I just bought that also. I really like it. |

I'm not a big guy either and I believe I have my release tightened up most of the way. I'll measure my wrist and check the adjustment on my release and let you know. My wrist is 7.5" and I have 2 holes left on my release to tighten it up more. |

My wrist is about 7 inches around. My local shop doesn't have any of the Hardcores in stock. I'll be near a Bass Pro next month so I hope I can try one then.
I'm shooting a TRU Ball Short and Sweet. It feels ok, I just don't like the velcro wrist strap and the fabric webbing that connects the release head to the wrist strap. I'm wanting a release that is just a more solid and has a more consistent wrist strap. |

I'm still using the TRU Ball Copperhead I started with in '07. I love that release and I wish I would've bought 2.
I haven't tried a lot of others but I can't get used to anything else that I've tried and I keep going back to the Copperhead. |

Well, after my wrist surgery makes it too painful to have a strap around my wrist, I've moved to thumb releases. I currently have a 2-finger and a 3-finger Carter Too Simple. |

I run my trigger in the swept back configuration. |
| I see a few mentions of the Shark release in this thread. Anybody here using a Shark II? I just picked one up. Haven't shot it yet but I like that it's so adjustable. |

It's nice! very smooth. The trigger is not curved like my old release but I didn't really notice it. It's also very comfortable. I never shot the original Shark, but I have no problem recommending this one, so far. |

Seems releases can be an addiction similar to black rifle disease Truball HBC's, Stan More-X BlackJacks  Crappy picture of my Stan Prefex  Index's are Scotts, that I don't with as often anymore, old duel caliper, an original little goose also have a Talon mixed in there as well as couple of index's and truball bone collector thumb that broke the ice in the handheld world. |

Truball Short 'n Sweeter. Nothing special. Eventually I'd like to try a thumb release but for now it does the job. ETA Lol I see I already posted this a while back. Mine is the buckle version. IIRC they also have a velcro strap. |
