RE: best release
I do use the c-10. You can use this release with a string loop. I shot it with a string loop for a few years and had no proplem. I kept the string loop waxed to keep it a littlestiff. The thing I like about the C-10 is you hold the trigger through the draw. Then you let go of the trigger, no punch to release the string and arrow. It's kind of like shooting with fingers. Its also a durable release. I used the same one for the last 10 years. Its solid! Try it if it feels good you can't go wrong.
