Default RE: Best thumb trigger release for hunting

Range-

I really like Carter releases for all my shooting types.

I use the Insatiable for hunting and the Insatiable II for target.

I like to clip my release on my d-loop and let it hang there so it's ready to go at any moment. You can get different springs for the Carter's to give them different feels to the pressure required to fire them. I prefer a heavy trigger with NO travel which allows me to "lean" on the trigger a bit and solidify my form without having a fear of a hair trigger.

The Carter's with finger holes in them don't lend themselves to hunting because they can be cumbersome to get gloved-fingers through the holes in a hurry. So stick with the open frame models like the Insatiable, BK Hunter, Target 4, etc... If you go to some local shoots I'm sure there will be lots of people using Carter's and then you can at least hold a few of them in your hand to see what fits you the best.

Like anything quality, Carter's aren't cheap. But you can find good deals on used ones occasionally on A.T. in the classifieds.
