I have been using a wrist strap release for hunting but decided to use a handheld release this year but was concerned with some of the issues you addressed in this video. I wanted to use a handheld release, so I found one that says connected to the string and is quick and easy to connect. I went with the T.R.U. Ball Max Pro 4 finger. It has the small caliper head, and it stays connected to the loop, so it is always ready to shoot. I can also hook to the loop just as quick as using a wrist strap release. It also has a safety lanyard so if one wants to, they can keep it strapped to the wrist.

I’ve got a lanyard attached to my handheld, but because the handheld is rather heavy compared to the index, it was really difficult to do anything with it attached to my wrist. Impossible to climb into a tree stand with, noisy anytime I had to move around at all, just clanking into stuff, etc. so yes, it did stay attached and was quick to get to, but I still ended up having to take it off too frequently which defeated the purpose for me. Granted, that’s my experience and may certainly be different for you.

@@_BrianScott Climbing with a wrist strap can be noisy as well. I always waited until I was situated up in the tree before putting on my wrist strap as it was easier and quieter that way. The only good use of the lanyard on a handheld release is to keep from dropping it once up in a tree especially if the release doesn't have the ability to stay attached to the loop. I do like the truball max pro as it can stay attached to the loop and just hangs there ready to use. My wrist strap release I use is an older Scott Mongoose and I used it without a loop. Being an older release, it was made for attaching directly to the string. The distance from the trigger to the jaw is longer than with the newer releases which are made to be shot with a loop.

My handheld release as an wrist strap just like me Indexed release. And to me it's faster . But I do punche it a little more

I’ve seen a few of those around, they seem pretty cool! I think the Stan axis is the one that comes to mind, but I know there’s a couple more

I’m running a Scott pursuit. Took the wrist strap off but kept the rope so when I’m walking In the woods it is around my wrist attached and handy. But in the stand it stays on my d loop ready to rock.

I definitely see the benefit of the thumb buttons that fully clip on. My thumb button (a Scott apex) is an open hook, so I can’t leave it hanging on like yours. Probably should’ve considered one of them as an option though!

I used a Carter Quickie plus on a wrist strap for years and years. It’s still in my day pack for backup. For about 5 years it’s been a Carter wise choice thumb on a lanyard. For all indoor,3-d and hunting. IMO, both require the ability to not punch and setup correctly they can be easily controlled. I don’t understand why we see shooter after shooter of all ages still punching their releases. It’s nuts.

[@_BrianScott]

Yeah I’ve managed to really get control of my shot. It’s taken a lot of work, don’t get me wrong. Any release can be shot with control, yet, like you said, people still punch the crap out of their releases..

@@_BrianScott maintaining release control is a never ending process for me.. I work at this by alternating releases of the same design but setup slightly different. Helps me keep form and execution in better shape. Then when I use my “ go to” release it’s easier to get the results I want.
