The Carter is similar to the release I shoot. I would recommend using this style of release with a string loop for hunting. The True Ball can be used directly on the string just like any jaw type release, but I recommend using a loop for them too. Of the two, the Carter is definitley the way to go. As a gunsmith and competetive archer I can tell you that you won't find a better sear system in any firearm or release that is better than a Carter. The strings that you're referring to are wrapped around the bowstring in place of a loop on the bowstring. The reason they aren't typically used in hunting is that they can be a bit tricky to get hooked up. My advise is get a string loop installed and get the Carter!
