    Scott Shark, loving it so far.

    Interested in trying a thumb style release though.

    I've been shooting a Stan Xs-2 for about 8 months now; I can't tell you how much I like that thing. I keep a Tru-Ball Max Pro 4 as my back-up. I may try one of the Scott Exxus for back-up purposes for next year.

    Yes it is and I love being able to adjust every aspect of it. It has nearly zero trigger travel and I stopped jerking on the trigger within an hour of changing releases. It was a real game changer!

    I shoot a Carter Chocolate Lite 3 finger and I love it. I am looking to pick a 4 finger now too, leaning towards the Carter Easy 1.

    I changed from a couple different Tru-Fire releases over the years to a Scott Samurai this year. No more punching the trigger. More like a hair trigger. I keep my finger behind the trigger til I'm ready to shoot and ease it around and let her fly. It doesn't take much. I shot 3 deer so far this year with it. I ain't switchin any time soon.

    Glad it works for you but this can lead to lots of issues for most.

    I began with a TRU ball black diamond and loved it.

    Recently lost it and had to use a TRU Fire foldback 360. Terrible release. I think it malfunctioned (in that it seemed to go off and I was 100% sure I had all fingers behind the trigger at the time). Also, it did make my bow harder to draw. I binned it.
