Full hand release?

[BULLBLASTER]

I second the carters for handhelds. I have a just b cuz. Like it a lot. Want to try a simple 1 but haven't wanted to buy one yet. I mainly use a wriststrap index release for hunting but my carter is always with me as a back up.

Is there anywhere in Spokane where someone could demo a Carter?

I am afraid that I would drop one and lose it in the woods.

Not that I am aware of. Maybe sva... if you go there. You are welcome to try mine out sometime if we can meet up. Or at some of the local 3d shoots people would let you try.

I love my Spot Hogg Whipper Snapper, 4 finger open jaw. Best thumb release for the price in my opinion. Very, very close to being as crisp as a carter and has zero trigger travel. Very easy to use as well, you cock it just by pushing the trigger forward. Also comes in a closed jaw model. Quality is great as well. Adjustable barrel and trigger sensitivity.

I think thumb releases feel better and have a more natural anchor, but I still prefer a wrist release while hunting. I like having it in my hand at all times.
I only use my thumb release when shooting feild, safari, or spots with my Vantage Elite.

Why not the Whipper Snapper while hunting?

I shoot a Scott wrist release for hunting and the Whipper Snapper for backyard. I like the wrist strap releases in the tree stand and going to and from while hunting. I don't feel comfortable hunting with the Whipper Snapper because there is no bomb proof attachment to my wrist.

I have dropped too many things from my tree stand and don't want to drop my release

I just like having my release instantly accessible. Personal preference. One less thing to worry about. I use a spot hogg wiseguy and it folds back and locks in place, so it stays out of the way pretty well. Great trigger as well. If I only hunted out of stands or blinds I would use the whipper snapper. But I'm constantly on the move hiking, mtn bike, using binos, wind checker. I would be constantly taking it in and out of my pocket and it just seems like a matter of time before I lost it, and they're not cheap. Accuracy is the same with both styles to me, thumb just is a touch more comfortable.
