I've been wanting a new release since I lost my tru ball. I'm using the cheapest of wrist strap releases at the moment. I use a string loop instead of a fancy hook point. I am not sure if I want to try a thumb release or not. I figure I'll drop it and a bruiser run by about the same time. I would like a little lighter trigger than my old tru ball. Has anyone used the tru ball center x and would this release be suitable for hunting? I rarely wear gloves hunting. It may not adjust high enough for a hunting situation?

When you say you use a string loop instead of a "hook point," do you mean that you have a D-loop on your string?
Thumb releases can be good and you can put a simple wrist strap on them so that if you do let go of it, it is still on your wrist. You can even find some models that come with a wrist strap, but the wrist straps should not be used to actually draw the bow. You'd have to try them and see what works and you may find that you'll have to go down in draw weight in order to use that type of release consistently.
I've not used the Center X but it would work for hunting. I've never been a big fan of the hook style release, but I also havent found one with all of the features I like. I have tried Tru Ball releases and they are nice. Good quality, good adjustability, and nice triggers. I've got a brand new Assassin SST that I would let go if you're interested.

See no reason the Center X would not work. Buddy uses the Fang and likes it real well. TRU Ball makes a quality product. Carter makes some nice wrist releases also, might have to order a spring kit depending how "hot" you want it set. Their triggers break extremely clean! Scott might have something you like also.

I am definitely interested in the Carter releases. And the Scott Mongoose is interesting also.

I have been using a Scott Mongoose for the last 15 years without any issues.

You are as bad as me Schunter. This was the first year this dinosaur has not traveled to the woods with me since the late 80's or early 90's, whenever Scott started making the dual caliper. Son has a couple Carters, Quickie+ and the 2 Shot. He had the Like Mike but it didn't fit his hand well.

Dave that one has seen a few shots for sure! If it ain't broke don't fix it.

My hunting release is a Carter "Two shot" it is amazing and is adjustable for how light you want the trigger.... i like my triggers a little heavier so i can "get into" the shot. I have not found a standard caliper release that can do this and i bet i own 20 of them. (I manage a archery shop). when i shoot target i use pure back tension (Hinge style) release. scott longhorn. of course the Carter 2shot is not cheap but it works the best for me!
