What's the real difference between a $30 wrist release and a $100 wrist release? This isn't a "companies are screwing us over" post. I'm genuinely curious. Compare the cheap vs a Carters release. There is none. Long release trigger travel vs a crisp quick travel. You'll start thinking about the release on a cheap travel. The arrow will be gone before you think too much on a good release.

It's just like any other hunting accessory. Higher price doesn't always mean better, but in most cases it does. The $100 release will be better made, function better and be more reliable. The last thing you want going through your head as you draw during that moment of truth is whether or not your release is going to function properly.

The hardest I've ever been punched in the face was by my own hand due to a release mishap.

I haven't noticed any difference between a cheaper and expensive release. I draw with my finger behind the trigger pressing against it, so I've never had an issue with one firing before I wanted it to.

I draw with my finger behind the trigger pressing against it, so I've never had an issue with one firing before I wanted it to. Also how I draw. I was looking at different models, but it's pretty useless if I'm not testing them out on my actual bow I assume.

The best thing to do is to buy the one that has the most features that you want.

I draw with my finger behind the trigger pressing against it, so I've never had an issue with one firing before I wanted it to. I draw the same way. I had a TruBall or TrueFire, can't remember, that was made especially for D loops. After 2-3 years use, it started to fail.

I hate double jaw releases. They are notorious for failing over time because the D-loop slips between the jaws.

I used the same release for nearly 14 years, before I upgraded to my current one with no issues. I guess it's possible to get a lemon every now and then.

I have a old Scott, I got it like in 92ish. Still working fine, But at the time I bought it I thought it was to expensive for a release. Some times the more expensive equipment last longer. I think you should get what ever you have the most confidence in. Strong confidence in your equipment will benefit more than the cost of it.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
