I think that I'm understanding how you do it and that's the same way I shoot mine so I still don't comprehend how it happened unless the loop was too skinny or very worn. One thing I am always sure of is to hook my thumb on the end of the release (like pinching your thumb and index together) so that it keeps my thumb off the trigger as I draw.

I use a thumb trigger when hunting. Actually I use a thumb trigger now 100% of the time for every venue of archery including 3D, indoor, field/fita, and hunting. I am using a Just Cuz for everything but hunting, and aTRU Ball ST-3 for hunting use. On the TRU Ball I use the modular wrist strap system thatlocks on and off the release so that I will never drop it and lose it........if things aren't attached to me I have a habit of losing them. With the open hook on the ST-3 I never have to worry about a loud audible click when cocking it, and I get the benefit of a super crisp sear style release without the noise that others worry about with a quality thumb trigger in the woods.

Today I am taking a break from shooting because I shot a 500+ arrows this weekend, but tomorrow I will be heading out for some quality shooting time and I will bring the camera so I can video how I am using the Just Cuz, how it attaches, etc. I cannot see how one would possibly have it slip off a loop. Some TRU Balls w/ the Talon Head specifically could slip off if you have VERY thin loop material, but I dn't know of a Carter that could if you are using it right. I can also show pics of the ST-3 I use for hunting,I have a feeling a ton of you that want to shoot a thumb trigger for hunting will try one of these because it solves all the problems and fears you guys are saying you havewith a thumb trigger for hunting purposes.

Just Cuz is what I would recommend if it is going to be used for target specific venues. I also do not have large hands, I only have average sized hands and a Just Cuz fits my hand best, unless you have really thin fingers I think you hand will be cramped on a Fits Me Too. Have you tried any well known models of handhelds? I have shot most out there and can give a comparison if you know of another that does fit you.

Thanks, Matt... I'd probably say my fingers are more average, but a bit on the smaller size of average... Matt/PA didn't think a Fits Me would work for me. I shot his Just Cuz a few times in my back yard and it felt nice.

I'm also looking at the Scott Longhorn IV primarily because I can get a good deal on one of those, if you've got any experience with that release...

Scott longhorns have been around for a long time with a lot of proven success on the tournament line. I have shot a longhorn pro, and it is quality all the way, great option for a hinge or "hook" as I call them. They are very comparable to a Tru Ball BT Gold, TRU Tension, or Stan Mag Micro. There is a big difference though, the longhorn is a hinged triggerless back tension release, not a thumb trigger like the Just Cuz or Fits me too.
