Default RE: Release styles in the woods

I'm still tossing this one around this season......basically cause' I'm an idiot and keep trying new stuff.
I have a good ol' Scott Rhino index that I have about 4 million shots through but it's a little battle worn and smells like a dead catfish.[:'(]
I have been auditioning new releases for this season.......
My Carter handheld/thumb trigger is out/ Too sensitive a bit loud on the release and I'm sure I'll drop it at least once a hunt.

I have a Copper John 'Eagle' handheld that I really like (plus I can't drop it) it's pinpoint accurate like my Carter but I still wonder how I'll do with it under pressure or on a moving target or if I need to shoot quickly?

I tried one at the IBO Worlds yesterday that I really liked a lot. The Carter "Quickie" wrist/index. It's similar in function to the Scott Rhino but with a better loop hook, a crisper and cleaner trigger with no travel , it resets itself and is dead silent.
I had a Carter "One Shot" double sear wrist/index but the trigger while very crisp was a little too stiff and much better suited to controlled back tension style shooting. The "Quickie" has a refined single sear and it is slick as snot.

I still want to try a Scott "Wildcat" but so far the Carter "Quickie" is inthe lead for a possible new hunting release.
