Using a Thumb release...any tips, set-up changes, etc..
Picked a nice Tru-Ball Thumb release in a bow package I recently bow, but I've really never used on until yesterday, and I think I like it enough, I might consider switching to using it on a couple of my bows. I noticed that it changes things a bit, and I think I can be more consistent w/ one of these vs. a wrist-strap style....Any tips???

thumb release is good if ya aint stalkin, as i lost 1 in the woods before, all within 50-80 yards but couldn't find it..wasn't in my tracks lol
make sure to practice, as it did change my shot at 40 yards by an inch or 2..it is nice cause you can leave it attached to the string, but all the pull is in your fingers now, cause there is no wrist strap.

A thumb release is all I could control (squeeze and not punch). If you use one with a rope (either on the release or attached to the string) you can roll your wrists and get a nice, solid anchor on your jawbone with your knuckles. Your palm actually faces your shoulder or even farther.
