Yes it is a hair trigger, very sensitive. But when it's loaded with a pull it is very stout, I'd have it no other way. Metal construction not some cheap plastic release. Buy it, you will not be disappointed. There are a lot of releases out there, this one is the bomb. I will not buy another, only this one. I have shopped Bass Pro Shops and all my local sporting goods places, this one is THE BEST. get it stop looking.
