I shoot a carter too simple three finger and love it, I made my own paracord release lanyard so I have it attached while hunting, as that was the only negative of my last thumb release, but for me personally I shoot much better and tighter groups with a thumb than trigger.

I had a hinge for awhile and shot well with that and know some guys who hunt with one I just wasn't sure I could confidently hunt with one so I am sticking with the thumb release for now.

you can find a lot of good deals for them on AT.

I shoot a Spot Hogg Whipper Snapper. It took me a long time to get used to after using a trigger. But now I like it. It makes you continue to pull back through your release instead of punching the trigger, helping accuracy.

It takes a while to adjust to it. I'm not sure I'd switch yet if you're talking about using it during the upcoming early archery. Pulling through the release isn't as important with a trigger, especially if it's the full hand type. When you translate that to a thumb release, you can have some problems coming off the wall and having a forced release.

You might instead try some blind shooting. Target panic can cause popping the trigger. Standing 5 yards from the backstop and closing your eyes at full draw will help. Concentrate on a smooth release while maintaining tension against the back wall and having the release be surprising. Doing this for 25-30 arrows a practice session really helped me get used to my new release. It may cure your punching issues.

I shot a thumb release one time.  I about shot my other thumb off.  I gave it back to the guy who owned it.  Just not for me
