yes they make a few different kinds. They have a brand new one called the Evolution Buckle Strap. You can see it on their website: www.trufire.com

I use the TRU FIRE Hurricane release, which I love. Actually I've got two of them.

RE: Thinking of changing release...
 

i have the same one and i love it
how much did you pay for yours? i paid 50 dollars

RE: Thinking of changing release...
 

Stealth mode? Pointing the bow at the target? How do you normally draw?

I have no noise issues from my Velcro wrist strap.

RE: Thinking of changing release...
 

Stealth Mode: Being as quite as possible while nocking arrow and setting up for aim
Pointing bow at target: Without pointing at sky on drawback, keeping target in front of sight
Normal Draw: Point bow at target, and draw back as to keep target in eyesight while drawing.

With you being "life member" and all...you probably shoot 3D and have been taught by professionals. I dont read instructions when putting stuff together, and pick up things well when I try them myself. I taught myself how to shoot, and been practicing my drawback (70#'s) without lifting bow. Even sitting with legs straight out and drawing bow without lifting.

Thats why the only sound I can hear when Im drawing is the occasional velco setting. If I shoot a few times I dont have that problem, however after climbing into my stand at 6 AM I dont want the velcoro to be the thing that spooks the deer.

Im either getting a buckle or a T handle that I have been practicing with. Thanks for the advice everyone.

All “life member” means is that I sometimes have a boring job and spend too much time on the computer.
Reality, is that 2 days ago was my first 3D, and it wasn’t even an Official Event.
I was semi self-taught to shoot a bow, as I did get some advice from my dad who was a HORRIBLE shot himself, until we both figured out what we were doing on our own. Even then it’s probably only recently that I even come close to having decent form.

I never was comfortable pulling a bow back doing the skyward thing, but I know that’s fairly common. So to me “normal” draw, “stealthy” draw are one in the same, I point the bow in the direction of the target and draw it back.

To eliminate the little Velcro noise, once you strap it on, just squeeze or press over your strap and that should take care of it.

I have a Scott Little Goose with a velcro strap and from time to time the velcro made a noise when coming to full draw. I replaced that with another Little Goose with a Buckle Strap and now a Scott Wildcat with a Buckle Strap. I love the buckle straps. Very repeatable to get it on and adjusted to the proper fit. And virtually no chance for noise. Look around and see if a buckle strap replacement is made for your specific release. I know a few manufacturers do this. Also there are some aftermarket buckle straps available out there too. I believe Lancaster Archery carries some of these.

Yes actually I would. Particularly my camo jacket. I wear Enigma camo and there are velcro straps in a number of locations. The benefits far outweigh any potential drawback. If you know how to use it properly velcro is a non issue where noise is concerned.

I shoot a scott wildcat and love it..I had an older style cobra that made alot of noise...I think the buckle on the wild cat is easy to use...never had an issue with it. the wc is also adjustable in lenght.
