Before I replace it withe the same thing thought I'd see if anyone knew of anything better. Only paid $22 for it but would be willing to spend $10-15 more.

I'm a Carter Quickie (retail about $95-100) fan, but have used Scott and Tru-Ball with good results too.

Been using the same Spot Hogg Wise Guy for 7 years. No problems other than leaving it in my pack on accident and realizing it when I went to pull back on an elk :bash:
:yike: you'll never forget that one. I have nightmares about that kind of thing.

It was my first year archery hunting, left the truck on a 2 mile hike to a secluded basin I wanted to check out. Was hauling a$$ through the woods and walked full speed straight into a small herd of feeding elk at 30 yards. Somehow they didn't hear me coming, don't know how as I'm sure I sounded like a busting elk. Then I came to realize my release never made it onto my wrist as I was getting geared up. Dropped to my knees with no cover, slowly took off my pack, unzipped it and dug out my release. I just grabbed it in my hand instead of strapping it on, and about 1 second before I pulled back the wind changed and busted me.
2 lessons learned that afternoon. Elk can be anywhere in tall timber, and now I leave my release on from sun up to sun down.

I E-mailed Scott and asked if I could just purchase the release mechanism as the wrist strap and connection strap were ok.
I received an E-mail back asking what my address was, I replied with requested info, 3 days later a new mechanism showed up in the mail.
Again I E-mailed them that they had forgotten to include an invoice as to what I owed them.
They reply, No payment, Thanks for choosing Scoot for your Archery needs.
Now if the release had failed as a result of faulty material or craftsmanship, I might have just thought, well that's fair, but I was honest and admitted I did something stupid and they took care of me anyway. Unless Scotts quality takes a big drop in quality, my future releases will be purchased from them.
You are gonna pay more than $35 for a Scott, but the problem the OP has now would be of no concern.
