Can you guys help me with what you think on releases?? Cheap or expensive...but cheap prefered

I shoot a Scott Little Bitty Goose. It has a Nylon strap, which I feel helps reduce torque. It is also has a single sided jaw for a consistant release. Best release I ever bought.

Depends. Are you shooting with a string loop, or off the string? If you are using a loop, A True Ball Short-n-Sweet would fit the bill. I shoot a True Ball Tornado, and I love it. I have been shooting with the same release for around 8 or 9 years. That's what I call dependable. I shoot a loop, and this release works fine for that as well. Both will run around $55.
There are LOTS of good ones out there. Scott makes a few good ones as well.

I have been researching the same thing. I called Scott's tech services and asked them what model was the best and why. They told me the WildCat model #3004 because it has a 4 hole design that can be adjusted to fine tune your hand position to get a consistant anchor point for shooting. I ordered mine 2 days ago. Check it out.

The new Tru Ball Copperhead, best release I have used yet.

I don't think there's much difference between them, really. They all still require you to point thearrow at thetarget and pull trigger. That said, I really like the "swing away" designs, b/c you can get your hands in your pockets,climb into your treestand, operate your calls, eat your lunch, grab a drink - allwithout it clanking around or tangled up in your fingers.

They'll all let go of the arrow for ya, just don't go too cheap, or you run the risk of getting something that will rust apart.

I'd go with a caliper release. They're really popular, and there's no fumbling with strings/ropes, etc. One is the same as the next - easy to replace if you lose it. I wouldn't spend under $30, or you run the risk of getting a pizza crap. Scott-TruFire-TruBall are all good brands. Calipers generally are pretty easy on your servings, too.

No need to spend $100 on a release for hunting. Look for something practical and priced right. Pay close attention to the calipers, oftentimes, manufacturers will make 2-3 versions of the same release, using the same caliper, but they'll "dress" each one differently, with pretty camo and logos on it, different wrist strap materials, and hike the price by 40-80%. Don't fall into that trap. A black strap with a plain trigger is fine. Deer aren't going to spook because your release isn't the newest style of Realtree camo.

Good info so far...and I shoot off the serving...no loop.

I have been shooting with a free flight release for the past few years

I have a cobra with the swing away feature. It was about $40.00 works great. My other release was also a Cobra and I used it for 10years, no problems. Still have it as a backup but I liked the adjustablility of this release (head can be adjusted in and out for a perfect length) and the swing away feature as mentioned. It's not going to break the bank either.

I like the Cobra line.
