Scott Silverhorn. Been shooting it for about a month now and really like the hook design.

Question about the Tru-Fire Hardcore. I want to try the fold back buckle style, but I have skinny wrists. Anyone know if the strap will fit my tooth pick wrist?

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. |

Allen 153 Caliper. Bought it on a whim at Walmart on clearance. I have one in each bow case now. It's not perfect, but for the price it does the job well.
At some point I should probably upgrade. |

This is my first year bowhunting, so I don't have a lot of experience, but I am using a Tru-ball Bandit. It was cheap, has adjustable pull, and it is quiet. It has been working well for me.

I'm shooting an old true ball release, I honestly couldn't tell you what model I've had it for so long. It continues to work year after year. Plus, they're made less than 10 miles from my house. Buy Local!

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. |

Scott quick shot was %50 off so I couldn’t pass it up. Just got it today, haven’t shot it yet but it feels 100 times better than the old Walmart special I learned to shoot on years ago.

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.

Tru Ball Short and Sweet R. I really like the hook as opposed to the dual calipers I was using before. I can hook in without having to look down when I see a dear walking in.

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. |

I've seen it mentioned that the thumb releases are more "accurate" than the trigger releases. Are you guys finding this to be true? Wouldn't the trigger style releases be more intuitive for gun guys?
