Default New Release?

I am in the market for a new release and was wondering what you recommend for a release. I have been lookingat Scott or even a T handle thumb release.Will a thumb release change my anchor point?

I use a Truglo Copperhead but my next caliper release will be a Scott Wildcat.

Isn't that a TruBall Copperhead? And what is the reasoning behind the Scott? Us guys who value your option want to know.[8D] PS Kiss my bow for me.

Ya, Truball....duh! My bad! And I tried the Scott. It's a single caliper and easier on loops etc.. Matt / PA has one that I tried and I was impressed with the design, trigger etc... Not a vast improvement over the Copperhead but I have a Copperhead.

And I looked at your bow tonight. I was fletching arrows, I shot all 5 of mine and looked at yours.

Jerk[8D] I am jealous. Hotel rooms suck. By the way, which arrows where you fletching? They wouldn't be your new 335ish grain, flat shooting, turkey killing poles would they?

I had the 360 fold back trueball or fire. Everything was great except that it was not smooth and did not have a tension adj. I did see that they make the same release with a tension adj. but I did not want it because of the IMO poor head design. By recommendation, I bought the scott sabertooth double caliber. I don't like the short buckle rist strap and the front forward trigger. It will change your ancher pt. if you like to wrap your finger around the trigger. The alternative is to use your finger tip. Those are the negatives. The positive is that the head design is awesome, very smooth and the tension adj. covers all ranges. If buying another, I would buy another scott but stay away from the front forward design. Good luck.
