I used a finger release when i was younger, but have since switched to a thumb release and i havent looked back. I shoot the tru-ball max hunter 3 finger release. I really like not having a bulky strap on my wrist. I always keep my 3 finger release connected to my range finder when not in use, makes it easier to keep up with it.

I shoot the Scott index /wrist style release, but have shot a few thumb style. My point of impact changes a good bit with the thumb release and it feels awkward. I still have completely ruled one out though.

I switched to a thumb release a while back but almost immediately switched back to a wrist strap style. I shot the thumb release relatively well, but just didn't like it like I thought I would.

Carter Quickie wrist strap with a buckle (no velcro- loud and inconsistent anchor point if you don't fasten it in the same spot each time. I wouldn't consider a thumb release unless it has a wrist strap. Too much can go wrong and you will be 20' up a tree with no release.
You're only as good as your worst shot-

My dad bought me a Scott Mongoose, single caliper release w/ buckle,almost 20 years ago for my 15th bday. I still shoot it and don't plan on ever changing.

I wouldn't consider a thumb release unless it has a wrist strap. Too much can go wrong and you will be 20' up a tree with no release. I had a TrueFire Hardcore and I would have agreed with you. It had basically a weed guard thing on it, but you had to hold it in fear of it falling to ground. Very annoying. I just got a Tru Ball Fang release that locks on the string and it has be wonderful. It has just become part of my routine: put bow hanger in tree, pull bow up, hang bow, arrow on string, release on string. Don't have to think about it again until its time to shoot and your hands are free for binocs, range finder, whatever. I shoot much much better with thumb than index finger. Better, more natural anchor points for me.

Thumb release for me. I hate wearing a wrist strap! I don't like wrist straps either! I'm trying to get used to a thumb release right now. It's taking me a little bit. I'm scared to take it hunting right now, but I hope To be rocking and rolling with it by next season.

I'm scared to take it hunting right now, but I hope To be rocking and rolling with it by next season. I adapted pretty well to it. To me it felt way more comfortable. I have no desire to go back to a wrist style release. Which thumb release did you get?
