The tru ball pro diamond works well for hunting. It isn't the top notch release, but it is much quieter than the others and it is easier to hook onto your loop. I've got several and tried several others and use the pro diamond for hunting.

Been shooting a tru ball for about 4 years now and love it. Has held up great even with bows up to 85lbs. I can't even think of how many shots or critters it has taken with me.

Its not an easy adjustment. Your shooting will get worse before it gets better. A T handle release might change you anchor point and you peep height you will have to mess with different things to get it right.
