What kind of hand/thumb releases do you guys use ? I'm in the market for a new one . I don't want a back tension , but a thumb trigger . Any recommendations ?
Say Josh !!! Whats your last name?????????? :moon:I would be bias toward Carter

I tried to switch and couldn't. Before I would dump a bunch of money on one I would buy a lower cost one or a used one.
I've heard good things about trueball or Carter. I would be bias toward Carter

PYBucks said:Carter makes great releases and you can usually find a good used one in the archerytalk classifieds. I bought a like new Simple 1 off there for $120. I'll be hunting with it this fall
Also, back tension is a technique not a release type. I shoot my Simple 1 using back tension.

Im with you on the Stan. I shot Carters for years then a buddy bought a the SX-2 so I gave it a try. Haven't picked up a Carter since....I have a Stan SX-2 for hunting - a little pricey but super crisp and tweakable.
