thumb trigger releases...

[tamu_bspeck]

I have been using a rope release but Im gonna be getting a new Z7 and am thinking about getting the Tru ball from Cabela's, I wanted to see what people thought of them first

I have been thinking about a thumb release as well. I have seen a couple people put some sort of rope or lanyard so they can tie it around there wrist.

Has anyone done this?

I was thinking along the same line, I haven't shot a thumb release, but after reading an article, they mentioned that it is a good idea to tether the release to your wrist. Prevents damage to your bow and ego when you let go of the release.

The only thing I am not sure of is which release to get, I've got big hands.

Hey Im curious too are they better than a regular release I shoot the little goose

[Mike Javi Cooper]

I tend to lean toward the Carter releases because they are designed so that you can easily adjust not only the sear travel but the trigger pull as well. I really hate those releases which either have a bunch of travel before the sear trips or you are paranoid to even touch the trigger for fear it will shoot..

For hunting I prefer the handheld releases or thumb triggers as y’all call ‘em.. but no cord tying them to me instead I simply clip it to the loop and let it hang, no fumbling at the last minute to connect and I always know where it is..

I really like my TRU Ball Sabretooth thumb release.

I am thinking about trying one as well. Not sure where in Huoston you can test drive them though.

I will never go back to an index trigger release. A thumb trigger feels so much better.

Thumb release cured my target panic.

[tamu_bspeck]

thats good to hear, the reason I was thinking of switching is because when you hunt in the cold its hard to wear any glove at all with a wrist release but you can just clip a thumb release on the loop and leave it there til you get ready to shoot. which allows you to wear a glove until the shot presents itself. also I would clang my release on the stand every so often and that is eliminated as well

I just bought my first one on TBH today! I'll let you know in a week or so when I get to shoot it!

I have made the switch. Started practicing with it last year but didn't take it to the deer pasture. That is all that I am shooting now and will hunt with it next deer season. I went with the Carter Chocolate Lite 3 finger. Javi said it all, you can adjust out the creep and they are super crisp.

I've been using Tru ball for about 3 years now and really love it. I don't know if I had ever any shooting issues with index type releases but I really enjoy my thumb release a l o t.
