Winn also makes a relax version. It's the model C-12 I believe. It is specificaly designed for finger shooter. Instead of squeezing the trigger, you hold the trigger down and relax your hand like when you're shooting fingers. I have (2) of the Winn releases. One of the original C-10 and also the loop model. I like everything about them except they are obtrusive and makes your hand pretty much useless while it's on.

I've used Winn releases since '96. I've tried others (Tru Fire Hurricane, Scott Lil Goose) but I keep going back to the Winn. It just works for me. As far as it rendering your hand useless, I don't agree with that. It's just something you have to get used to. I climb into my stands (screw in steps and ladders) with my release on as well as fumble around getting set up.
I've never had any problem with this release and I hunt in any kind of weather imaginable.

I like mine and don't plan on switching to something else in the near future. I don't like wrist strap releases and have used swivel hand held releases. After dropping the hand held release and staring at it from up in a tree stand a couple times only to have to climb down to get it, I wanted a release that was strappedon my hand and ready to go at any moment. The Winn gave me that option.

I'm use to mine. I have no problem using my hand for other things with it on. Takes a bit to get use to it though. I do wish they would have made the strap a bit longer. You really can't use aheavy glove for winter hunting here with it. I know one guy that added on to the strap and I need to do that to minealso. Not uncommon to hunt in 10 below or coldertempsat the end of season. A skimpy glove doesn't cut it!!
