Default Release?

Guys, I have had a few tru-ball releases and I really like my 360 (many holes for adjustment, travel adj., flip back design, simple screw out design); HOWEVER, it is sticking slightly but enough to create some REALLY bad habits. I got to get rid of this thing before I lose all that I have gained. I do know that I could buy the same release with a sensitivity adj. but I really don't think it will correct my problem. I think it is in the poor design of the head. The other thing that I don't like is that it is tearing my D-loop up. I wanted to order a new release asap so your quick input is much appreciated. Here is what is important to me in a release:
[ul][*]easy on my D-loops[*]sensitivity adj.[*]easy length adj. no rope or strap or loud steel bars[*]travel adj. not so much but nice[*]love the fold back design to prevent the smacking off your stand when climbing[*]MUST be smooth like a million dollar riffle trigger[*]can't get comfortable with releases where you have to use your hand to hold. I think that if you are using your muscles to hold the release, that is just one more position to create movement. wrist straps avoid this use of an additional muscle.[*]willing to pay for quality[/ul]
Did I mention that I am one of the finicky archers in our community. Thanks for your support!

I just bought a scott sabertooth about2 months ago and love the dang thing. It has plenty of lenght adjustment, a forward turned trigger, a smooth release, the only thing it doesnt have that you want is the foldback design, they might make em but mine isnt anyways. Good luck with your search.

Carter quickie. There are a few different models, and I am pretty sure will cover all your needs. I just got the original quickie and I love it. THe wrist strap is very comfortable too.

Well, I went to Gander and bought the sabertooth and shot a few in the basement. That rist band is pretty stiff, but the tension adj. is excellent, it is smooth, and looks to be a solid quality design head. Thanks for the suggestions.

It took me about a week to get the strap broke in good, after you get that it has a good feel to it. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

For a caliper I shoot a Truglo Copper Head but if I were in the market and I may anyway, I'm picking up a Scott Wildcat.
