Thumb Release??

[Goose]

Anybody else use a thumb release while hunting? This is my first year using one and I like it so far. Its nice having it already locked on to the loop all I gotta do is grab and pull.

First I`ve heard of this......is it awkard at all?

[Goose]

No I really like it so far, I feel I get alot more of a solid anchor. My first two knuckles are solid against my jawbone. I also feel it helps me with punching the trigger.

Goose what is the name of the one you use, or who makes it? Also what did you use before?

If you are using the TRU BALL ones, they are great. Ideally, they are fired via back tension though they do give you the option to rush the shot if needed. I use the Pro Diamond and wouldn't change for anything.

Interesting. I have use other TRU BALL models and I like their stuff. I have used a ROLL-Aid for the past 6 years or so and I have liked that also.
 
This year I went to a Fletch-Hook and I think it's fabulous.
 
Squeezes like a fine rifle trigger or I can rest my index finger on it and use back tension.

This is my first year ever archery hunting.
 
I tried both styles.
 
The thumb was very awkward for me.
 
My hunting pal, loved it.
 
He swears he gets a more solid anchor point too!

I use the carter choc. lite, like stated above you can get a nice back tension release but you can still rush one if needed.

Carter makes some of the best releases out there. I used a Hole Thing for years.

Yeah it made me sick paying for it but I sure do love it.
