I like the Scott Shark.  Dual jaw, adjustable for both tension of release and length.  Also is buckle setup so no velcro to make noise in the field

This is what both my wife and I use.

I have a pile of releases I've bought, tried and for one reason or another no longer use. The last one I tried and have used for about 5 years is the scott silverhorn. No problems in rain or  dust. fast to hook and releases very smooth. It's a winner!  :tup:
I'm not sure.

Before you buy anything new. Try the Carter RX-1 or the Quickie. Forward trigger and never any creep. I shot the scott releases for over 20 years. They are not as Crisp and quiet as either of the releases I mentioned. I also have a Genises bow with a safe draw on it. You can shoot all types with out releasing any arrows.  I dont know about anyone else but creep in a trigger is a recipe for target panic. All releases should be shot as back tension, trigger or t handle. I have both in my shop if you would like to try them before deciding. I also have many T handle styles. My guess is that if you were to switch to  a T handle you would never go back.

  If you would like to try them let me know..Jim

I would recommend a entire drawer full. I currently shoot a Nock2it thumb release and Silverback tension release. When my form breaks down I shoot the silverback exclusively. I also regularly shoot a Scott little goose, Spot Hawg Wise guy and Hamskea drop time when shooting index releases. I also shoot a  Truball HT hinge. I really believe an archer should be able to shoot any release, after shooting the different styles you will find the one that works for you.

Try a hook style release before making a decision.  I can hook my D-loop quickly and with out looking down  or even thinking about it.  The same cannot be said for a caliper style release (in my experience anyway).

Thumb on the loop, hook, draw...  it's very simple and quick.  Plus you get to keep your eye on the target the whole time.
