It only took once reaching to grab it and hitting the trigger and watching it hit the ground for me to realize I needed to find a different way. I do have a D-ring on one end and leave it attached to my D-loop while walking in or not in use. Leave it in a hand warmer that I wear either hot or cold while hunting.

This was something I worried about at first. But I set the trigger pretty snug. It has never been a problem.

The Carters I use to use had a hair trigger. It came with wrist lanyard with a knot in the end. I'd loop the knot over the buss cables so if it released, the knot would snag.

The wrist strap stays on all day, it's like it's not there. We round corners, top hills and such and it's common to be right in top of an elk. Thinking the thumb release is more suited for the tree, not sure. I shoot with a Scotts Silverhorn.

After I got accustomed to it I've never been as accurate shooting a bow consistently as I have since I swapped to it . I keep it attached to my wrist , not brave enough to leave it attached to the D loop.

I will have to rethink my anchor point and play with the travel adjustment. Seems like you have to twist the hand with the thumb down to get it close. Probably try to switch over after this season.
