Default Hunting Release!!????

Well its time for me to get a new release for hunting. I would like a single caliper and a short head that isnt stif(meaning on that can dangle and move in a 360* rotation) What is a good on for the money. would like to stay less than 80 but may be able to do 100 after christmas money. I have the Cobra Mamba R1 but i get blisters from the rought textured adjustable thing below the head that keeps it from unscrewing or screwing down more. For some reason i have a tight grip on the release when pulling it back(thats just how i do it) and so the rought texture blisters my finger and it hurts. its almost not comfy. so im looking for a new really adjustable manual close and open release that will fit a 13 year old. Thanks for helping!

I have used probably 10-12 different releases over the past 20 years. Last season I found a release that is without a doubt one of the best I have ever owned. Its the Tru-Fire Edge Buckle Foldback. Its around $75, and well worth the money. It can be put on very quickly, has an adjustablelockable trigger length for different size hands, and folds back and locks in that position so you have full use of your hand. If you like to put your release on your hand when you leave the truck so your prepared on your way to the stand, this is a great choice.
But...I cannot tell you which release is best for you. I would highly suggest visiting your local pro shop with your bow, and shooting it with numerous releases. See which one feels the best to you. If you dont have a string loop on your bow, I would also suggest adding one during your visit. This will give you the best contact point for your new release, and will keep you from torquing your arrow when you draw. It moves your release connection point back about 1/2", so you may have to make adjustments in the release trigger length to feel comfortable.

But keep in mind a few points when selecting a release
=> Ease of attachment
=> Hand clearance - do you need to take it off to climb your tree?
=> How does it feel when you hold at full draw for around 90 seconds?
=> Is the trigger pull and length adjustable to fit you, and is it comfortable?
=> Keep in mind velcro is noisey. I try to avoid velcro attachment, but its just my preference. I can wear out the velcro on a lot of releases in 1-2 seasons.
=> Is it in your price range?

Whatever choice you make, they'll all do the job. Just like buying a new bow, make sure "your" comfortable with it. Shoot releases from all manufacturers and find the best one for you. Good luck with whatever you decide, and best of luck this season.
