    I currently have a TruBall Short n Sweet, but they stopped making them this year. Sadly. I've had the Hurricane as well and didn't like it one damn little bit. The Scott Lil Goose would be my choice if I didn't have my Short n Sweet.

    Scott Release with the S-horn end. I love Scott release because they have touchy triggers. Plus they seem to last forver.

    I like the Scott Lil Goose. My personal opinion on releases is get one with a buckle vs one that uses velcro. You always get the same anchor point with a buckle.

    I have a TruBall Cyclone that I hunt with and Carter Chocolate Addiction that I shoot targets with. If I was in the market for a release I would be looking at few of the Scott brand ones (can't remember the name) or the TruBall Copperhead. Good luck.

    When I used a wrist strap style, I used a Scott Wildcat but I switched to a thumb release so I now use a Spott Hogg SNS. I also have a Carter Choc Add but my wife uses it

    I had been using a Scott Little Bitty Goose for the past 7 or so years. I got to looking at the Sabertooth. Then I looked some more and shot one. Then all of a sudden, one showed up in the mail last week!:d
    Real nice release. I am glad that I got it. I really like the forward trigger.
    Also, I agree with others here. I definitely have always liked the buckle over the velcro.

    I'm shooting the Target 4 now but the new one I have makes a loud click when it's engaged.

    If you're into the wrist strap this is the way to go:

    But I've also like the Ember II:
