Trufire makes a good release. I had the 360 and it worked well. I didn't have it very long though, lost it. I always wondered how long the  360 pivot would've lasted before it got loose and sloppy. I shoot a Trufire edge now and like it. I only shoot buckles, no velcro.

I'd personally recommend the Carter Lucky.  Best release I've every used.  I will only use a hook release with a flexible connector (e.g. Scott NCS).  Anyway, my  :twocents:

I just bought this release. I have been shooting with the Trufire edge, which is a great release also. It has the fold back feature which is really nice to have while hunting, flip the release out of the way and you can use your binos/rangefinder or what ever you may need that hand free for. The buckle is nice making it quiet to put on or take off the release in the field versus if it was velcro. It has great adjustability to get it to the right length for ergonomics. I don't know if this release is for everyone but I like tru fire releases they are well built and have never failed me. Lots of guys like carters, scotts or other brands. The best way to find out if a release is for you is to try one out. I am sure if you go to your local pro shop and take your bow and tell them you are in the market for a new release they will let you shoot them all.

I used a Scott Wolf for years. Not made anymore. I bought and used a Truefire Edge FB last fall. Sold it yeaterday. Not a thing wrong with it other than it wouldn't adjust down light enough for me and I didn't like the trigger travel which I couldn't adjust. Also, I like a 'forward' trigger to get as much draw length as possible. The fold back is a great innovation. You can leave your release on while doing camp chores etc.
I just got my Spot Hogg Wise Guy release a few days ago. Forward trigger, ZERO trigger travel, Buckle strap, super light trigger, I probably won't even have to do any adjustments to it, hook or post style so it loads fast, very solidly built AND it also has the fold back feature. I simply love it.

I'm curious about this statement. How does having a forward trigger effect your draw length?

A person's anchor point determines his/her draw length basically(Among other things). Using a release with the trigger close to the caliper compared to a release with the trigger 1" or more behind the caliper allows you to take advantage of your maximum draw length.
