Thumb trigger release 4 use w/ a D-loop??
 
I'm going to get a thumb trigger release here soon. Problem is, I know very little about them, I've never used them, never researched them....

I do know that some aren't compatible w/ a d-loop, they hook to the string by pushing it on the string. So, my question is.......Which would be a good thumb trigger release to use w/ a D-loop?

OMG mobow, the list is endless. Carter makes a pile of great ones. Check out Lancaster Archerys huge list of them. The Chocolate line is great. Thinking about one as a back up but I love my Carter Hole Thing 3 I think I once showed you online. It can be used as a thumb or pinky. I use it pinky currently.

mobo,
I use a TruBall T handle. I don't think it's offered any longer though. I'm lookin at the T handle thumb release w/ the talon hook up.

Obviously Carter offers pretty much anything and everything you could look for in thumb-release models. I went with a Truball ST-3 (got a great deal on it), and love it! Fits my hand very comfortably and allowed me to develop a more noticable anchor point imho.

I am partial to the Carter line and specifically the ones with the I.T.S.

If I were to get serious again,theMini Evolution would definately be one I would love to try.

If you have smaller hands thenCascade Saturday Night Special might do well for you. Marketed by Spott Hogg.

Thanks guys, I'm still looking, but a buddy of mine is letting me borrow his truball Extreme....Anybody know anything about it?

I'm just gonna mess w/ this one for a bit, and see how it works........Still exploring options.

I'll show you my Carter Just Cuz + on the 12th, provided my sight makes it in by then. In fact, I'll bring it and the Connie regardless so that we can let you blank-bale with it a bit at the practice range.

The TruBall Extreme release is the same as the Trail Boss, but with a shorter head. They are good releaseses overall. I shot a trail boss for a couple of years, but I prefer the Carter releases. My personal favorite is the Insatiable.

Well I've shot the TruBall a few times, and it's decent. Not bad, I love the concept. The trigger pull is too long on it. I've got it set as light as possible. You simply cannot fire it using back tension, the trigger pull is just too long.
