I need to get a new release and i was thinking about going to a t handel release, i was wondering if anyone uses them and prefers them over a wrist strap one. if the wrist strap kind is better whats a good one for around $30? Thanks!

my primary release is a scott, but i also use a truball pro diamond. i have read that if you change to a caliper type release while practicing it helps eliminate target panic. i use it as a backup release during hunting season, when i use it to hunt i attach it to the loop and let it hang so i don't have to take the time to hook up. it takes some getting use to. i like mine but i'm still partial to the scott.

I use a true-fire caliper release with wrist strap. I've tried a lot and enjoy this one the most.

On the other hand I enjoy using the Keg-tosser 5000.

i use a fletcher fourth finger release , it's what you would call a t handle ,it's a good release , it uses a rope instead of calipers , thus causing little if any damage to the center serving ,it's activated using your pinky (fourth finger ) you can also use back tension but it is not a back tension release . the only thing is if you are going to use it for hunting you have to keep track of it so when the time comes you know where it is!!

I have a Tru-Ball Stinger that costs around $30. I really like it, but I am thinking about experimenting witha a target type release. I checked out the TruBall Chappy boss and liked everything except the safety/cocker that pops out on release and makes too much noise. I want to stick with Tru-Ball because of their open Christianity, but I will have to try a different one.
