I believe with the Just Cuz,you wouldn't really want it attached to your wrist.IMO,the release would be too loud when loading along with being a little awkward to load in the moment of truth.
I would think with that release,you would want to leave it attached to the loop,just hanging,then just grab the bow and shoot.Of course,you would still have to get your finger in the hole of the release.
Tru ball makes a wrist strap system for their target releases.

I've been hunting with a Tru Ball ST360 and Chappy Bossthe last few years (not any longer) but instead of the big bulky strap I use stringloop material.

RE: Who's hunting with a target release?
Guys I REALLY like the Carter Just Cuz.....and was wondering if a piece of D-Loop Material would suffice as the "strap"......AND if you thought I could get the material through the cocking mechanism hole???
Anyone?
Anyone?

RE: Who's hunting with a target release?
what about some crazy glue and some real small string to keep from dropping it . just glue some kind of eye to attach the string to

How, Greg? I really wanna use this release.
My fear is dropping it from stand. If I had a way to secure it to my wrist....I'd order another one, tomorrow.
You and I shot the same release (basically). I'm assuming you don't hunt with yours, though. I'd really like to...but the only hole I could see using is the one on the end of the "lock" (whateveryacallthatthing), and the cord would have to be REALLY small.

I could run a "key ring" type thing through the cocking mechanism hole.....and I'd be able to attach a larger cord, that way.
Thank you for the tip.

Jeff - I do indeed use the ST-3 along with TRU Ball's modular wrist strap. I like the release because of that strap (I drop everything not attached to me), I can tuck the release in the cuff of my jacket when I need it out of the way, and with the open hook design you don't have to cock/uncock the release to put it on or take if off the string loop.

Matt that's a good point. Even if I made a ring to attach a cord to on the cocking mechanism of the Just Cuz.....I'd still have to lock the cocking mechanism.

**Edit** - Lancaster has them in stock for $149 + $22 for the strap.
