Thumb Release

[Young gun 12]

Well, I tried a thumb release yesterday while at outdoor pro in garland. Shot with the hotshot eclipse. I really wish i wouldnt have, because now my regular ole tru fire doesnt feel nearly as good. really wanting this release! any other good ones out there you guys recommend?

Also, havent been there since it got taken over by new management. Have to say i really like the looks of the store now and the guys there are great. Will be spending more time there for sure now.

I have shot a few truball models and a couple stans. Stan perfex is by far the best but also most $$. Truball max pro 4 is about as good as it gets on a budget IMHO. I can set it almost as light as my perfex but the perfex fires like a 1911. Archerytalk is a great place to buy used.

I've been using Carter a thumb release for 12 years and can't imagine going back to an index finger type release. I have a Target 3 and an Insatiable 3. The Insatiable has a little more curve to it but I can't tell a difference between them.

I shoot the Hot Shot releases. I shoot the temptest, eclipse and their back tension X-Tacy as well. Fantastic company with Awesome customer service.

I shoot the Tru-Ball ST-3 - I've tried newer releases but, they just don't feel the same to me.

Carter...amazing how much better I shoot with a good thumb release.

Stan Shootoff is the best I've shot.

I shoot an old Carter Big Kid as my primary release.

I really like a few offerings from TruBall, Scott, Stan. They feel great in hand, and fire really nicely.

Try a bunch, and get one that fits. I see a lot of guys shooting a thumb release that is just too darn big for their hand.

It's OK if you spend a good bit on one, they last for years.

i bought a carter, should be here tomorrow. if i dont like it ill be posting it up on here and going with the hotshot eclipse. I liked the eclipse a lot (one of the 2 ive actually tried) but couldnt bring myself to put up that money money.

Just looked at them. Don't both the brands cost around $200?

Do yourself a favor and buy a Stan SX3. I have tried them all, and the Stan thumb releases are my favorite....they break like glass.

I've shot quite a few. Always go back to my fang 3 finger. Don't know why but it just feels automatic to me.

Get 2 and keep the extra one on your backpack if you hunt in the air, trust me on this one.
