I am shooting the Cobra Pro Caliper release. I like the leather strap and it has worked well for me so far.

Im shooting a Scott Wildcat. Ive been having issues with it causing pain in my thumb. Ive looked at the Tru Fire Hardcore Black Max. Im gonna shoot it this wk to see if I like it. Anyone using it? I have the hardcore blk max. Becareful mine cost me a bull last year. Unlike a dual caliber release it doesn't automaticly close. I guess I was playing with it and never set it back, or set it all the way back. Anyway went to draw on a bull and it pop 1/3 way through my draw and bull when bye bye. Other then that I like it, easy to adjust trigger ect. Extremely comfortable strap. Doesn't torque real bad.

I use the TruBall Assassin. Been a great release but I have to oil the gimbal every now and then to keep it from squeaking

I have a scott sabertooth and wolf. Both are great for me. Easy to set and a nice clean break.

I love that release, my groups aren't any thing like the were with it especially 60yards plus. But I can't afford another oops again. I actually thought about going back to one and ordering the strap

Carter Quickie. Fantastic trigger and comfortable to shoot. I also love it because I can run my thumb up the string and slip the release's hook into my d-loop with out taking my eyes off of my target.
I shoot quite a bit, and when I made the switch to this release my groups tightened up considerably at distances past 40yards.
I have two little girls; which means if GI Joe ever got to take a vacation he should come to my house...Ahhh, Estrogen Land! Where lonely barbies abound without a single man in site.

I'm finally going back to a tru ball max 4 pro. It's a silent thumb release. Once you hunt with a release you can leave attached to your bow you won't go back. Also seem to shoot better as drawing is more natural with my hand out.
