Default RE: Thumb style releases?

If I only had one release for every venue of archery including hunting, it would be a T.R.U. Ball ST-3. I currently am using and prefer a Just Cuz for all aspects of target archery, and the ST-3 for hunting specifically, but I did use the ST-3 for everything at one point. The Just Cuz fits my hand a bit better, but the open hook design on the ST-3 is a HUGE plus when using a sear style release in the woods.......I don't have to cock/uncock to get on and off the string. Add in the fact that I can use their modular wrist strap and have it attached to me so I can't drop or lose it.........and it's really the perfect thumb trigger for in the woods in my opinion. The only disadvantage is that the fit is not quite as repeatable in my hand as the Just Cuz, that's why I now use 2x different releases now for target and hunting purposes.

With all that said........unless I honestly felt it was the best fit for everything with no compromises I'd never consider only one release for everything again. I'd rather spend the $$$ to have the perfect fit for different uses.
