I have shot alot of different brand releases and have found that I am most comfortable with the scott releases. Just a personal preference though. I sell both tru fire and scott and the tru fire are good releases also but i like scott a little better.

I've never had a problem with the velcro. I draw the bow as soon as I get settled in my stand and "seat" the velcro. It had never made a noise that I've noticed when drawing on game.

This is exactly what I have done in the past but I have come to love that Little Goose with the buckle.

Just a personal preference though.
Thats EXACTLY what releases are... total reflection of personal preferences.

Personally I hate Scotts..... they are super small... WAY to light of a trigger pull... and I hate their buckles... you need a third hand to get them on because the prong of the buckle is fixed and doesn't pivot.... its impossible to get tight.

I've shot just about every make I've come across from straps to T handles to back tension.... and I keep going back to a Tru-Fire Judge Buckle..... I just feel the most comfortable with it and shoot it the best..... and thats what matters.... just what YOU are comfortable with.

I just switched to the Scott Little Goose with buckle strap. I like it a lot. It is very smooth. I totally intended on purchasing one of the new Tru Fire releases, but I didn't like how the jaws automatically close when trigger is released. I prefer how the jaw opens and stays open on the Scott releases.

Velcro? What the hell... I mean seriously would you wear velcro boots or a velcro coat? pretty simple.

The best thing to do is to go to a shop and ask to shoot some diff. styles, models, and brands to see what fits your needs best. I never could get use to a hand release with no strap. I would definately get away from velcro because of the inconsistent placement on your wrist.
