T.R.U. Ball T-Handle Thumb Standard Caliper Release or the Carter Solution 3? The Solution 3 can be either a BTR or not. The T. R. U. I am not sure. The Attension Spike by Carter looks nice as well. Ok the price looks right! But will either of these Carter releases work with a Nock or will I need to use a release loop instead?

RE: Can someone explain..... (in reply to Ausie-guy)
I believe if you talk to most archery coaches, they would recommend you learn how to shoot properly (with back tension) from the get-go. Most archers pick up ALOT of bad habits (myself included) when starting with an index finger release, and as the years go by these bad habits are EXTREMELY hard to break. Learn correct form from the start, and you will be happier down the road. Ausie's suggestion of a thumb trigger model is a good one. I believe Carter makes a thumb trigger release where you can disable the trigger for a pure back tension release...this may be your best option, as you can then use it in a hunting situation with the thumb trigger.
Find a good pro-shop with a qualified archery instructor, and take a few lessons.
I would also recommend purchasing "Secrets from the Pros", which is a videotape by Carter archery that is very informative and can help anyone's shooting.

Another release you may want to consider would be a Scott Little Goose deluxe model and install the spring trigger post. You can definitely institute a suprise release and even if you punch it, it seems to be more forgiving than a traditional trigger post.
