Title: Thumb trigger release with wrist strap
Post by: TriggerMike on May 24, 2017, 10:25:10 PM: Anyone have a recommendation for a thumb trigger release that also has a wrist strap attached? Those are the only two requirements.

Same question, I hate a wrist strap and took mine off. I went with a 4-finger TruFire and love it. The strap is a pain and usually requires two hands to get back in your grip plus it is always swinging around. I didn't like a traditional release for this reason either, but I don't sit in a stand either.

I feel like it would reduce the slight chance that I would lose/misplace it on a hunt. I never take my release off my wrist while hunting.

Post by: j_h_nimrod on May 29, 2017, 10:27:08 PM: I have generally still hunted archery and I hate having something banging my hand. I used a traditional release for a couple years and would spin it to the back of my wrist but didn't like it. I now carry my 4-finger release in a pocket and pull it out when needed. To each their own style...
