker never ever never ever never wants to do is miss the tab and fumble when releasing the bird. As it is with any dove item being offered up for general use by the masses, every individual Dove Worker needs to try a design for themselves and make a dozen productions using that design. Some will love it, some will not; but that has nothing to do with the quality of construction, proper fabric used, ease of use, safety for the bird, and surety and reliability in action - especially in front of an audience, where misses and failures are not an option - and, Andy Amyx’s products are all of the highest quality, materials, and construction; but, in the end, the acceptance or rejection of a specific design - be it the design of the bag, the pocket, or the release system - is, and always will be, subjective to the individual Dove Worker and the specific effect. The simple fact is, a Dove Worker is going to have to try them all - and, provided the item is well-made out of the proper quality materials, as Andy Amyx’s are - the individual has to choose what is right for them, the bird, and the specific effect they intend to use it for.
