![]() Do most leave the release hooked onto the loop when your in the stand?
Did you adjust trigger at all or is it on factory setting? |

![]() I tried one of the thumb releases back in 91... Had that little rope loop that went around the string and went on the little post that was attached to the trigger.
Well it had a nasty habit of slipping when I was about mid way through my draw cycle... After a couple of busted noses, I went to a cobra caliper. Lol!

![]() Something about the comfort of knowing my release is strapped to my wrist I can't get past. I have dropped things from the stand many times in the years, dropping my release would NOT be ideal. LOL
I started shooting wheelie bows with a thumb release like this. Technology has come a looong way I am sure, but not attaching to me is the deal breaker.

![]() I know a couple guys that hunt with them. They keep them attached to a string around their neck so in case it does fall it doesn't fall all the way to the ground.
I shoot a Scott Mongoose, never tried any other style of release.

![]() Got a Whalens Hooker for Christmas I'll be playing with this spring. Already shot with it some and change in the poi. It's definitely a surprise release. Haven't busted my nose yet lol. Need to get a buckle wrist strap for it.

![]() If I was going to buy a Thumb I'd buy the STAN it' awesome! A quattro the green one!
Shooting a thumb is similar to a back tension release and you can shoot one just like it without busting your nose! the hold is alot better with a hand held release! I had to shoot a .5" shorter draw when I shoot my stan but the groups and hold are so much better as long as you squeeze and pull and dont jump on the shot
