Buckle or velcro? I've gotten good service from both and have had both types break or come apart (only after years of use and abuse). It's hard to believe how hard you can hit yourself in the jaw. Get whatever you are comfortable with and check/service it on a regular basis.

I've spent several dollars and countless hours, over the years, looking for that "perfect" release and haven't found it. These days, if I shoot a release, I tend to fall back on either my old Scott caliper or one of my Fletcher fletchmatic rope releases (both are 20+ years old and have never failed me).

As a side note, I've gone back to shooting fingers for both hunting and target shooting, for the most part. They still work well, most of the time, and I've never climbed into my tree stand only to find that I left them on the seat of my truck.
