Default RE: Thumb style releases?

ORIGINAL: gzg38b



Anybody ever use this one? It's a Trufire Stalker. It's a low end model but I have a friend who hunts with it and he likes it. I can pick one up for about $15 right now and I'm thinking about trying it. I've been using a Winn Free Flight glove but I want to try a thumb release. With a wife and 3 kids, I really can't justify $200 on a release when I already have one that still works.
To be completely honest, I don't think it would be worth a change in releases unless you could afford some sort of sear style of a thumb trigger like a TRU Ball, Carter, Stan, etc. I rather see you buy a 10 year old carter than something like this. I'd suggest to watch the classifieds over on that "other" site and see what you can come up with, you may see something good that is several years old pop up for $25-$35. I had a whole bundle of 40+ releases last year and wish I could have known then, because some of them went for as low as $20, yet worked perfectly.
