I' m with mass, after losing my release one time, mine doesn' t come off my wrist until I put the bow up and then I use the wrist straps to attach it to my bow. When I take the bow out, it goes on my wrist and to make it easier to carry things and climb, I turn the release so the release is on the top side of my hand until I get in the stand and get settled.
sorry about your bad day. A big part of bow hunting is eliminating all the possible mistakes and murphy laws that you can before you hunt.
