Guest realtrhunter Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I am pretty sure that I saw this on here before. I am looking for a thumb release to use for hunting and 3D/target shooting. Can anyone reccomend any? Also, does a thumb release improve your accurace over a trigger release? If so what is the theory behind it?

ultratec1 Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: Thumb release You can use any thumb trigger release for hunting. There are some that you can actually clip right on to the d-loop and leave them hanging until you are ready to shoot. Now as far as if they are more accurate then a index release..........no the release themselves are no diffrent, it is the way that you use the release that makes it accurate. The reason that so many shooters use the thumb trigger release is because a majority of them use backtension when using them. Now we have started a completely diffrent subject As far as your question yes- you can hunt with them No- in my opinion they are no more accurate then a index release.

Guest realtrhunter Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: Thumb release If you are going to use back tension to trigger a thumb release then why not just use a back tension release? I thought the point of having a release that you have to touch off a trigger on was to be able to fire when you wanted to and not have the shot be a suprise while you are focusing on the target.

hutchies Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: Thumb release Because most backtensions have no trigger on them so you don't know when they are going off. With a thumb release you can always punch it if need be. Personally I use a Truball Pro Diamond and love it. I honestly shoot tighter groups with it. Like Ultratec said though the trigger mechanism is not any better than the same trigger mechanism on a wrist type. Here is the one I use and it is about $100. http://www.truball.com/ProDiamond.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: Thumb release I've used the same Carters Big Kid 3-D release since 95? for 3D and hunting. You can use BT or squezze off as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
