I've decided to change to a thumb release. After reading a few articles and forums, I'm going to give it a few shots to form my own opinion.

Suggestions?

If anybody has a quality used one, I'm definitely interested.

I finally started hunting with one this season. Wish I would have switched sooner. I’m using a Carter Chocolate Lite 4 finger.

I tried one, didn't like it. Felt to strange after shooting with a wrist for so many years.

I shoot a Carter Plain 1, was a 4 finger but I cut the last finger Spot (pinky spot) off & made it a 3 finger. I'll post up a pic

You don’t have to sit there with a release on your wrist. Anchor points feel more natural also.

Noted. I hate having one on when it's hot! Might look into that. Learning curve I'm sure. They all clip on loop and hang there ready or some made like the silverhorn and just catch the loop?

I’m sure there’s some with just a hook, but I’d get one that will clip on your loop. That way you don’t have a loose release to try to keep up with and dig out during the moment of truth.

I have a knot in my wrist string that i put down in the buss cables. If i trip the release by accident, it will catch if it falls.

I keep a spare release in easy reach just in case.

Thanks for your input gents!

Do any retailers within a hour of Auburn sell Carter releases?
