Release works like new. It is about 2 years old. It has been to the woods maybe twice, but stayed in my bag. It works great, I just always find myself hunting with the finger release so I find myself practicing with this less. Finish is carbon fiber. It's not perfect, there are a few very small nicks, but it's hard to tell since it's the carbon fiber. I tried to get pictures of them but it was too hard. $75 tyd
