Default RE: Anyone using a glove release?

Like Lady Forge, I went to a glove release due to wrist problems. Tried every glove brand out there (TrueFire, Trueball, etc.) and am happiest with the Winn Loop Hook model. In fact, I've shot the best field archery scores with it, even better than with my fancy $150 target releases!

The Winn is firm, whereas the TruBall and TruFires felt spongy and harder to hang on to (like wet noodles). The Winns also pull the string closer to your face, which gives a longer power stroke and resultant increase in kinetic energy.

The Winn SS is fine for targets, but during the stress of a hunting situation you might forget to "safety" it (holding the trigger forward as you draw), which is why I prefer their other models.
