Default Thinking of changing release...

I have practicing stealth mode while getting at full draw while pointing the bow at target during drawback. The only sound is coming from the velcro on my release. I hate it! what about the hand release with no wriststrap. is it that much worth it?

I've never had a problem with the velcro. I draw the bow as soon as I get settled in my stand and "seat" the velcro. It had never made a noise that I've noticed when drawing on game.

I don't like velcro releases for the simple fact that it is hard to be consistent all the time with them. On a strap release you put the thingy in the same hole everytime therefore being consistent. I also believe they are more sturdy.

Truball (and probably other manufacturers) makes replacement straps with buckles to eliminate the velcro sound:

Go with the buckle strap, quieter and more consistent.

Go with a buckle strap. You can buy them to fit your release, I just bought a couple new ones.

I am a huge fan of wriststraps that are buckle style. Scott archery makes great ones. I personally shot their wildcat with the rcs and love it.
