    Well I went and did it. I ordered me a thumb release tonight. I ordered a TRU Ball ST360 4 finger release. I can't wait to get it in and shoot it!!

    Great! I think you will like that release a lot. Just like my ST-3, but with the rotating head. That feature is nice for accommodating various anchor positions/hand angles. That's one thing I don't like about mine. I've been playing with my hand position, and I'm finally at a nice anchor with the barrel in a nice location, but my hand angle is torquing my d-loop slightly.

    Mine gets torqued too Matt, but it seems I have stock in D loop material. Redhdcharm on HNI loves me.

    That's one of the reasons the D loop is there; eliminates torque from the string.

    True. I'm not one to actually put a whole lot of weight on the effect of loop torque has on the shot, it's just a bit of a personal peeve, I suppose. Plus with the open hook of a release like the ST-3, I'm always paranoid of too much twist causing the hook to slip out and release from the loop (although it's never happened, and likely won't).

    Yes the reviews were helpful. I got it in the mail today. Can't wait to get home and shoot it to see how I like it.

    Messing around with the release without shooting does make a loud click, however there is not a click when shooting it. I dont think I can really say if my grouping has improved yet. I'm still getting use to it.
