I did the exact thing your talking about. I use the pro diamond with talon heads and a string loop on the bowstring. I started out with the extreme and found that I was much more consistant with a t handle than the wrist straps. Plus I like when your in the stand the release just hangs there and is ready at all times. The reason I use my pro diamond for hunting is that it doesn't have the loud click when going off. Guys told me not to worry about the noise that it wouldn't be any louder than my bow. But I could still hear it and it bothered me. So now I use my extreme for 3d and pro diamond for hunting exact same release other than the cocking noise and click of the firing pin. Good luck
