I personally like the trigger, I never have shot a thumb style, I used to see them a lot in the 3-D world. I would stick with a name brand release along the lines of scott, trueball, jim fletcher or something like that...I don't thinkI have heard of allen before....You need to buy quality products as you know now, you could have been hurt....

For a thumb release I would look at the Carter line of releases.
