If you guys want to keep your release handy but not on the bow for fear of dropping it or not on a lanyard on your wrist you can simply make a longer lanyard and wear it around your neck like a grunt tube. It doesn't interfere with drawing or shooting.
Just don't let it go when you fire the arrow.

I shoot a thumb trigger (Carter just Cuz)consistently better than I do an index release however I'm also much SLOWER with it because my body and mind doesn't know how to just controlledpunch it in the heat of battle like you do an index release.
It's also louder when the sears release.

I get torn over using it every year, and then every year I bail on it and keep using a wrist strap index release.
I shoot it good enough in any condition to keep me happy anyway.
