I’ve always used a regular Scott release with a wrist strap. A lot of my buddies are switching to the fancy handheld 4 finger thumb releases that TruFire makes. Tell me why I should or shouldn’t get one and what kind of you think I should.

They’re not for everyone. Best thing you can do is try one of your buddies releases a see if you like it.

I shot a Carters Big Kid 3D for years. Tried a wrist strap trigger from Scotts (IIRC). Went back to my Carters. The trigger is so much more crisper than a Scotts.

I prefer a handheld thumb release (Carter Chocolate Lite) BUT there's no way I'd make a change that major this close to bow season. There's more to it than swapping releases. Most of the time your peep sight will need to be moved along with a sight adjustment, d-loop may need to be shortened or lengthened, possible draw length adjustment to accommodate your new anchor point, and even in extreme instances the bow may need to be retuned.
